- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10 Quetta in a major quagmire here and Nawaz has brought himself back into the attack. Slower looping tempting delivery pitched on a length and he saw Usman advancing down the track and kept it away from his swinging arc, he is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and Umar Akmal quickly removes the zingers which brings an end to an outstanding innings from Usman, an all-time PSL classic. 120 off 43 laced with 12 fours and 9 sixes. Can you believe it? Have you been entertained? 157/114.3 Rizwan miscues the skier! Qais bowls a delicious googly and gets sufficient turn outside off, he goes down and tonks a slog sweep, got the elevation but not the distance, it stayed for an eternity in the night sky but the fielder was perfectly stationed for this, he locked his eyes on the ball and swallowed it up at deep midwicket 204/312.5 Oh, this is a massive breakthrough, gets the dangerous customer with a fullish delivery on sixth stump line, he shovels it straight to Nawaz at extra cover who pouches it safely, reverse cups it and now it's an opportunity for Quetta to apply some brakes on the scoring rate and bowl smartly at death 187/2Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL262/3 (20 Overs, RR: 13.1)Fall of wickets: 1-157 (Usman Khan, 10 ov), 2-187 (Rilee Rossouw, 12.5 ov), 3-204 (Mohammad Rizwan, 14.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 That's a tremendous riposte! Flummoxes Jason Roy with a beautifully disguised slower one on a fuller length, he tries to get underneath but cannot get the elevation and lobs it straight to Khushdil at silly mid-on region much to the delight of the bowler. Anwar is fired up, roars in jubilation! 14/14.3 Ihsanullah gets the big fish! That was a scorching thunderbolt on a length and plugging away in the corridor, Guptill had a jab at it and nicked it through to the keeper who makes no mistakes. Pace is pace yaar! 60/215.1 Rapid delivery on a shortish length, angled in and straightening down the line middle, Omair Yousuf depats after making 67, miscued the skier to deep midwicket and Usman, the centurion, hangs onto it brilliantly. Wickets are tumbling as the asking rate soars through the roof 178/55.1 Not timed well and another one bites the dust! Hafeez stepped down the track and had to adjust his shot, lost his shape while coming down the track and gets the splice of the bat, easy catch for the man at extra cover, cool as a cucumber underneath the skier and the elder statesman is taking the long walk back into the pavilion. The lecture ended much earlier than Quetta would have liked. 68/314.4 Abbas who took four wickets in the run-fest last night gets the settled man out of the equation, pace off the ball and bangs it into the pitch outside off, Masood at deep midwicket made quick ground and takes a superb running catch. 172/418.1 Afridi on a hattrick and he gets it! That's the first PSL 8 hattrick and the young tearaway quick richly deserved it, spears in a supernova on a hard length and induces a false shot, it's a massive wicket, Akmal was looking threatening. Tim David takes a sprawling catch at long-off 221/816.5 Nawaz goes after a brief cameo, mistimes the chip to Pollard at long-off, slower delivery does the trick again. Man with the golden arm keeps finding ways to pick wickets 208/616.6 Pollard in business again as the mistimed shot from Umaid Asif goes straight into his bucket hands, makes no mistake. This was in the slot and there is no other option for Quetta than to whack, just didn't get underneath and couldn't clear the fence. 208/7Extras11 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL253/8 (20 Overs, RR: 12.65)Did not bat: Aimal KhanFall of wickets: 1-14 (Jason Roy, 1.4 ov), 2-60 (Martin Guptill, 4.3 ov), 3-68 (Mohammad Hafeez, 5.1 ov), 4-172 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 14.4 ov), 5-178 (Omair Yousuf, 15.1 ov), 6-208 (Mohammad Nawaz, 16.5 ov), 7-208 (Umaid Asif, 16.6 ov), 8-221 (Umar Akmal, 18.1 ov)
