01:00Still plenty on the go with these two teams right at the very top.
01:03It's all about the sharp end of this tournament.
01:06Now, Islamabad United, they've got to make sure they start playing well.
01:10They've now lost three in a row after winning five consecutively.
01:14They had a week off.
01:15They then made some changes.
01:17Maybe they were then rusty in that week.
01:19I don't know, but they suddenly went downhill.
01:21Gladiators, by the way, have been different.
01:23They've won their last four completed matches in a row.
01:25So they're in form.
01:27And these two teams had a thriller four days ago, which is a game that Quetta chased 15 off the last over.
01:33And there were three catches put down as well, just to throw some further salt into the wound.
01:37Now, Islamabad, they're at number two at the moment.
01:40They need just one point to qualify.
01:43And Quetta have already qualified the playoffs.
01:45And they're aiming to win one of these remaining two games to finish in the top two.
01:49The toss was won by Islamabad United.
01:52And they decided to bowl first, which is quite interesting.
01:55The last five matches in Pindia have been won by the team batting first.
01:58So there's a little change.
02:00Teams here.
02:00Now, I've got Waka Yunus alongside me.
02:02Waka, take it away.
02:04Good evening, Mike.
02:05Good evening, viewers.
02:06Yeah, Quetta Gladiators on the high.
02:09They won their last three games in Lahore.
02:13And they're playing the same team.
02:15They just made two changes.
02:17Very balanced side and in-form team.
02:20Okay, Martin Guptill's upper as well.
02:21Marty, take it away as well.
02:23Yeah, contrary to Quetta, Islamabad have been on a bit of a losing streak.
02:27And they've got three changes today.
02:28Imad Wazim back in, Ben Dwashis back in, Asim Khan also back in.
02:33And Colin Munro out tonight.
02:35Also, Andreas House and Salmaner Shah sitting this one out.
02:38But everybody else the same.
02:40They look a well-balanced team and will need to turn their fortunes around tonight
02:43to get back into winning ways.
02:44Righto, ready to go for match number 26.
03:02What a beautiful night for cricket.
03:06Here we go.
03:07Imad Wazim.
03:07Here we'll just get that ball sliding across the left-hander.
03:15Good connection.
03:17And that's away.
03:18Four runs.
03:19Great connection.
03:19Second ball of the game.
03:22Great start for Quetta that.
03:24Looking for that shape across Salchakil again there.
03:26Just slightly over-pitching this time.
03:29Imad Wazim.
03:29As we see there.
03:31Just floats out a bit much.
03:34Open the blade that time.
03:36Has he got it through?
03:36Yeah, I think he has.
03:37Big Jace.
03:38Is he going to get the dive in?
03:39No, he's not.
03:42Four runs again.
03:43Back-to-back boundaries.
03:44Jason Holder.
03:45Well, he was just coasting alongside that at one stage.
03:48Oh, quick as...
03:51Cries of catcher, but a straight.
03:54And it's punched.
03:54And it's also four runs.
03:56That's a fine shot down the ground.
03:58Best shot in the book there.
04:00The on-drive.
04:04Tipped away.
04:05With strength.
04:06Strong rests.
04:08Four runs to finish that over.
04:0911 off it.
04:10Two done.
04:1120 for none.
04:15Tidied line.
04:16Can't do too much with that.
04:17Screaming to come back for the second.
04:19Yes.
04:19Allen touches.
04:20Turns.
04:21And that is a very good throw indeed.
04:24The big man likes that.
04:28That was a suicide.
04:40Nice work.
04:42Finn Allen's dangerous, but not now.
04:4424 for one.
04:46Haven't seen the best of Riley this edition.
04:48Straight away, he's decided just to launch that one.
04:52One bounce.
04:53Four runs to get underway.
04:55Now there's some intent from Riley Russo.
05:00Oopsie.
05:01He's got that away magnificently.
05:03That is an outstanding shot.
05:05He was looking to go over a fine leg area, but then I'll go over about third slip for six.
05:09What a beauty.
05:11That's a beautiful shot.
05:15Down the ground.
05:17Slight fumble.
05:18Doesn't make any difference to the ball.
05:20It just zips off for a boundary.
05:21So that's 10 off two.
05:25Now that's high on the bat, but it's also high on the stand.
05:29Six runs.
05:30Good catch as well, I think.
05:32In the crowd.
05:33Nicely done.
05:35No running, Russo.
05:37Flick that one flat.
05:39Six more.
05:40And the screws.
05:42No need to run.
05:46What a good looking shot that is, but has he got enough?
05:50No, he's not got enough.
05:51They needed a breakthrough.
05:55And Sal Shaquille is the man who departs.
05:58That was in the air for a while.
06:00Had to show the awareness of the surrounding.
06:05Held it nicely.
06:06Kept his balance.
06:07And come back.
06:09A good hand from Sal Shaquille.
06:1123 from 18.
06:1260 for two quitter.
06:16That's a poor delivery.
06:18And put away for a boundary.
06:21Was pre-emptive, wasn't it?
06:25Nearly chops it on.
06:27That's a better looking shot.
06:28Little bit of pace that's up to at 90 kilometers per hour and is put away for a boundary.
06:34And also the whiff.
06:36Riley Russo created on that occasion.
06:41What a shot.
06:42What a massive shot this is.
06:45Keep your eye out in the crowd.
06:49That was a mighty blow.
06:51Yeah, that's clever as well.
06:52I like that.
06:56Gone in style.
06:57His first 50 in HBL PSL Season 10.
07:04He's 11th 50 in the PSL.
07:07He has two centuries.
07:09And how much did he enjoy it?
07:11And Viv Richards.
07:13Brought up his half century.
07:15The first one this season.
07:18The crowd's definitely been entertained.
07:19Courtesy of Riley Russo.
07:21Gladiators have enjoyed that.
07:23Shimmies offside and strikes it leg side.
07:32Thorn all the way.
07:37That's better.
07:38But it is thumped away.
07:40This time, long off has no chance.
07:42Swept away and swept all the way.
07:49This is a massive over.
07:52Riley Russo turning it on.
07:54Oh, lovely.
07:58He's played this shot a couple of times.
08:00None better than that.
08:02Oh, just look at the way he's played this.
08:04He's moved early.
08:07And this time down the leg side.
08:09He's caught up with it.
08:10And the 150 raise.
08:14In a matter of 12.5 overs.
08:17Oh, you said they're looking at something like 220-230.
08:20Islam had backed themselves to chase that.
08:28If you don't land it on the surface,
08:31it'll land out of the ground.
08:33That is poor delivery and dealt with.
08:37Can Dwosjes deliver that breakthrough?
08:39Next side in the gap.
08:44One bounce.
08:46Right then, Riley on 99.
08:4844 delivery.
08:50Gets a single.
08:52Tap down to third.
08:53And he'll raise the bat.
08:55Quetta Gladiators will rise.
08:58This is fabulous batting.
09:00Riley Russo.
09:01Third century in the HVL PSL for him.
09:04And his ninth overall in T20 cricket.
09:13There we go.
09:14There we go.
09:15Over the top.
09:15Another six.
09:17Draining sixes.
09:20Flagrant.
09:21Disregard for the borders.
09:25He's done his job.
09:26Oh, that's straight back at the ball.
09:28He just ducked under the entire mod was him.
09:31Went like a rocket.
09:34Mike Heisman, sitting next to me, literally ducked it.
09:38Run rate nearly 12 and a half.
09:40Gotcha.
09:40Oh, that's high.
09:42There's a chance.
09:43He's got buckets.
09:44This guy, he's got buckets.
09:45And he's caught it.
09:45In those buckets.
09:47Big Jason Holder.
09:48He doesn't drop them.
09:49It is the end of something really special.
09:51That has been a remarkable innings to watch.
09:54It really has.
09:55Riley Russo, quite spectacular.
09:57Yeah, Islamabad United can breathe now.
10:02They were tense.
10:04Produced a quality innings at the right time.
10:08104.
10:10It's 194 for three.
10:14That's a good contribution from Hasan Nawaz.
10:17He went about the job quietly and he has taken over now.
10:21Ever since Riley Russo departed.
10:25Really good supporting role, but...
10:27The strike rate's 172.
10:32Oh!
10:35That is smashed.
10:38Mike Heisman, duck again.
10:39107 for three.
10:43That's picked up.
10:44And that's drawed for six.
10:46Very good shot indeed.
10:48First ball, the over.
10:48That disappears.
10:53Underneath that one.
10:55That's coming our way.
10:56Okay, Wackard's coming our way.
10:59What a shot.
11:00In the slot.
11:04Short delivery.
11:06He's got something to work with there.
11:07He's hammered that flat for six.
11:09Fine shot.
11:10Another one.
11:11That is huge, humongous.
11:19What a hit, Hasan Nawaz.
11:22Last ball.
11:23He's got that out of the screws as well.
11:28And that's gone for six.
11:30Fetch that one.
11:32Picked the bones out of that.
11:3450 partnership as well.
11:37Deep in that crease again.
11:38What can he do?
11:38Oh, it's in the slot.
11:40And he's now that for six.
11:41That has disappeared for six right away.
11:44Straight off the blade.
11:45Gone.
11:46Can he go wrong?
11:48Can he go wrong, Hasan Nawaz?
11:51Come on, son.
11:52Hit another one.
11:53Big one.
11:54The highest total in PSL history is 262 by Maltan in 23.
11:58Here we go.
11:59On 96.
12:00And has he got it?
12:01Yes, he has.
12:02He got it.
12:04Magnificent.
12:05Another sensational exhibition of batting.
12:0745 balls only.
12:10Outstanding work.
12:11A strike rate of 222.
12:13Look at those deep breaths.
12:14In a pump of the fist.
12:16They'll get a big pat on the back for the great man as well.
12:19That is a magnificent 100.
12:20The second of the innings.
12:24Without a doubt, he deserved that 100.
12:27Yes, it was a little edgy right at the end to get to his 100.
12:31And look at the jubilation in the dugout.
12:34Vivian is very quiet.
12:36He's very calm at this stage.
12:39And very calm, Hasan Nawaz.
12:42We are royally entertained here, haven't we?
12:47We were just so busy in admiring those 100.
12:51We forgot to tell you what was the total they got.
12:54They got 263 in 20 overs.
12:59Two massive innings.
13:01South Shaquille played quite nicely.
13:03Up at the top.
13:04But rest of the batting was not required.
13:06Let me count the ballers who used one, two, three, four, five, six.
13:12They used every resource they had.
13:15Only Imad Vaseem picking up one wicket.
13:18Wicket for Nassim Shah.
13:19But they all went for runs.
13:21All over 10 and over.
13:23Nawaz only bowled one over.
13:25He went for 21.
13:26A very few dot deliveries in there.
13:30That is the target, though.
13:32Great batting track.
13:33I wonder what's in store.
13:352-6-4 it is to win.
13:36Ameh back in the side.
13:46He's been wonderful with the new ball.
13:48A couple of good overs from him.
13:51And then Islamabad United are really backs to the wall.
13:54Well, first delivery.
13:58Ameh starts off with one.
14:01Almost struck the pad.
14:02A single to start off with.
14:04Now, it does also give the batter's clarity, really.
14:08Just see ball, hit ball.
14:12Appeal, and this looks pretty close.
14:15Yes!
14:16Given!
14:18Ameh strikes!
14:21That looks very adjacent to me.
14:24I think he knew in the back of his mind.
14:26And Mohamed Amir, how happy is he?
14:28Breakthrough on the first over.
14:32Losing their first.
14:34They are one for one.
14:41Gone!
14:42Straight to short mid-wicket.
14:43Amir Aso!
14:46Another one down for Islamabad here.
14:48Farhan, he can't believe it.
14:50Crowd is looking pretty happy, too, as we see here.
14:52Back of a length.
14:54Gets slightly higher on the bat, and all he can do is
14:57just pick out mid-wicket.
14:58And that's a pretty easy catch in the end.
15:02Islamabad losing their second now.
15:04Amir is happy.
15:04Two for two in the first over.
15:11Lovely shot.
15:12Floated up and absolutely caressed through the offside with power.
15:16Caught away too wide, and he'll get the boundary.
15:24Salman Aliaga licking his lips on that one.
15:26Another slow one.
15:31Chip to a hole.
15:31Oh, yes!
15:33Second attempt.
15:34Mohamed was seen.
15:36Quetta gladiators can do nothing wrong.
15:39Beautiful piece of bowling from Muhammad Amir as well.
15:41Coming down the wicket into the surface,
15:46and he just sort of bunts at the ball there.
15:49No real follow-through, and he just taps it up beautifully,
15:52falls into his chest, and that is a jazz super wicket, that one.
15:56He's happy with that.
15:58Salman Aliaga has to go for six.
16:00Islamabad now, 19 for three.
16:03Mohamed was seen in the attack,
16:05and he's greeted with a smash down the ground.
16:09And boy, that is hit well.
16:10That is an impressive strike.
16:13That's in the slot, and that's a beautiful strike.
16:16Straight down the ground.
16:17Didn't have to run for that one.
16:21Thrashed away.
16:23Into the offside.
16:25That is 14 of the first four.
16:33Goes full.
16:34Is it in the air?
16:35Chance taken.
16:37That is brilliant balance.
16:39Chapman with the catch.
16:44Jazzette will be ruining that one there.
16:45That was in the slot as well.
16:48Looks like they're checking the boundary here.
16:52Here we have Mark Chapman on the boundary here.
16:55Great balance there.
16:56Good awareness of where he was on the boundary.
17:02Jazzette is already off the park.
17:0333 for four.
17:09A lovely shot.
17:11They have lost four wickets,
17:13but it's such a true batting track.
17:15Beautifully hit.
17:16Miss time down the ground.
17:23All the way.
17:26Well, look, this is the fourth time we've used this surface this season.
17:30Short, and it's a quick delivery.
17:36There is a chance.
17:38Settled, settled, taken.
17:41The short ball does the trick.
17:44He's in form, Mohamed Nawaz.
17:45Look at the line and the height.
17:47We'll see the height there.
17:48It just skids through.
17:49He gets a top edge.
17:51Gets his hands in a good position.
17:53Mohamed Wasim Jr.
17:56He absolutely loves that.
18:00Mohamed Nawaz gone for ten.
18:0243 for five.
18:08Chances is arm.
18:10Doesn't get all of it,
18:12but quite enough.
18:13It has gone over for six.
18:16The end of five.
18:18Islamabad United.
18:1949 for five.
18:20Gets that through.
18:27That's going to race away for four.
18:29Good connection from Azan Khan.
18:35There it is.
18:36Oh, that's out.
18:37That's out.
18:38It is a very good catch in the end.
18:41Bounced up and gathered in the second grab of that one pour.
18:45A quick hands behind.
18:46So follows the line of the ball.
18:48Wider, slower.
18:49The one that goes away.
18:51Big healthy nick into the gloves.
18:53Takes the momentum off.
18:55And luckily for the keeper,
18:56just lobs not too far for him.
18:58That is now six down.
19:00For Islamabad for 53.
19:01Heather Ali goes for six.
19:04Vayim Ashraf now.
19:05He's been in the wickets of late.
19:08That's cracked away.
19:10And out.
19:11Picked him out beautifully.
19:13It's a really good catch.
19:15Had to move sharply.
19:17Sharply to his left.
19:18Wasim Jr.'s taken a fine grab.
19:22It was crunch out of the middle.
19:23Short one with width.
19:26Azam Khan, well, he can hit them hard.
19:29This is extremely well judged.
19:31Not just to take it,
19:32but then make sure he keeps a hold of it
19:34and then also does not slide
19:36into the advertising cushion.
19:38Absolutely top job from the Gladiators.
19:41They haven't put a foot wrong
19:42and they continue.
19:44Seven down now.
19:44Azam goes for six.
19:45Thick edge.
19:50Thick edge.
19:51And that's gone screaming away
19:52for a boundary.
19:54They all countered this stage.
19:58Full toss.
19:59Has that been dished away?
20:01No, it hasn't.
20:02It's out.
20:04Friendly full toss.
20:06And he's just holed out
20:07big Jason Holder.
20:09It was more like he tried to time it.
20:11It didn't look like it was
20:12a complete swing of the bat.
20:15Not out of the middle either.
20:17Right down the throat
20:18of a perfectly positioned
20:19Faheem Ashraf.
20:22All too easy
20:23for the Gladiators.
20:26Islam Bada now eight down.
20:28Jason Holder goes for three.
20:33Just introducing Hassan Nawaz
20:35although he's gone for a six
20:37but it's not a bad move for him.
20:42Short ball pumped away leg side.
20:44He has found a pocket
20:45and he has found four.
20:48And the length was there.
20:49It was too short.
20:54Turned away.
20:56And he'll go to the fence
20:58and also bring up
20:59this slam by the United.
21:00It's 100.
21:01It's 101 for eight.
21:03Oh, that's clubbed.
21:09That's better.
21:10That's more like it.
21:11A bit of entertainment.
21:12Something for the fans
21:13to share about here.
21:20Oh, wicked.
21:20Let's forget about that.
21:21We'll talk that later on.
21:23And, you know,
21:23that's the ninth wicket down.
21:25Deuteron just tried to
21:27hoot one out of the park.
21:29Couldn't clear it.
21:30An easy catch
21:31down at mid-wicket
21:33to dismiss the nine.
21:37Islamabad losing ninth now.
21:38123 for nine.
21:42And he's gone over the top.
21:44Tried to go over the top
21:44and has made it over the top
21:46for six rounds.
21:47Wasn't particularly clean
21:48but he's got himself six.
21:49Oh, that's gone high.
21:55Has it gone far enough?
21:56I don't think it has.
21:57That might be...
21:57Oh, it's not it.
22:00I thought that was it
22:01but he got himself in trouble.
22:06That step has really
22:07was on the thingy
22:09on the HBL skirting
22:11six runs.
22:14So two sixes and two balls.
22:15He's got another one for us?
22:16No.
22:17Bring the sweeper into play.
22:18A bra does nicely.
22:23Just a single.
22:25And 50 up from Mabuzim.
22:2738 deliveries.
22:29Couple of sixes
22:30in this over
