- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Gifts his wicket away! A tad fuller length ball angling away outside off, plays with the cross bat and toe-ends the ball high in the air to mid-on. Immediately after playing the shot, Haris let out a loud scream of frustration. Usama Mir settles underneath and completes the catch. 18/115.2 Babar departs! Length ball in the slot, it was there to be hit, and Babar mistimed the stroke towards Fakhar at long on. Babar's anchoring innings finally comes to an end. 127/216.6 Mendis has holed out at long on! Pitched up front on the stumps, pace on ball and tries to smoke it over the sight screen, toe-ends the ball and clips it to Shafique at long on. 150/318.4 Flicks it to Asif Ali! Missed the yorker length and turned it into an off-cutter low full toss ball on the pads, Bracewell plays the flick stroke half-heartedly and clips it in the air towards widish deep square leg. The sweeper fielder comes around and settles underneath to pouch the ball. Fizz strikes with his slower delivery! 165/517.3 Full, straight and given! A slightly fuller length ball nips back in just a wee bit on the stumps channel, clears the front leg and goes for the big heave across the line, thudding the inner thigh pad. Samad opted to review the decision but started to walk slowly towards the dug-out after seeing the replay on the big screen. All three reds and hitting middle-leg stump, that's plumb! 153/418.6 Whacks it to long on! Pace off widish length ball angling away, gets inside the line of the ball and connects the bottom part of the bat towards the straight of long on. The ball was hanging in the air for quite some time; Shafique came around and gobbled it up. 165/619.3 Disturbs the furniture! Full and straight ball angling in on middle-leg, Yousaf backs away and tries to get underneath the line of the ball, connects with the thickish outside edge and crashes onto the off stump. 168/7Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL173/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Mohammad Haris, 2.1 ov), 2-127 (Babar Azam, 15.2 ov), 3-150 (Kusal Mendis, 16.6 ov), 4-153 (Abdul Samad, 17.3 ov), 5-165 (Michael Bracewell, 18.4 ov), 6-165 (Aamer Jamal, 18.6 ov), 7-168 (Farhan Yousaf, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.3 Stomps down the track in his trademark way and tries to thump it downtown, gets to the pitch of the ball but doesn't get the requisite elevation and Babar Azam takes such a cool catch, reverse-cupping it at long-on! Massive wicket goes without saying! I mean this is needless, they got the asking rate in control, and could have taken more calculated risks but now they will need some rebuilding 45/31.3 Thick edge and miscued in the air, slices it away and taken at mid-off! hits the deck hard and bowls at a nagging middle-stump line, he tries to slash it over cover and gets squared up too! Peshawar have been right on money, pressure from both ends and they draw first blood! 4/15.4 What a tremendous riposte! Thumped hard into the surface and zings back at middle and off, wanted to continue along his merry way and swiveled for a pull but finds the fielder at deep square who didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it up, Samad with a clean take, very crucial breakthrough and a great bowling change by Babar Azam! 43/210.3 That is a huge wicket! Drops short on middle, asking for trouble and he pumps it up in the air, slightly late on the shot and hasn't got the meat of the bat, Haris lines under it and hangs onto ti brilliantly and with his wicket, Lahore's chances drop significantly as well. He is the man built for thriving in crisis situations and now it's looking far more tough and distant, got to play for the net-run rate and prevent further collapse 64/68.4 A fraction short on off from around the wicket, down the wicket and lifted up but hasn't got all of it, Aamer Jamal charges in and dives forward to take a spectacular catch, absolute stunner! Bracewell has his second wicket! Peshawar are on fire and the wheels are coming off for Lahore quickly! 55/49.2 Such a clever operator, seldom gives anything away! bowls a stunning leg-break and gets good bounce and some spin, hit the top of middle and Asif goes without troubling the scorers. Peshawar have got such a potent spin attack and Sufiyan has been in the form of his life! Lahore continue to capitulate! 56/511.4 Backed too far away from his stumps in a bid to force a cut, the ball lands on a length and turns away just enough to beat his cutting blade and hits the timber! Sufiyan making the ball talk and certainly looks better and much-improved after being mysteriously dropped from the national team, answering naysayers with his performances 67/716.6 Fuller and angled wide of off, opens the face and slices it in the air, caught superbly at deep backward point and Peshawar register a clinical win. Men in yellow in at a canter again, having a superb run in this edition 97/1012.2 Over the wicket, snorter of a short ball kicking and screaming back towards leg-stump, tries to pull it away and Mendis takes a super-man diving catch to his left, diving full-stretch and making sure it doesn't pop up! It's been a collapse of epic proportions, quite disappointing and reckless in their methods! Staring into the abyss 70/813.5 Dances down the track to slug it towards midwicket and gets beaten comprehensively, shorter googly turns a bit from wide of off-stump line, he was down and nowhere near the line, Mendis whips off the bails quickly and Sufiyan continues to impress! A really smart bowler who has great control and is a genuine wicket-taker whose game is tailored-made for shorter format 75/9Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL97 all out (17 Overs, RR: 5.7)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Mohammad Naeem, 1.3 ov), 2-43 (Abdullah Shafique, 5.4 ov), 3-45 (Fakhar Zaman, 6.3 ov), 4-55 (Haseebullah Khan, 8.4 ov), 5-56 (Asif Ali, 9.2 ov), 6-64 (Sikandar Raza, 10.3 ov), 7-67 (Shaheen Shah Afridi, 11.4 ov), 8-70 (Usama Mir, 12.2 ov), 9-75 (Ubaid Shah, 13.5 ov), 10-97 (Dunith Wellalage, 16.6 ov)
