7.12pm Wow. Despite the start Fakhar gave them, Qalandars were nowhere in this game until the last five overs. Enter AB de Villiers. He cracked an unbeaten fifty, adding 98 in 7.3 overs with David Wiese, who contributed a no less important 45 not out that included the winnings runs, off the last ball! They shared in eight sixes, taking an incredible 73 from the last five. Is this the game of the tournament so far? After his three wickets, how important was that no-ball by Junaid Khan? A game changer, quite possibly.
AB de Villiers is called Player of the Match for his unbeaten fifty
"It got a bit closer than I hoped for at the end," says de Villiers. "I was fortunate in being able to take my time at the beginning of my innings. David Wiese takes a lot of the pressure off me, being a boundary hitter. I get very nervous. To the youngsters out there, my message is that it's ok to feel nervous in a situation like this, just take it one over at a time."
Usman yasir: "Dont score 200 or more in PSL, otherwise u cant defend this. 3 times 200 plus has been scored and chased successfully"
SADAF MEHDI: "Sharjah and Last ball six...Love story"
Zubair Islam: "Luqman.....enjoy the Biryani.... u won the bet"

Qalandars need 3 from the final delivery
Jay Dee: "Dear Liam, please confirm they are with Cricket Ball i am doubtful that they are playing with Football." -- **squints** Yep, it's a cricket ball
Luqman Saleem: "LQ acting like Pakistan's national cricket team. One minute down, next minute up! One match ~70/10 next match successfully chasing 200. If LQ wins, I will win 2 plates of Biryani (bet with sister). Come on LQ! Come on my Biryani"
Ahmad H. Nadeem: "In my view, this is going to be the best match in PSL this season. From where LQ where, and when ABD arrived the whole scenario transfigured. Quite peculiar of a match" -- And it's not over yet. Last over coming up, and Qalandars need 9 from it. Wiese on strike. Odds on a super over? Dan Christian will bowl the over
Syed Murtaza Za: "Super over anyone ? "

Ahmad H. Nadeem: "Apologies for my third comment but here goes: For those who are saying BT's injury will effect LQ. Simply read this. I think it will be a blessing upon LQ for not having him at this stage because he isn't a big hitter, and let's not forget he is a Test and ODI match domination."
Akira Zenon: "I think Sultans studied for Zaman & ABD while Wiese came out of Syllabus and this time Professor Fawad Rana himself made this paper."
