END OF OVER:
20 | 7 Runs 2 Wkts | KK: 176/7 | RR: 8.80

  • Khurram Shahzad3-0-25-1
  • Jack Wildermuth3-0-53-0

6.50pm Here we go. Weatherald and Ayub are the openers. On a turning pitch, Imad has taken the ball. Around the wicket.

6.37 pm Much like yesterday's 20th over in the first innings, that 19th over just now by Danish has flipped the equation in favor of Karachi Kings. Walton ends 34 not out off 27 balls but Danish Aziz steals the headlines with his 45 off 13 balls including 33 off one over facing Jack Wildermuth, who was called on at the last moment because Naseem Shah couldn't bowl the first ball of the 19th due to cramping up in his initial runup. Arish Ali's magnificent four wickets on debut seem like an eternity ago now. Quetta face a very stiff chase now with Qalandars' playoff hopes riding on their ability to overhaul the target. Varun will be back shortly for the start of the chase.

Moiz: "It was ridiculous decision to drop Hasnain and give Naseem shah a chance here. Naseem was not ready at all against Islamabad and even today was not completely fit to bowl even 3 overs."

Khurram Shahzad to Walton, 1 run, OUT, overpitched on fifth stump, slammed flat to long-off. Ilyas comes back for a suicide second only because it's the last ball of the innings but the relay is true to the bowler who takes the bails off with Ilyas five yards short trying to complete the second.

Mohammad Ilyas run out 1 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Kapil Baldawa: "Young boy, all of 17-18 and just 2 overs and he leaves the field. Shouldn't be seen on the cricket field till he is fit to bowl 20 overs a day in any conditions"

Khurram Shahzad to Mohammad Ilyas, 1 run, full on off, driven to long-off.

Khurram Shahzad to Danish Aziz, OUT, slower ball yorker denies Danish a chance at making history! Khurram had him way way out in front. It was looking like a juicy full toss out of the hand but it fell off a table and died very late to dip under the bat with Danish way out in front on a leg side heave before the ball kisses the base of off stump. An anticlimactic end to a scintillating knock.

Danish Aziz b Khurram Shahzad 45 (13b 2x4 5x6) SR: 346.15

PSL record for fastest half-century is 17 balls. Danish will have three cracks here to break that mark.

Khurram Shahzad to Walton, 1 run, yorker on the money on off stump this time, Walton digs it out to long-on.

Khurram Shahzad to Walton, FOUR, searches for the yorker, it's an ankle high full toss on middle that Walton tried heaving to midwicket, but a bottom edge off the toe skittles past short fine leg to the rope.

Khurram Shahzad to Walton, no run, full on fifth stump, goes for a big heave and misses.

Khurram to bowl the last over.

END OF OVER:
19 | 33 Runs | KK: 169/5 | RR: 8.89

  • Danish Aziz45 (12b)
  • Chadwick Walton28 (23b)
  • Jack Wildermuth3-0-53-0
  • Khurram Shahzad2-0-18-0

That caps a PSL record 33-run over. Wildermuth wasn't prepared to bowl that over and it showed. Naseem Shah's exit due to leg cramps looms large.

Wildermuth to Danish Aziz, 2 runs, short and wide on fifth stump, another charge down the pitch and slapped through wide long-on for a pair.

Wildermuth to Danish Aziz, 2 runs, spears this full outside leg, mishits this in the air over midwicket in the ring, it plops into no man's land and they scamper back for a second.

Wildermuth to Danish Aziz, (no ball) SIX, oh dear! It goes from bad to worse for Wildermuth! Tries to slip in a slower ball but it slips out of the hand instead at chest height on fourth stump, top edged pull swirls over fine leg bouncing into the LCD ad boards over the rope for another six. And a free hit to come. Qalandars fans suddenly beside themselves watching this over after getting their hearts filled with joy from Arish's spell.

Wildermuth to Danish Aziz, SIX, length ball on middle, buffet bowling on this occasion and Danish helps himself to a clean pendulum strike over long-on sailing into the LCD ad boards off a short hop.

Wildermuth to Danish Aziz, FOUR, length ball on middle stump, backs away to heave over midwicket, bottom edge just misses leg stump and goes past the keeper's diving attempt to prevent it from going to the fine leg rope.

Naseem Shah to bowl the 19th. Or will he? Aborts his first attempted runup and now flings the ball away as he limps past the umpire. Appears to have calf cramps in this heat. The physio arrives to escort him off the field.

Wildermuth will now bowl the 19th instead, over the stumps to the lefty.

Khurram Shahzad to Danish Aziz, SIX, short on the body, pulls this high and deep over backward square and onto the grass embankment beyond the fence. Not a bad way to get off the mark first ball. Frame that 600.00 strike rate while you can!

Khurram Shahzad to Walton, 1 run, length ball on off, slaps this back over the bowler's head for a long single.

Khurram returns for his second over.

END OF OVER:

  • Chadwick Walton27 (22b)
  • Danish Aziz0 (0b)
  • Aarish Ali Khan4-0-28-4
  • Hassan Khan4-0-40-0

So Arish will have to be content with four wickets on debut. Quetta may have secured last place but Arish has given them a very shiny silver lining today.

Arish Ali to Walton, 1 run, full on fifth stump, Walton gently eases this to the cover sweeper.

Danish enters off strike.

Anything bowled on fourth or fifth stump for Arish, no matter the length, has fetched him his wickets. He's got one left to try to cap what would be a remarkable debut with a five-wicket haul.

16.5

Arish Ali to Imad Wasim, OUT, full on fifth stump, Imad tries to whack this over long-off but doesn't get the distance, comes off more of the toe of the bat and a simple catch three yards inside the rope for Hassan.
