Zalmi vs United, Eliminator 2 at Karachi, PSL, Mar 15 2019 - Ball by Ball Commentary

hah, Pollard's taking the mickey. Bowls a loopy slower ball as the final one, and the batsman just watches it go through. That's that, and Peshawar have won by 48 runs. They will meet Quetta Gladiators in the final, where a new champion will be crowned because Islamabad United haven't been able to defend their title. Good campaign by them, even if the last defeat was insipid

fullish outside off, swings and misses

Swatted into the offside that time, and Wahab tumbles to his left and dives to save the boundary

Hasan Ali misfields at deep midwicket and allows a four. Too casual from Hasan, because he knows his team have won this, but Pollard's looking daggers. It's his bowling figures that are being affected. Hasan throws up a hand in apology

length ball, he swings across the line and manages to just get it over the straight fence. Chris Jordan at the boundary caught the ball, and tried to parry it back in because he was going over the ropes with the momentum, but couldn't do it in time, and it's a six. Okay scratch that, the umpires have just signalled it's not a six. Perhaps because Jordan was able to throw the ball back into the field of play when airborne? Not sure though

speared this into the stumps, but a bit too far down leg and it takes the pad to roll away to short fine. Wahab wasn't happy with himself, think he wanted to bowl it at the stumps and sneak through the gate, after having bowled full and wide earlier.

full, fast, on the fifth stump. No chance the batsman had to connect, especially a proper tailender

full and wide of off again, Rumman stretches his bat and manages to toe-end the ball past the bowler

pacy ball outside off, on the seventh stump. Poke and a miss

this is all ending quickly. Shadab's miserable stay comes to an end with a spooned catch to cover. He goes for a duck, having not managed to play a single convincing shot in his stay. This was a full ball, and he wanted to go straighter, but couldn't connect well at all

full and well wide of off stump, but within the tramlines. The batsman doesn't connect

yorker length on a fifth stump line, he goes for an ambitious hoick, but connects only with air

full and straight on the pads, rolls away to short fine

well timed, but straight to Pollard at long-on. Full ball on off, and this was hit straight back over the bowler, pleasing follow through and shape - but not enough power. Pollard didn't move a millimetre, just stayed where he was and cupped the ball around head high

digs it in short and quick, too much for Sami, who backs away and tries to pull but doesn't connect

full on off, swings hard at it, but gets a thickish inside edge to deep square leg

taken at deep midwicket full ball on the stumps, and he picked up nicely off his toes, but sent it in the air and straight to the fielder. Faheem's resistance comes to an end, and so do any faint hopes Islamabad may have had

short outside off, and slapped to Sammy at cover. He doesn't take the single, so that Faheem can be on strike next over

remarkable over, man! Back of a length, wide outside off, and he tries to slap a cut. Misses again
