pulls it to the long leg boundary and that's Quetta's victory
United vs Gladiators, 6th Match at Dubai, Feb 17 2019, Pakistan Super League
Gladiators won by 7 wickets (with 10 balls remaining)
Outstanding innings from Shane Watson. The 37-year old looked in cruise control ever since he walked out to open the innings and now walks back with 81 off 55 balls and the tag of highest run-getter among overseas players in the PSL. Umar Akmal also sparkled in the middle of that chase, making plenty of his fans out there come out and clamour for his inclusion for the 2019 World Cup. He's the Man of the Match as well. Right then, thanks for your company, folks. See you again soon.

slower short ball - Watson only picks it up midway through his pull shot, adjusting his backlift and getting a single through midwicket
full toss outside off, pulls to deep square leg
ficks a full delivery angling into the pads quite neatly away to long leg. Parnell's down there, racing to his left, putting in a big dive and saving a certain boundary
launches the half-volley outside off into the stands behind long-off. Monster strike!
looks to pull but the ball sneaks below the bat - somehow misses the stumps - and runs away for byes!

shortish and outside off, cuts to deep point
