- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Hoodwinks Baig with a cracking delivery that pitched on a length and jagged back viciously to rattle the top of middle stump, Baig tried to smash that over midwicket but ended up making a mess of his stumps! 7/117.6 Spoons it straight to Rajapaksa at cover but he has done his work! Take a bow, fantastic 96* that has put Qalandars in a very storng position and looks like they have got an impregnable score on the board. He tried to chip this over extra cover but couldn't get the elevation and power behind this shot 215/312.6 One big shot too many! A bit short and wide of off, he couldn't control this slap through the off side and Neesham came charging in from the boundary at deep backward point and pouches it safely and an entertaining knock comes to an end! 127/2Extras10 (b 2, w 8)TOTAL241/3 (20 Overs, RR: 12.05)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Mirza Baig, 1.3 ov), 2-127 (Abdullah Shafique, 12.6 ov), 3-215 (Fakhar Zaman, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Disturbs the furniture! Nails a perfect yorker on off and it nipped back a bit and sounded the death rattle. That was a very short stay on the crease and the worst possible start from Zalmi as Shaheen celebrates, arms aloft and he is absolutely ecstatic, dream start for Qalandars 0/12.5 That's a corker of a delivery, pitched on middle and nipped back viciously to sound the death rattle, too good for a Babar! 28/211.1 Abdullah Shafique takes a screamer! It came off the bottom of the bat as Rashid Khan has the last laugh, just couldn't get the elevation and distance on this occasion. Big wicket! 127/410.1 Slower one hoodwinks Cadmore! Just flays his bat out and Shaheen at mid-off gobbled it up gleefully, this is a massive breakthrough, just went the partnership was building up and looking ominous, Haris has induces a false stroke 119/315.2 Holes out to long-on! It wasn't a convincing shot just feeling for it and chips it straight to Wiese who didn't have to move a muscle. Pitched on middle and this time he didn't get underneath it 166/515.5 Knocked him over! Off-stump sent packing, undone by the slowness of the delivery, a beautifully disguised cutter and he wanted to slog that out of the park butwas too early into the shot 171/618.5 There you go, Shaheen picks up a sensational fifer! Back of a length, nibbling away in the corridor, he wafts and edges it through to the keeper. What a fine spell this has been from Qalandar's captain, he has led from the front, he hasn't allowed them to get off the hook in the last few overs and picked wickets at will 200/916.2 Fakhar Zaman has taken a blinder! What an incredible snare from Fakhar, he is backtracking and the ball was swirling away from him but he kept his eyes locked on the ball and timed the dive well to grab at extra cover region as Wahab Riaz miscues the skier 173/718.2 Stumps uprooted! You miss, I hit! Fires in a thunderbolt on a length on off stump line and Shaheen produces magic again on the same venue where he lifted the maiden PSL title last year. Can he get a fifer? 193/8Extras14 (lb 1, w 13)TOTAL201/9 (20 Overs, RR: 10.05)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Mohammad Haris, 0.2 ov), 2-28 (Babar Azam, 2.5 ov), 3-119 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 10.1 ov), 4-127 (Saim Ayub, 11.1 ov), 5-166 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 15.2 ov), 6-171 (Rovman Powell, 15.5 ov), 7-173 (Wahab Riaz, 16.2 ov), 8-193 (Saad Masood, 18.2 ov), 9-200 (James Neesham, 18.5 ov)
