That's it from us here. See you again tomorrow! Thanks for joining us.

"We have depth in our batting and we want to utilise that," says Shadab. "We have a method to how we play. It can go wrong. Somtimes we can get all out for 100, but all of us are on the same page.. Me not batting was part of the plan. Asif didn't bat highly enough and didn't get many runs last time. This time I thought it was good to give him and others confidence by sending them above me."

"Very nice to get the win," says Munro, who's man of the match. "It's easy to be timid and iffy, but when you're aggressive and get out that's not a problem. Credit to Shadab and the management who've created a beautiful team environment." Gives Nawaz a shout-out, who he says has done brilliantly in the KPL.

"We didn't bowl well. We didn't execute the plan, and we didn't hit our areas. We either bowled too full or too short. We didn't field well, either. But credit to the other team, they played very well," says Imad Wasim.

"I should have finished the game but I'm happy we won," says Azam Khan. "The 100 in the BPL helped because when you start middling the ball, it gives you confidence. I have a different role with IU. Sometimes I play as a floater, and sometimes as a finsiher"

Shayaan : "Rumman Raees after all those years and all those injuries still nailing those yorkers. One can wonder what his career could've been without those injuries."

Afeef: "In the last 6 months, I've seen 2 star-studded teams finish last in their respective leagues (TKR in the CPL, MICT in the SA20). Let's hope Islamabad United don't have the same fate."

8.39pm Could have been so much better for Kings, but then could have been so much worse for them. They lost James Vince in the first over, but Sharjeel and Haider stitched a 77-run stand off 56 balls to take them forward. Sharjeel fell but it was a welcome return to form for Haider who struck a fifty off 38 balls. However, a flurry of wickets pushed Kings back. In the end a few timely hits got them over the 170-mark. Raees was excellent for United picking 2 for 26 off his four overs, while Waseem and Curran also got two wickets apiece. Can United chase this down? Join us in a bit to find out.

Mohammad Waseem: The wicket was slow at the start, but later the conditions changed. There is dew, and I think we can easily chase this. Our batting is very good and I think with the dew this will be a very easy chase. Our bowling coach just asks us to bowl to our strengths. Not an easy job to be a bowler.

Rumman Raees to Fuller, 2 runs, Gets two off the final ball, and Kings gets 173 for 7! Very full on off, he can only drag it to long on. They had to go for it, and a poor throw means they make it easily.
