8.48 pm Zalmi were running away with the match in the first 10 overs with 98 runs, but only 73 come in the last 10 overs after Rashid Khan sparked a fightback with the ball. Mohammad Haris says at the innings break that he feels this was a 145 par wicket and they've got more than enough. We'll see how true that turns out to be. Will it be a rematch between Qalandars and Sultans in the final? Or can Zalmi get there? Stay with us for the start of the chase shortly.

Zaman Khan to Haseebullah Khan, 1 run, length ball wide outside off, slices this to deep third man for one.
For those who watch these things, every time there's a side-on replay at the bowlers crease to check for a front foot no-ball, Rajapaksa is typically a full yard or more leaving the crease early at the non-striker's end. Every single ball.

Haris Rauf to Rajapaksa, 2 runs, length ball angled into the legs from around the wicket, top edged flick swirls between short fine leg and deep backward square leg. The fielder at short fine leg Mirza Baig gets into an awful tangle running backward and winds up overrunning the ball, never getting a hand to it while also having to avoid a collision with Rashid coming around from the rope. It lands safely for runs.

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Mohammad Haris, OUT, what on earth kind of shot and sequence is this?! Waist high full toss on middle stump, tries to scoop this over fine leg and it sails a mile high to deep fine leg. But he's got more height than distance on this and it hangs up in the air for the fielder on the rope to circle around for a catch just inside the rope crouching on his knees. Third umpire checking for a no ball on height. It's been given legal on field and stays that way.
