01:00A few games into the league.
01:04The Edition 10.
01:04Islamabad United winning all three games.
01:06Sitting comfortable on top.
01:08It is the middle of the table.
01:09A clash.
01:10Quetta Gladiators and Karachi King both tied on points.
01:13They get into it.
01:15Both coming off a loss from the similar side as well.
01:17Lahore Kalandas who sit pretty at two.
01:21And teams arrived.
01:22Let's have a look at the home side.
01:24Their dressing room.
01:25New coach.
01:26Captain.
01:27New looking kit as well.
01:29One win.
01:29One loss.
01:30Is their track record coming into the side.
01:32Coming into this game.
01:34And they will hope that the Kings can turn it around.
01:38And they can turn it around against an opposition.
01:41And they did not enjoy a record against.
01:44And the Quetta Gladiators have had the better of the Karachi Kings.
01:47As they make their way first time here in Karachi.
01:51The toss went in favor of David Warner.
01:54The captain of the Karachi Kings.
01:56Who was elected to have a bat first.
02:00Four changes.
02:03Desperate measures.
02:04We will have to wait and see.
02:05Because David Warner will be hoping that he can go in and get among the runs.
02:10In comes Muhammad Nabi.
02:11Ahmed Jamal.
02:12Meir Hamza.
02:13And Muhammad Riazullah.
02:15The youngster that are emerging.
02:16Who has been very successful in that under 19.
02:20Asia Cup especially.
02:22Well the Quetta Gladiators.
02:24Yeah they've got three changes as well.
02:27So quite a few changes in this game.
02:28Certainly looking at the surface.
02:30What do they need?
02:31What are the resources that they need?
02:33The Vr.
02:34Abber.
02:35Is certainly the man they're going to turn to with the ball in hand.
02:39So he's going to be an exciting prospect in this match.
02:50Five seconds away from the start of the game here.
03:03Muhammad Amir with the ball.
03:04One slip.
03:05Ringo Field is both on the offside and nextside.
03:08He does have deep backwards square on the boundary.
03:10And Paul Rifle says play.
03:26He flicked his off his pads and flicks it away for four.
03:30Karachi Kings batters in Tim Seifert up and running with the boundary.
03:33Tim Seifert he's been in decent touch of late.
03:37And he pounces that opportunity for the first boundary of the innings.
03:40And Tim Seifert gets the better of him.
03:46Picks it up.
03:47Picks it over mid-wicket.
03:48Ends the over with the boundary.
03:54Through the offside.
03:55Just opens it up slightly.
03:57David Warner picks up four.
03:59A very well crafted boundary.
04:04A juicy full toss.
04:06And gets the treatment.
04:08All too easy.
04:08Ali Majid struggling slightly.
04:20A little bit of a punch off the back foot.
04:24Fielder in pursuit.
04:26And eventually trickles into the fence.
04:29And Sean Abbott with the chase.
04:31Muhammad Amir disappointed.
04:37Up and over.
04:38Up and over the bowler.
04:39The best place to go.
04:41It was full.
04:42And it was hit back with power.
04:44Allows the arms to come through.
04:46Great execution.
04:51Smacks it.
04:52And smacks it through the offside.
04:54He will also pick up back-to-back boundaries.
04:5750 partnership.
04:58Just in the 31 deliveries.
04:59Over the top.
05:06And that's gone for four.
05:07That's a lovely shot.
05:08Great connection from Seiferts.
05:10He's unleashing now.
05:12Absolutely.
05:12What a brilliant start back Arachie Kings.
05:14Without any risk whatsoever.
05:1655 for none.
05:17See how much he changed this game.
05:20Now he's dragged leg side.
05:22That's a terrific shot as well.
05:24So they are two wonderful strokes.
05:26Right at the start of the spell.
05:28He's the second one.
05:29Picked up the quicker one.
05:32Towards Carl Koaner.
05:33And Tim is in great form.
05:37Catch up in the air.
05:38And yes.
05:39They've got the breakthrough.
05:40The danger man.
05:41Vahe Masha of the fielder.
05:43At short square leg.
05:46Very annoyed David Warner.
05:48He was watching Seifert play absolutely brilliantly.
05:52And this one took a little bit of extra time to get to him.
05:56High on the bat.
05:59Comfortably taken.
06:01Warner goes for 31.
06:0260 for one.
06:06Bowled him.
06:07Just enough.
06:08That is special.
06:09That is a wonderful delivery.
06:12Just gone past that.
06:13So it is.
06:13And it's hit that off stump hard.
06:15Beautifully bowled.
06:18The first ball.
06:20Just straight.
06:21Turned up.
06:22Maybe a hint of turn.
06:23He played it inside.
06:25A little turn.
06:26Off stump gone.
06:27Classic bowling.
06:29From South Shaquille.
06:31Burrachi now 62 for two.
06:35Bowled him.
06:36Had to do something different.
06:38That is a big wicket.
06:40Stare down as well.
06:41They are doing beautifully now.
06:43The Gladiators.
06:45Butterflies.
06:46Under pressure.
06:47Missed the straighter one.
06:48Bowled cleverly.
06:49Bowled quicker.
06:49Ofston gone.
06:52He was exposed to his stumps obviously.
06:55Ali Majid gets his first wicket.
06:57Riazullah departs for six.
06:59Karachi now 79 for three.
07:01Boundary is drying up.
07:06So James Wins decides to change it.
07:09Decides to take the bowler on and hits him for a great six over long on.
07:14James Wins he certainly comes to the party for the KFC power hit.
07:18Oh he's bowled in.
07:23You saw it in the previous over as well.
07:25Trying to use the pace.
07:27A big wicket as well in the context of the game.
07:30Khushdil Shah has been in really good form with the bat.
07:34He follows him as he gives himself room and it's been chopped on off the front leg.
07:39Khushdil Shah goes for one.
07:40Karachi now four down for 91.
07:42Yeah a great shot.
07:47Great shot.
07:48Gets the length.
07:50Does James Wins.
07:52And it's the first boundary.
07:54And 23 balls.
08:01What a strike.
08:03What a magnificent strike that is from Irfan Khan Niazi.
08:07Ablauded by the dugout and the crowd both.
08:09Is this the moment of the change of momentum or Karachi Kings.
08:15He persists at that wider length does for him.
08:18Certainly James Wins couldn't get it off to the boundary.
08:20But on this occasion Niazi.
08:22He goes for a maximum.
08:28Adjust away.
08:29Adjust away from Riley Rousseau.
08:32Diving to his right.
08:33Ends the over in a boundary.
08:35A big one.
08:37Niazi on strike at the moment.
08:38Picked that one up.
08:40It's crunched that straight to the fielder.
08:44Finn Allen's the catcher.
08:46You jinx them.
08:48Mike Heisman.
08:49They were going so smoothly.
08:51Last over was.
08:52He wanted to go more straighter.
08:55Bottom hand comes into play and easy catch.
08:57Comfortable catch.
08:59By Finn out of mid on.
09:01Niazi gone for 17.
09:03It's 1-2-5 for Piper.
09:10Little bit of width.
09:11It's nicely played.
09:12Need a boundary on the over and they've got it.
09:14That's a really good shot.
09:16Much needed boundary for Karachi Kings.
09:18A man in form.
09:20James Wins.
09:20Short delivery.
09:23Waited for that.
09:24He's got that away as well.
09:25Comfortably.
09:26Easily.
09:27Four runs.
09:28Back to back boundaries.
09:31A change of field now.
09:32Midoff is up in the circle.
09:33Fine leg gone back.
09:37Pulled in the gap.
09:38And that's his 50 as well.
09:40James Wins.
09:41That's his 15th HPL PSL to go with the century just in the first game.
09:49Yeah, this is a top knock.
09:50I thought his century was magnificent.
09:51This has been a really important knock at exactly the right time.
09:5436 balls.
09:58Slice that away.
10:00He'll be thinking in his mind, I can't give a boundary away.
10:03Well, he's just done that now with ball number four on the over.
10:06A little bit of width.
10:07Got the treatment.
10:11Opening the blade.
10:14Squeezing it.
10:15Brilliant.
10:16Now they've got some runs at the end.
10:1813 off the over.
10:19162 for five.
10:23Mohamed Amir gives some width.
10:26And the length is wrong.
10:27It's been peppered for six.
10:29That's a wonderful shot and a great start at the over for Karachi.
10:41Oh, he's cracked that.
10:42That's gone.
10:43That's disappeared.
10:44That's two in a row.
10:45That's outstanding stuff.
10:49Mohamed Amir is having terrible time.
10:51So much good work in the middle overs.
10:54It's going waste now.
10:59It's gone again.
11:00How far has it gone?
11:02Oh, it's a very, very good catch.
11:05Finn Allen.
11:07Outstanding work from him.
11:09Great awareness.
11:12This catch is taken inside the field of play.
11:16Roll further.
11:17Roll further.
11:18Yeah, he threw the ball in the air.
11:19Went outside.
11:21Yeah, came back in.
11:22And taken it fairly.
11:24I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen.
11:25Brilliant stuff.
11:30Nice to watch that.
11:33Navi gone for 18.
11:341, 7, 4 for 6.
11:37Last ball.
11:40Short it is.
11:41Top edge.
11:42Might be out.
11:43Should be out.
11:45And is out.
11:47So that's quite amazing in the end.
11:49Two sixes at the first two deliveries.
11:51And then only one run.
11:54In the last four.
11:55For just two wickets as well.
11:59175 for seven is where they finish the Karachi Kings.
12:03I think you're right.
12:03That change and we'll be happy.
12:05Now a very teasing kind of total.
12:07175.
12:08They had patches where they played really well.
12:10They started off really well.
12:12Wins stayed out there.
12:13And they finished really well.
12:1418 from Navi of 12.
12:16Deliveries towards two sixes.
12:17I think might make a difference.
12:20We look at the bowlers.
12:21Amir, two for 42.
12:23Alemujir, two for 39.
12:24Really good work from him.
12:25Abbott, good stuff.
12:26He had a bowl of tough time as well.
12:28Abra was impressive, particularly at the top.
12:31And such a kill.
12:32Three overs.
12:33One for 20.
12:33Terrific delivery to get rid of Tim Seifert.
12:36Fahim got some treatment.
12:39We're going to have a good game, I'm sure.
12:41A really good game.
12:42In match number eight, the Quetta Gladiators need 176 runs.
12:45They've got to go at 8.8 runs and over.
12:48We know the starts are so important.
12:50This is certainly going to be worth watching this one.
12:52That's for sure.
12:52I'm being joined by Arthur Ali Khan and Vakar Yunus with that first ball of the Gladiators' innings.
13:07Beautiful shot.
13:20Didn't try to overheat it.
13:22Just a pure timing.
13:24And made sure that he shows the full face of the bat.
13:26Yeah, it's just a touch full.
13:32A little bit too full in the slot.
13:35Beautifully played.
13:36Down the ground.
13:37Such a lovely shot to watch.
13:43Again full of chance here.
13:45Chance here.
13:45Oh, second attempt gone.
13:48Mormon Nabi takes the catch.
13:50You're going to see the back of Alan.
13:53Third man was brought in after that.
13:57And this was a third variation from Mir Hamza.
14:01First one came in, went for six.
14:03Other one swung away.
14:04Third one, a slow delivery.
14:06He's using all his experience.
14:09That's why I was saying it.
14:11This is going to be a real good matchup.
14:14And Hamza comes on top.
14:16Finn Allen gone for six.
14:17Big wicket gone now.
14:198-4-1.
14:20Asan Ali from the University road end with his first over.
14:25It's taken.
14:26It's taken.
14:27Khushnil Shah takes the catch.
14:30What a way to start and over.
14:32What a way.
14:33Karachi Kings grabbing two in the power play.
14:35He's a left-hander.
14:37Khushnil Shah.
14:39But it is always hard.
14:41Very tough.
14:42Very difficult.
14:43To go to your left when there is a wicket keeper there.
14:47He kept his eyes on the ball.
14:49Beautiful delivery.
14:50Hasan Ali keeping his form going.
14:52Had to dive onto his left.
14:54Two gone now.
14:55Nawaz come and go on for one.
14:58Nine for two.
15:04Driven.
15:05Beautiful shot from the captain's bat.
15:07In where they had to.
15:15Boundary here.
15:16Room there from Hasan Ali.
15:18And Mendes took the invitation and played it over the top for four.
15:23Doesn't time it as well.
15:30But this outfield is so quick.
15:32They've given up.
15:33Yes.
15:35Two overs gone.
15:3623-4-2.
15:38And the attack.
15:45And it works.
15:46Meet the ball early.
15:48And get rid of the swing that's coming in.
15:53Yeah.
15:54He tried to heal that swing.
15:56Whatever he was there.
15:58By just using his feet.
16:00And making sure that the ball doesn't get enough time.
16:02To move off the surface.
16:04And then dealing it beautifully.
16:08Straight into the hands.
16:12Hasan is doing no wrong today.
16:16He's been wonderful with the ball.
16:18Picking a wicket early.
16:20Yeah.
16:21What about Mohamed Nabi?
16:23Short delivery.
16:23He could have hit it anywhere he wanted to.
16:26When he finds the fielder.
16:29Mitchell Mendes gone for 12.
16:30Voighter.
16:31In the spot of bola.
16:3234 for 3.
16:33That's going.
16:38That's gone.
16:40That's catching practice.
16:41Straight to the man at third.
16:43Hasan gets his second.
16:44Quetta.
16:45Is four down.
16:47That's again not a good shot.
16:49The rising delivery.
16:50It was again smart balling from Hasan Ali.
16:53Bold.
16:54Nice and full few deliveries.
16:56And then testing a youngster who likes to play hook shot and a pull shot.
17:01But this time he decided he's going to just play that ramp shot.
17:05But played it straight to the man.
17:0836 for 4.
17:09Young Nafé gone for 1.
17:10Rousseau is a very fine player.
17:13Big hitter when he gets going.
17:15Oh he's got a bit of a top edge on that one.
17:17Is he in trouble?
17:18He is in trouble.
17:19It's a great catch.
17:20And it's a superb catch.
17:23Yeah you felt that this was coming from Raleigh Rousseau.
17:26Doesn't necessarily take too many balls to get in.
17:29Likes to get on with it.
17:31And I spoke about how Mohamed loves a left hander.
17:35And opportunity was given and taken beautifully in the outfield.
17:41In the power of power play they've lost their 5th wicket.
17:44Or 37.
17:49It's gone high on him and it's out.
17:52Couldn't control that.
17:53Abbas into the attack.
17:56And he's picked up a wicket in his first over.
17:58Amir Jamal again.
18:03And persisting with the shorter deliveries.
18:05Doesn't quite get hold of it.
18:07Now the comfortable catch in the end.
18:10It's been a good building performance from Karachi as well.
18:13They lose their 6 for 47.
18:16Usher up he goes for 3.
18:20Oh.
18:21It's kept a little bit low and it's gone through Seifert's legs as well.
18:25There was some way away from the off-stamp.
18:26So there's some bonus runs.
18:28We spoke earlier about boundaries needed for Quetta.
18:32It doesn't matter how they come.
18:35Good Yorker.
18:39Good Yorker.
18:40Oh he's giving it.
18:41It's bad first.
18:43What does the batter feel?
18:44He wants to go upstairs.
18:45Well unless he's got some bat on it.
18:49I think it's pretty adjacent.
18:56Origin to see on out.
18:59Pitching outside off.
19:00Impact in line.
19:01Wickets umpire's call.
19:02Stay with your origin to see on Tariq.
19:04Stand by.
19:05But the umpire's call stands.
19:10It is out.
19:11Back leg.
19:11Clipping leg.
19:13That's the way to give it.
19:1457 for 7.
19:16Quetta gladiators.
19:18Tense moments out there.
19:20Sean Abbott goes for 3.
19:24Down on one knee and he'll probably get a boundary.
19:28Yes he does.
19:29One bounce.
19:31Vishnil Shah into his 4th over.
19:33He's only conceded.
19:3416 now make it 22.
19:37Because that's gone into the crowd.
19:39Beautiful hit.
19:40Use of the feet.
19:41Got to the pitch and then played his favourite shot.
19:44That slug sweep.
19:49This might be.
19:50This might be out.
19:51This might be inside.
19:53Might be.
19:54No.
19:54Just clearing the boundary for 6.
19:58Expensive over.
19:5918 off it.
20:0085 for 7.
20:04Arsenal.
20:06Short delivery.
20:07Top heads.
20:07That's going to run away.
20:08Pretty smartly for boundary.
20:09Good way to start the over.
20:17Backing away.
20:17Give yourself some room.
20:19He's slapped that one over the top for 6.
20:22Good connection.
20:23Nicely played.
20:26And that also brings up 100 for Quetta gladiators.
20:30Amir is on the 30 of just 15 delivery.
20:34Striking of 200 with three sixes and two fours.
20:39That was his third six.
20:40Gave himself room.
20:42And that's where exactly he wanted him to bowl.
20:44Oh, that's bowled him.
20:50Too far across this time.
20:52Hit that leg stump hard.
20:54He's happy to do that.
20:56That's for sure.
20:57Amir Jamal.
20:58Tried his best.
20:59Looked good.
21:01For a while.
21:02Slow ball.
21:04Exposed the stumps.
21:05Leg stump gone.
21:06Cleverly bowled.
21:08Got his first wicket.
21:09Jamal.
21:10Amir to pass for 30.
21:11100 for 8 Quetta.
21:15Oh, it's bottom edge.
21:16Gone past the keeper.
21:18And that's raced away for a boundary.
21:20107 for 8.
21:27Gold him.
21:28He's got himself another wicket.
21:29He said he was going to get three to Aaron in the build-up today.
21:32He's now got his three.
21:34And knocked the pole out of the ground.
21:36Absolutely.
21:36I see that the cake was he was imitating Ibrard's celebration after getting him out.
21:44Didn't pick it up.
21:45Leg stump gone.
21:47Would love to see his celebration in slow motion.
21:50Here we go.
21:51Let's have a look.
21:52They called him.
21:57Ibrard goes for 5.
21:58Quetta struggling big time.
22:00110 for 9.
22:01It's got that way for a boundary.
22:12Split the gap perfectly.
22:16We've got one ball left in the game.
22:17Digs it out.
22:22No run.
22:23And David Warner is going to be pleased.
