Right, this has been lots of fun, especially since we got to see a trend bucked. Thanks a lot for sticking with us, and catch you in the next game.
Qais Ahmed's 3/21 gets him the Player of the Match award. "We need to improve in the field. We give at least 10-15 runs away in the field, and that's a huge amount of runs in T20 cricket," Rizwan says. "We're struggling to build partnerships in the middle order, but Qais and Nawaz bolwed brilliantly and stifled our momentum. I'm in a bit of pain, and we're awaiting X-Rays on my foot. Hopefully it's all good."
Hasnain's bromance with Steyn continues, talking about how much he's learning from him. He talks about how he asked Steyn to bowl a bouncer at Dhani's head, because the Multan bowler fears the short delivery. Tongue firmly in cheek, though
Sarfaraz is hugged by Azam Khan, Dhani and Steyn share a laugh and a cuddle, Hasnain smiles that sweet smile of this, Sarfaraz has a joke with Dhani. Lovely spirit this match ends in.
One was a run-out! But I was wrong, clearly

8.42pm: That was a lot of fun, especially with Dhani bowling some real heat at the end but not always finding the right length. A few of you have pointed out that he's currently down as RMF which I agree is incredibly harsh - will have a word with the scorers! Superb start for Quetta thanks to T20 debutant Usman Khan, racing to 89 for 1 at the halfway stage. They lost impetus through the middle, with Faf du Plessis particularly culpable, but a couple of handy cameos from Azam Khan and Mohammad Nawaz dragged them up to 176. Is this finally the night that we see a total defended in PSL6? Join us shortly to find out...

Last ball
Final over. Quetta desperate to scrap up towards 175 or thereabouts, but it's a long way short of what they might have got...
Amin: "Man. Dhani's reactions are super refreshing. Like the joys of a kid when they get a new toy."

Adnan: "@kamran, how can you forget Shaheen?"
Haroon: "How horrendous of you to say just to include a liability Rizwan should not keep . While keeping he will miss important chances and the game would be gone. It's ok to support someone but you ruin the team for him is not cool " -- Horrendous? I'm only a ball-by-ball commentator mate, not a Pakistan selector!
Kamran Ashraf: "Really nice to see Pakistan producing many 150 kmph bowlers. Hasnain, Dahani, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah all can click 150!!!"
Sohail to bowl the 19th. Qais is the new batsman, at the non-striker's end. Round the wicket

Hamza: "Go Azam Go ... Go Azam Go ..."
Nauman: "Azam Khan is a liability in the field, slow to move, can't dive. There is no way he can even be considered seriously with his current "frame"" -- Stick him behind the stumps and let Rizwan do the hard yards on the boundary!
Shahnawaz Dhani has two overs left. Will he bowl the 20th as well? Here he is for the 18th as Quetta look to push up towards 175

Malli: "Matt seems to be the biggest fan of Azam khan in this world" -- Ha! Got to love a young power-hitter, Malli
Ritesh: "16.2 that reminded of certain Moin Khan.."
Hammad: "This boundary from Azam Khan so much reminded me of his dad"
