straight up and Hasan takes a juggled catch. The Quetta Gladiators complete a stunning turnaround victory. A touch short from Hasan, yasir goes back and looks to pull but gets a thick leading edge, goes straight up and Hasan settles underneath it.

Full commentary
7.00pm Whew, what a game. The Qalandars were rocking that chase for its majority. The Gladiators chipped away and kept themselves in the hunt with wickets. Their fielding was decent, their accuracy good. And the Qalandars have just been undone by some spectacular spin bowling. A rather sluggish surface and a low-scoring thriller, superb entertainment.
Presentation time.
Hasan Khan is the Man of the Match
Brendon McCullum: "A funny old game, both teams feeling out the competition. Timid in parts. We tried to get too safe against spin, we got good players, I'd rather them caught at the boundary than bowled or lbw."
Sarfraz Ahmed: "A couple of fielding lapses but we recovered well. A lot of motivation from our support staff. The key was wickets."

shouldn't be a run there. Worked down to short fine leg for a quick single. Is there a direct hit? Irfan took his time to get across but got there eventually

Mills to Yasir Shah, no run
uh oh. Full and wide, Yasir looks to go over mid-off. No contact. Suddenly, run rate is a factor too
Plenty of noise around too. A proper low-scoring thriller

Mills to Mohammad Irfan (4), 1 run
just wide of slip. Full outside off, a thick outside edge. Splendid captaincy from Sarfraz, he has third man so fine for the No. 11
13 off 15. One wicket. Quetta suddenly favourites. A slip in place

Mills to Narine, OUT
gone! Quetta have the wicket they need. What bowling from Mills. Doesn't bother with the slower delivery, goes full and straight. Just a touch short than a full length. Narine is rooted in the crease and the ball pins him right in front. On this surface, bounce is hardly going to be a factor. Given.

13 needed off 16. More importantly,. Gladiators need a wicket. Yasir Shah is the new man.

Mills to Bhatti, OUT
how is that? A direct hit at the bowler's end. it's either a wicket or two runs. A length delivery from Mills, tapped to cover. The fielder picks up, turns around and effects a direct hit at the bowler's end. Bhatti is short by a few inches. Fantastic fielding. How crucial will that be?

fired outside off, Narine doesn't care, clears his front leg and heaves the ball way over long-on. Six more. What an innings he has played

bowled. Big wicket. Flat delivery and straight, not very pacey. Gets the ball to stop a touch, beats the bat and hits middle stump. Undone by the pace of the surface. Beautifully bowled
