United vs Gladiators, 23rd Match at Lahore, PSL, May 03 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Touch short on middle, shifts his weight back and sends it miles over deep backward square for a six; Quetta win the cliffhanger, what a sensational game of cricket that kept us hooked right till the end

On a length and angled in at middle, goes for the pull and gets a thick top-edge and it's beyond comprehension, third drop in a short span of time, keeper runs back, third man runs in, nobody calls for it and gets out of the way, Gous dives and it pops out of his gloves, Quetta have got luck on their side, they have got so many lives

Fraction short and just outside off, loses his shape but still manages to get decent enough connection to send it sailing over long-off for a six, that will calm Quetta's nerves. Two dropped chances and now this will salt on IU's wounds; brings up his fifty but that doesn't matter, the match is on a knife's edge

Another drop at short third, back of a length wide of off, throws his hands at it and runs across and it brushed fielder's fingers but most importantly for Quetta it dribbles away to the rope

Short of a length and meandering outside off, he slices it in the air and it stayed up in the air for a while, Mayers and Shahzad run in at point, Mayers stopped and Shahzad got the ball and fluffed it, he is absolutely livid with himself

He does swing and gets a faint edge according to the on-field umpire who raises the finger quickly, it was a snorter in the channel and he threw the kitchen sink at it, troubled by the pace, trying to smash it across the line, ball is close to the bat. Wasim wants another opinion. There is a spike and he has to go

Superb wide yorker, opens the blade and nurdles it to short third man up in the ring; 15 to win the game, little too steep but gettable, Wasim needs to swing

Climbing from shorter length and attacks off-stump, hurries him as he goes for the pull, not off the middle, stops near midwicket, excellent comeback after being hit for a four earlier, experience coming to the fore

Pulls his length back, effort ball that rises steeply, millimeter from hitting the top of his helmet but he crouched too and he asks for a wide and everyone sees the funny side of it

Back of a length, nibbling away in the channel, swing and a miss. Polite inquiry for a caught behind, Salman wants another look. ball is nowhere near the bat, excitement getting better of IU

Over the wicket, short of a length and shaped outside off, he plays a glorious cover drive and it's been timed to perfection, no need to run for that

Back of a length slanting away outside off and doesn't offer much pace, steered away past point for a run

Low full-toss on the shin, shanked to deep backward square; QG need a boundary to keep asking rate in check

Too short and outside off, pulls it across the line to deep midwicket, IU are unable to prevent these ones and twos

Shorter on middle, worked wristily to midwicket and a misfield allows them to add another run, third

Short and angled wide of off, forehands it down to long-off for a run

Over the wicket, near yorker on off, hacked to deep midwicket's right, gathered quickly and pings a sharp throw

That'll help Quetta, length and given width, he gets a fat outside edge, played it fine and third man has no chance to get around it, a timely boundary for Quetta and ruins the over for Holder

Pace-off shorter length ball on middle, drags it away square of midwicket, quick running, puts pressure on the fielder

Yorker fired in and a fraction outside leg-stump and he is not happy with the umpire's signal
