Gladiators vs Sultans, 14th Match at Karachi, PSL, Mar 03 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary

makes room and sends this high into the Karachi sky! Faf du Plessis charges in and completes a great catch diving forward and - wait for it - QUETTA GLADIATORS WIN A GAME. THE CHASING SIDE LOSE! Broken streaks galore here, and the PSL has finally - belatedly - given us all a twist we wanted to say far earlier than it actually came

lovely sower ball that dipped back in. Tahir could only poke it to third man and scampered back for a second that was never really on. Sarfaraz collects the throw from Zahid cleanly and knocks the stumps down with the South African well short.

slower ball again, doesn't connect, and they run a bye

pace off, he went through his shot early. Beats the batsman

four more! Well, Tahir's done his best. It takes a top edge and sails over Sarfaraz's head for four. The captain comes and pats Hasnain on the head. He's in a better mood now he feels victory's in his grasp

another short one. Tahir can't seem to connect with them, but in fairness, they are seriously quick

banged it in short and beat him with the extra bounce

not quite as well timed, but it's sliced over mid-off, giving Azam Khan a nice little chase. He manages to cut it off before it goes for four.

length ball, 148kph again. Tahir can only block it

well, wasn't that nicely timed? Tahir carves him over point for six! Gloriously timed, and such nonchalance to a delivery bowled in excess of 148kph

Ben Cutting shells a skier, denying Zahid a hat-trick. Zahid, to his credit, just shrugs it off, but he'll be bitterly disappointed. Imran Tahir scooped it to long-off, and Cutting had all the time to get underneath it. But it pops out of the Aussie's hands

and another wicket, things are falling apart now! Sohail Khan tried to smash it over long-on, as he needed to, honestly. A really sharp catch from Faf sends him back

is that the final nail in the coffin? Rizwan moved across to try and sweep him over midwicket, but it was too far outside off to really connect properly. Hasnain runs to his left and completes a sharp catch. 66 off 50 for Rizwan, and this chasing streak looks like it's finally - FINALLY - ending

clipped him over the covers. The deep fielder, Qais, had to be alert to ensure it didn't bounce over his head!

shut me up with that. It's in the slot, he gets in position and claps him over midwicket, comfortably clearing the ropes

rips off the surface, Sohail has a slog, might be wiser to give Rizwan the strike

length ball clipped to long-on, and Sohail keeps the strike. No problem this, for Quetta

misses his length, it's an even higher full toss, but Brathwaite doesn't middle this! Lost his shape on that shot, and miscues it to long-on. Cutting takes an easy catch, and Multan - and Rizwan - are being cut adrift now

misses his length, it's a low full toss. Brathwaite slaps it back over his head for a boundary. Those are the risks of trying to bowl yorkers at this stage

smart yorker to greet Brathwaite, at 148.3kph.
