Good effort by Khushdil in the end, but will that be enough? Find out in ten, as Shashank brings you the chase.
Ram: "Babaz Azam is the captain in all 3 formats for Pakistan, but in PSL, he is not. How does that work? Was there any reason behind this decision? (Apologies, if this was already answered. I'm genuinely very curious!)" --- Not quite a given that you get franchise captaincy despite you being the national captain. There may be other equally good names around.
laks: "pretty ordinary over there from M.Amir" --- Why he went short after nailing those yorkers is a mystery.
6.45pm That's it then. The Sultans looked set for at least 200, but it took them 19 runs off the final over to get to 176 eventually. Scoring wasn't easy on this slow pitch, with the ball coming late and the bowlers - particularly Perera, whose one over turned it around - utilising slower balls to good effect.
Last over coming up now. 175 anyone?

Kapil Baldawa: "I don't know what these guys are waiting for? Anything less than 170 would be really poor after that start in 10 overs" --- It's been accurate bowling of late, to be honest. Yorkers have landed bang on target.

Isaac Marshall: "Would have kept Thisara going tbh. Really don't think it would have been biting off more than you could chew, he should definitely finish it off. Anything under 10 would probably be an improvement on what Arshad or Waqas would give away today."
Amir is back. Over the wicket

सारंग धर: "Don't you have Hindi commentary for PSL? We enjoyed it a lot during the IPL. Thank you for this initiative ESPNCricinfo" --- Thank you, Sarang. And here it is.
