- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.3 arrghh, too much praise, wasn't it? An ugly hoick gets a leading edge. He lost his shape and it floats to Ali Khan at short third. 59 off 37 from Masood, really attractive innings 93/111.3 flighted, and he goes for the slog sweep. But it's toe ended, and it doesn't have the distance at all. Straight to deep midwicket. That's three swift wickets 108/311.1 flighted, full on off. It's the legbreak and he wants to hammer it over the bowler....but it's sliced, and taken easily by cover although this did go up a fair distance. 107/212.1 full on off. Goes for the sweep, and he's top edged this. Faheem at short fine leg runs towards square leg, and then dives full stretched to hold on to a tough one. More wickets tumble 110/417.1 full, in the slot outside off. Looks to tee this off over long off, but another shot's been sliced...and Wasim is among the wickets too. Easy take by Shadab running in from long off and Wasim earns a scalp thanks to his change of pace. Well disguised slower ball 137/616.6 good length, outside off. He swivels to slog to the leg side but it's been sliced in the air, and that's comfortable for Faheed to run forward to the pitch's left to take a catch off his own bowling 137/519.6 all out! And that's four for Wasim Full ball reeling into leg stump, and it's a 'you miss, I hit' ball to end the innings. United need 150 to win 149/1018.6 up in the air and the keeper grabs it easily. Good length on off. Tries to pull, but the bat's face is up, and therefore the shot goes into the night sky. But has Faheem overstepped? Too close to call....whatever the umpire decides there'll be some people unhappy. Given out 147/719.2 short ball, and he mistimes the attempted pull. Checked the shot so didn't generate 100& power.... and that's been pouched by Asif at deep square leg 148/819.5 full on off. Clears the front leg to hit it over long on, but it comes off the bat's outside half instead. Cover back tracks and takes a simpel catch. Slower ball forcing Muzarabani to miscue 149/9Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL149 all out (20 Overs, RR: 7.45)Fall of wickets: 1-93 (Shan Masood, 9.3 ov), 2-107 (Sohaib Maqsood, 11.1 ov), 3-108 (Mohammad Rizwan, 11.3 ov), 4-110 (Rilee Rossouw, 12.1 ov), 5-137 (Hammad Azam, 16.6 ov), 6-137 (Johnson Charles, 17.1 ov), 7-147 (Usman Qadir, 18.6 ov), 8-148 (Mohammad Umar, 19.2 ov), 9-149 (Blessing Muzarabani, 19.5 ov), 10-149 (Sohail Khan, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.5 another wicket for Dhani, but what a sensational catch from Mohammad Rizwan! Was a poor delivery, really, and looked for all the world as if he was going to tickle it down for four. But then Rizwan leaps across to his right and stuck out a mitt, taking an absolute worldie 58/24.2 he strikes, because of course Shahnawaz Dhani strikes! Went through the pull shot too early, and it's taken low at midwicket by Mohammad Umar 39/111.4 out first ball after the break! Full on middle and leg. Misses the flick, hits the pad and umpire says out! He reviews and although this jagged in quite sharply, it's going to clip leg stump. Umpire's call on impact on stumps and although Shadab has to go for 35, United keep their review 92/319.2 Dhani takes a great catch! Short ball, on leg. Swivels to pull, and he mistimes a flick that goes in the air. Fine leg runs in and slide across the ground, and is there a twist in here? Muzarabani delighted with Dahani's effort 147/615.6 full on middle. Down on one knee and he tries to clear on, but mistimed slog, and taken at deep midwicket after the ball comes down from orbit. Qadir wins that battle 133/417.3 through him! Good length ball on off, and that's zipped right through! King did not read that at all. Qadir enjoyed that! 140/5Extras6 (lb 2, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL150/6 (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.62)Fall of wickets: 1-39 (Muhammad Akhlaq, 4.2 ov), 2-58 (Umar Amin, 6.5 ov), 3-92 (Shadab Khan, 11.4 ov), 4-133 (Asif Ali, 15.6 ov), 5-140 (Brandon King, 17.3 ov), 6-147 (Hussain Talat, 19.2 ov)
