2.4 That's a bonus, and what an unfortunate way to get out! Tried a yorker that went awry, pushed away from leg-stump, he flirts it with it and tickles it to Perera who takes a lovely low catch to his right, doesn't bother with the review although showed some confusion. It was a lousy delivery and he admonishes himself, kicks the air in frustration. Shaheen gets his first and it's a big one 17/1

3.1 Thumped hard into the surface and zinging across off, loses his shape as he tries to hook it across the line, get a top-edge that balloons up and is taken brilliantly by Haris at short third, just like a few years ago, he tumbles again on his head and is in a spot of bother but didn't let the ball burst out of his hands, two big wickets in no time, the previous one was a controversial decision, didn't see any deflection on the replay but this is massive, Allen could have been very dangerous. Lahore right on top 21/2

6.2 Tossed up from around the wicket, touch fuller and wide of off, man with the golden arm who returned after national duties strikes in his first over, hurriedly swatted straight to Shaheen Afridi at short cover and he takes an absolute screamer, huge breakthrough, got a fine start but this is an untimely wicket for Quetta. Raza is over the moon, makes an impact straightaway, he is a match winner for Lahore, has been vital cog for them this season and in the prior ones too 58/3

17.5 Pace-off length-ish delivery at middle and leg, snaffled that while moving to his right, costly dismissal, could have done substantial damage had he hung around but he was getting fidgety from last few overs but nevertheless a spellbinding innings that too in a final, plenty of clean hits, batted through the tough phase, navigating through treacherous waters and putting his team in a good position, pouched at wide long on region fielder didn't have to move much, took a few steps in and gobbled it under his eyes, made it look very easy 172/6

12.5 Miscues the skier, one big shot too many, got a bit carried away 125/4

17.2 Tries to whack it out of the park and can't clear the rope. Taken by Azam, the substitute fielder at short midwicket, was in the air for a while. Full-toss on middle, bowled plenty of full-tosses but they have been well-directed, flexes his muscles and launches it in the air, late on the pull and taken by the fielder inside the ring, nice little useful cameo, Nawaz is still out there 171/5

19.6 Tries to pummel it again, idea is right but the execution not quite spot on, taken at deep midwicket but he has done his job 201/9

18.2 Stumps shattered, what a beautiful sight for the bowler. Mohammad Amir wanders the leg side and tries to uncoil a cut, ball nips back in and he gets a bottom-edge, chopping it back onto middle stump, the stump is uprooted, goes without troubling the scorers 173/7

18.3 Bowls a back of a length delivery angled into middle, backs away and larrups in the air and he has mistimed it, taken by Shaheen who has big bucket hands, reverse cups at his head height at mid-on, wickets continue to tumble 173/8

3.2 That looks very adjacent and given straightaway, lands it fuller on middle with slight turn, he tries to big ambitious sweep and didn't connect, not much doubt in there, walks off the field. It was a carrom ball, hits the back thigh, goes without saying, massive scalp 39/1

8.4 Massive moment in the game. Lands it short around the line off, slams a pull across the line and finds Avishka who hangs onto the catch brilliantly, running across deep square and getting underneath the ball well in time, wicket at a crucial juncture, was much-needed. Up goes the bowler's arm in celebration 85/2

12.3 Abrar takes a cool running catch at short third, down on knee for a slog sweep, challenged by the extra flight and had to wait for an eternity before playing his shot, top-edge to the fielder, big moment in the game; useful knock nevertheless 115/3

16.4 Almost into the blockhole, tailing into middle, scythes it away in the air and taken by Avishka at sweeper cover, he had to go, Rajapaksha tried an inside-out jab and it looked like a difficult shot to manufacture, the strike bowler does it again, gets a crucial breakthrough 145/4
