11.46pm What a finish to this double header. Ian Bell's fifty got Islamabad United a score, but Pollard's own half century made it seem as if they hadn't got nearly enough. But the quicks who started so well also finished things off superbly, with young Musa picking up three wickets - including one with his final ball - before Sami ended the show with a hat-trick. He has one in ODIs, and one in Tests, and now he's got one in the PSL too. And on that breathless note, I'll call time on tonight's coverage. Thanks for tuning in everyone. More of the same tomorrow

ShehryarAhmed: "A standing ovation to abhijato"

Muhammad Kashif: "I'm sorry everyone. I dared question the crystal ball. I am truly ashamed. If you forgive me, can you please predict if there will any useful thing happening in my Chemistry class tomorrow?"

ShehryarAhmed: "Anyone selling a crystal ball? "

Rashid : "@Abhijato your crystal ball rolling on and on all over cricinfo. Do something for Windies to win today's match to keep things lively."

Mazhar Shehzaad: "Two PSL thrillers in a day. The quality of this tournament is just unmatched. One finished with a last ball six and one with a hattrick."

Abhijato: "A stunning comeback from Sri Lanka, then an outstanding Hetmeyer century, a classical innings only Ian Bell can play, an epic cameo from Pollard, and finally a Sami hat-trick to round it all off... It's been a lovely evening for me and my Crystal Ball. The latted still has that magical glow, one we experience when we see something magical before our eyes. It's been a lovely day of cricket, and it was a pleasure to be involved. Long live cricket, and cheers!"

Mohammad Sami to Hasan Ali, OUT, Sami wins the game with a hat-trick! Hasan had to go for it. The ball was right up to him, a little wide of off, and he swung mightily, but could only get it as far as Farhan at cover. The ball went high, but it didn't go far, and Sami is pumped!

Carey Over: "Surely, it's time to start the club after the demise of Riaz? All hail Abhijato, and kneel before the Crystal Ball!"

Mohammad Sami to Umaid Asif, OUT, big hit, straight, but not straight enough! Umaid has a go at his first ball, and he actually gets an excellent connection on it, but hits it straight down Faheem's throat at long off. He's on a hat-trick!

Mohammad Sami to Wahab Riaz, OUT, caught at cover! Or is it? It was a low full toss, outside off, and Riaz thumped it to cover, where Farhan was hovering. The ball dipped on him as it got close, but he timed his dive forward perfectly and holds a clean catch. The umpires want to have another look at the replay, but that just serves to confirm Riaz' demise

Wahab Riaz c Sahibzada Farhan b Mohammad Sami 20 (8b 1x4 2x6) SR: 250.00

Danish Wahab : "Thriller of a cricketing day..... SL vs SA..... two thriller PSL matches...... now windies getting any early wicket in to defend a par score "

Zunaib Ali: "it seems like Pathan-Undertaker is working"

Mohammad Sami to Wahab Riaz, SIX, he's hit it for six! Sami slips in a low full toss, but it's straight and Riaz dispatches it acres over wide long on. Game on!
