9.47pm It's a low, slow surface but Peshawar Zalmi have managed to reach 153 for 8 thanks to Imam's fify, Dawson's 43, and Sammy's hitting at the end. KK's spinners, and particularly Sikandar Raza, were very effective in holding down the rest of the order. Join us in 10 minutes or so for the chase.

"The wicket got a lot better as the ball got older, and that helped Zalmi to post a total," says Sikandar Raza. "But I'm confident that with the dew and the ball coming on to the bat, we can chase this."

Waqar Ahmad : "4 ducks by a batting side......... Then there should be no matter how imam bat today... "

Sean Daniel: "@Mir Shahid bash, I'm a bit confused with ur comparison. It's not always about power hiting. U need some one who could anchor. And babar azam is a much more capable batsmen.. I would want both of them.. correct me if I'm wrong.."

Last over coming up. Yamin to bowl it

Zain: "An innings builder is someone who can bat for the majority of the innings with the right scoring pace. It is a poor innings getting 50 runs from 40 balls when you are chasing 200 for example. I think babar can do that well while imam is I think a touch slow. "

Saran: "My answer to this discussion is "Jacque Kallis" complete package,one of the best who ever played the beautiful game"

Johar: "@Talha, I was smelling the jinx in your comments"

Jay: "It's all about the combination of these two things, and luck, at times, plays a vital role as well. If you're good enough to smack the ball out of the park but not consistently, or you can score a few runs with a strike rate of below 100, it's highly unlikely getting you a spot for a t20 cricketing side."

Hadi: "How about consistency mixed with power hitting? Kohli is the prime example. And how about Babar's treatment of Steyn recently. Power hitting with consistency can be brutally beautiful"

Amir: "Well the stage is set for Sammy and Hasan to smoke a few sixes ..."

Talha: "Babar made 28 off 38 in the last game - in a t20. Why do my countrymen keep acting like they're used to having Millers and Maxwells in their sides? Malik, Akmal etc. is the best we've ever had. Imam has 45 from 36 right now as I type this and from what I've seen this SR is as good as what any of the others can do on a normal day. You ask me, Imam has it in him to be a much better t20 bat than them - better range, better balance. A couple of his sixes in SA series were extraordinary."

Umair: "Umar Khan in this match = Adil Rashid playing tests for England (Specialist Fielder) " -- Here's Sammy to face his first ball

Mir Shahid bash: "What is more important in T20's Consistency or Power hitting. Afridi or Babar"

Amir Javid : "Sharjah has a small stadium and the wicket is a batting paraside, Zalmi won't be able to challenge with a score less than 150."

Mazhar Shehzaad: "Cricket has moved on from big hitters. The likes of Afridi, Pollard, Gayle are now a thing of the past ( i know gayle scored 100 yesterday). Inning-builders are the new cool. Look at the men topping the charts. Kohli, Williamson, Root and even Babar Azam.All are inning builders rather than big hitters and excel in all forms of cricket. So will Imam if he's consistent"
