Ibrahim: "Azam Khan and Asif to finish this off in style. Let's go, Islamabad!"

Salal SS: "PZ must be a bit disappointed to have put 15-20 runs less on the board, but still the scale tips in their favor, as IU is sans of the core players." That's right. Their approach will be interesting to see.

muhayam: "15 to 25 runs short? momentum with united?" Peshawar got 15-25 extra in the first ten. So it might have evened out, but they should have gotten more.

Uzair: "Did Islamabad bowl bad or the pitch is just too good?" The pitch is decent for strokeplay but Haris took it away and the bowlers looked overwhelmed. They came back better though. It looks like a track where the new ball will come on better and suit the batting. But can Islamabad do it with a weakened batting line-up is the question.

9:29 pm Peshawar get over 200 but that might have been at least 20 fewer than what they were on track for even after 17 overs. 22 came off the last three but the damage was done upfront. Haris hit it to all parts, Yasir and Shoaib kept the innings moving along in the latter half of the innings. Islamabad took almost two overs to bowl their quota. Dawson was good and the second ten overs were better for Islamabad as the bowlers changed their pace and took wickets. Have they pulled it back to give their batters a chance or has the target slipped out of their reach? We'll find out in the second innings, which starts soon.
