  • Sohail Tanvir4-0-21-2

5.13pm Quetta Gladiators opted to bowl first, and the performance of their bowlers has vindicated that. A couple of batsmen got in, but none could really break free - even the great AB de Villiers. Sohail Tanvir was economical up top, but it was the 19 year old Ghulam Mudassar who had the most impact with his 3 for 21. Join us in a few minutes for the chase.

Danish Wahab : "My God..... @Abhijato your crystal ball is flawless like ABD"

Dr Abdullah ash: "I watch Lahore for Salman butts redemption quetta. For Umar akmal 2.0, Karachi for amir, Peshawar for imam to fail and Multan for lala and I don't watch Islamabad because of no star player"

VenkatCM: "LQ didn't utilize the petrol, found very difficult to change the gear. Looked liked they got a gear down without a boundary after my request to change gear. Did they forget how to change gear?? Lets see the opposition driving now :)"

Zain: "Abhijato, I don't know if I should laugh and say your crystal ball is broken with 143 on the board or just say you are simply a genius with a target of 144"

AftabDawn : "@Sir Abhijato: who will win today... please tell sir... I don't want to waste my time anymore here... I have an exam tomorrow!!!!"

Rixwan: "How often one would see that abd is 44 on 39 balls... Really????" -- Well, it's a dry, slow pitch and he's crooked his back

Ghulam Mudassar to Lamichhane, no run, huge swipe from Lamichhane, but he hits only fresh air

Abhijato: "Rahat Ali and Yasir Shah were predicted to launch the ball downtown in the death after AB's injury according to the crystal ball, but the Superman continues with a slight hindrance in his ball striking abilities. What a legend. Surely, this allows me to change the score my Ball smells to around 144?"

Ghulam Mudassar to Yasir Shah, 1 run, yorker on off stump, it's dug out to cover and they sprint through for one. It's a really tight run, and de Villiers needs to dive to make his ground ... oh dear, this doesn't look good. De Villiers is down and has jarred his back. Something went as soon as he put in the dive. He turned over straight away, clutching his back. The physio sprints out, and AB is flat on his back, and in some discomfort. Remember, there's some history with his back. After some attention, he's sitting up again. Well, well, well, he'll continue.

Ghulam Mudassar to Yasir Shah, no run, tapped to point, but straight at the fielder - Rossouw, who fires in a throw at the stumps as Yasir walks out looking for a single

Abdur Rehman: "AB you have to accelerate now. What u r doing man & only there 3 petrol overs remaining. U have to win this game and alot of prayer for u and qalanderz" -- To be fair, it's not been an easy track to accelerate on. It's much drier and a little slower than yesterday's pitch

17.2

Ghulam Mudassar to Gauhar Ali, OUT, another wicket for the 19 year old! It's a superb yorker that does it. He sent the ball down cross-seamed, and beat Gauhar's attempted flick into the leg side, the ball striking the pad in front of middle and leg

Anwar Ali to de Villiers, 1 run, change of pace again, just 113km/h, AB waits for it and clubs a pull out to midwicket

zohaib: "Why Shaheen is rested at this stage? I think it is not yet time for LQ to rest his leading fast bowler. I am smelling easy chase anything under 180 by QG without him." -- These back to back games might have something to do with it

Anwar Ali to Gauhar Ali, 1 run, full, straight, and Gauhar finds another single off his pads - but again, it's just a single
