A huge effort needed from Islamabad, but hey, they have the nack of making thrillers out of nothing. How will they fare? Join us in 10 minutes to learn more.

Faheem Ashraf to Pollard, 1 run, OUT, he's out obstructing the field He gave himself room but the bowler followed him. The ball went through Pollard at yorker length and Ronchi didn't gather cleanly. They ran a single, Pollard for some reason wanted two. Sammy wasn't interested at all and didn't move. Pollard had run down the length of the pitch, when the throw came in, and he stuck out his left leg to block the ball. They appealed immediately

Rumman Raees to Pollard, SIX, slower bouncer, faster pull shot Pollard waits for it and that power that he generates means even though it's slow and he's not got hold of it very cleanly, it sails over the square leg fence. Pollard has hit only sixes so far - four of them. Not a single four

Rumman Raees to Pollard, no run, another slower ball, a slower bouncer that time. Doesn't rise more than chest height but Pollard mis-reads it and swings too early and misses.

1
Rumman Raees to Sammy, 1 run, dropped on the long-on fence touch chance, Hales wasn't sure where the boundary was and ended up leaping for it. Tried to palm it in, and Walton was nearby waiting for the relay catch, but the ball was too far from him. This was a slower ball and Sammy hit it across the line, but didn't get timing on it. The batsmen ended up taking only one run
Awais: "The Zalmis are more like the West Indian Cricket team when it comes to approaching T20 cricket. Hit them for the long SIXERS and don't worry about singles. Except Imam no one is good at strike rotation in this team.. "
