8.37 pm After a tame start, Imad transforms the innings with a career-best knock.
Here's Imad Wasim in his own words after walking off unbeaten: "It's been so long that I haven't performed with the bat. I've worked really hard on it and it paid off. We lost too many wickets so I went in at No. 5. That's my position in the tournament and I wanted to assess the conditions but when I saw the wicket, I knew we needed over 190 [to have a chance to defend]. We wanted to take it deep. We wanted to push ones and twos, hit strong shots and fortunately the shots I hit went for boundaries in the gaps. 200 is a decent score on this wicket. 200 on any wicket is 200. If you don't take wickets, it's hard to stop the batsmen. We need to bowl good lengths, good areas. There is some assistance if you bowl good length, not short of length but good length. I have been performing well all over the world for the last two years so I was very confident before the tournament but I haven't been batting that well so this was the first time I promoted myself and it paid off."
Stay with us for the start of the chase beginning shortly!
So the century for Imad isn't going to happen, barring a no ball or wide.
Rumman back for the final over.
