Shane Watson's unbeaten 91 seals Quetta's PSL playoff spot
Zalmi paid for a conservative approach through the early and middle parts of their innings, which meant Kamran Akmal's quickfire fifty went in vain

- Zalmi were 162 for 3 heading into the final over of the first innings with Pollard humming on 43 off 19 balls. But he only faced two balls as Bravo produced a masterclass in death bowling, his yorkers and slower balls undoing Darren Sammy and costing just three singles.
- Pollard had a chance to run Watson out on 19 in the fourth over of the chase when Shehzad drove Sameen Gul to mid-on. His diving stop denied four initially, but after getting to his feet, with the stumps at the non-strikers' end about 20 yards away, he missed his target.
- Not only did PSL's leading wicket-taker Hasan Ali go wicketless, he spilled both Watson and Shehzad. Watson's chance was a difficult one, on 26 in the fifth over driving at mid-on where Hasan got fingertips to it as the ball burst through for four. Liam Dawson's first ball of the day in the eighth over offered an easier chance, with Shehzad on 22, but Hasan couldn't get hold of the top-edged sweep.
