9.40pm Only four Quetta batsmen reached the double-digits and half of their side back in the pavilion by the end of the 11th over despite Chris Gayle scoring a 24-ball 39 from No. 3. Arshad Iqbal was the most successful bowler for Karachi, picking up 3 for 16, while Amir conceded just 14 from his four overs. Karachi will back themselves to chase down 122, but can Quetta pull off a surprise here? We will back shortly to find out. Stay tuned.

Waqas Maqsood to Qais Ahmad, OUT, a think edge to the wicketkeeper as Qais looks to swing it over deep midwicket. Was a length ball angling across and a good catch by Clarke, tumbling forward

Mohammad Amir to Naseem Shah, no run, Amir showing his full repertoire here. A slower length ball outside off, Naseem was late to spot it and ends up pushing it towards cover-point

Mohammad Amir to Naseem Shah, no run, a yorker from around the wicket, pushed towards extra cover

Mohammad Amir to Qais Ahmad, 1 run, fuller down the leg side, goes for the flick but ends up skying it towards midwicket. The fielder runs in from the deep but it lands well short

Mohammad Amir to Qais Ahmad, no run, short from Amir, and it hit the batsman on the helmet. Right on the badge. Amir is making an enquiry if Qais is alright. The physio is out, and, I guess, is carrying out the concussion protocols. Think the umpires are saying the helmet needs to be replaced but looks like he will continue in the same one

Sampath: Most wickets in Pakistan Super League: 76 - Wahab Riaz 59 - Hasan Ali 50 - Mohammad Amir Usman Shinwari's wicket was the 50th in PSL for Amir

Arshad Iqbal to Mohammad Hasnain, OUT, Arshad gets another. Was a length ball outside off, Hasnain looked to run it towards third man but ended up playing too fine. Into the wicketkeeper's gloves off the face of the bat

Arshad Iqbal to Mohammad Hasnain, no run, a bouncer this time and Hasnain bails out at the last moment
16.3
0
Arshad Iqbal to Mohammad Hasnain, no run, short of length at the batsman who fends it on the leg side. Qais wants a single but short midwicket moves across swiftly, collects and aims at the bowler's end. Qais dives but a direct-hit would have been interesting

Arshad Iqbal to Mohammad Hasnain, FOUR, length ball around off. Hasnain swings the bat, looking to go towards the leg side but it hits the outer half and speeds to the deep cover boundary
