7.19pm Gladiators continue their unbeaten run, courtesy a perfectly timed knock from Sarfraz. Another tight finish in the PSL, and those five or six missed run-outs in the field really came back to haunt Qalandars. Had they been able to break the stand between Sarfraz and Nawaz a little earlier, it all could have been very different.
TahirTDM: "Sarfaraz you Beautyyyyyyyy.... "
Naseef: "Wiese gets back what he gave last night!!"
Dr. Haroon : "Sharjah and last ball sixers: a great love story "
Carey Over: "We still need to give it up for Abhijato. He may have finally been on the wrong side of the prediction, but how close was it? Please, Liam, describe his endeavours! Irrespective of what has happened, he will forever remain a cult hero in many of our eyes!"
ABdullah: "Semi instant karma for wiese :D"
Two required off the last over. Sarfraz on strike. A single will see a super over.
Khurram Shahzad: "Super Over Smelling" -- Could be, they need 3 from 2
Should they have taken that single at the end of the last over? Surely better to have Sarfraz on strike. There is a lengthy conference in the Qalandars camp as the new bat walks out.
Rashid: "@Shehryar, Crystal ball still creating fog. Don't undermine Abhijito's predictions until last ball is balled."
Anwar Ali b Wiese 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
Last over coming up. Wiese will bowl it. He hit the winning runs last night, can he bowl the winning over this time around. Gladiators need 7 to extend their unbeaten run

Mo: "captaincy requires experience, pak have to start grooming our younger players to take up the mantle so we are not in the position we were in when the butt scandal happened, or when misbah retired, although azhar did fine for a short while, we should be able to promote a leader from within the squad rather than out of the blue make the new squad member the captain. teams like NZ with kane, SAF w markram, Engl with Root, and India with Kohli are a few examples of this"
Awais Muhammad: "anyone smelling super over?"

ShehryarAhmed: "Alas!I have lost count of the run out chances missed by LQ in this innings"
AB de Villiers is up and about in the dug-out, but clearly not well enough to take the field
The partnership is worth 49, and Quetta Gladiators need 14 from 12 to win

Ossama: "Lahore have only themselves to blame for their poor fielding. So many run out chances missed. And why isn't Anderson bowling? Better than Weise surely."
ShehryarAhmed: "According to the great Abhijato, LQ will win now. Maybe it's the time that one of the predictions of Abhijato turns out to be wrong"

Asif Ali: "When someone talks about a good player to be a captain. The next thing come to mind is, his performance will be effected. I am just curious where are players like Imran khan, Wasim and clark , dhoni whose performance got improved with capatiancy "
Dr Harpot: "Afghanistan finish with 278/3, with Zazai scoring 162* off 62. According to the sources at the ground, most of the crowd members are being treated, while the Irish bowlers are in an ICU after witnessing the innings they did. It's like an anti-tumour - it's enormous, but no one will want this assault evicted from their brains!"
Meanwhile, at Dehra Dun, Afghanistan have just broken all sorts of records in their T20I against Ireland.
