- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.5 bowled him. Good length ball on middle, and Weatherald went for the pull to a ball that was too full for that shot. That instead hits his front pad, and goes on to nudge the middle stump. 66/31.4 lofted bang to deep point. Faulkner goes full and wide of off, and Usman finds the only fielder on the fence on the off side. He stretched out his arms to go over cover, but finds the fielder right away. 4/18.2 bowled him with the wrong 'un. This was fuller on middle and off, and seemed to turn away from the batter who went for a flick off the back foot. And Rashid has an impact straight away by breaking this solid stand. 62/214.1 Faulker around the stumps. Slower ball outside off and Azam is absolutely done in by the lack of pace. Well disguised ball, and Azam's attempted leg side slog has no power on it. Easy for Fakhar, who now is wearing sunglasses. Wicket first ball after the break, with Faulkner showing his experience 109/414.6 snap catch! Full, just outside off stump. Wants to hammer it back past the bowler, but instead hits it straight to him. Reflex catch on the followthrough and golden-arm Faulkner continues with his magic 115/5Extras15 (b 1, lb 6, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL158/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.9)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Usman Khan, 1.4 ov), 2-62 (Cameron Delport, 8.2 ov), 3-66 (Jake Weatherald, 9.5 ov), 4-109 (Azam Khan, 14.1 ov), 5-115 (Mohammad Nawaz, 14.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.1 Fakhar plays across the line and is bowled. That was bowled with a scrambled seam on a good length on middle and seemed to move away from the batter. He goes for the full-blooded slog, but instead loses his middle stump. Hasnain joins the party now 23/20.2 taken swiftly at slip, and the Qalandars captain is back without scoring. Shinwari went a bit wider of the crease, and pitched if full on middle and leg. Sohail tries to defend, but gets an outside edge as the ball looked like shaping away from the batter. Early blow for the Qalandars here. 4/15.5 and inside-edged to Sarfaraz this time. Finally a wicket here after all the drama. Goes for the pull to a good length ball on off, and gets an inside edge to the keeper. It's all happening here, as the Qalandars finally run out of luck. 39/44.3 leading edge and snapped up at cover. Shinwari bowled this slower ball on leg stump, as the ball angled into the batter. Hafeez went off the flick, but the ball seemed to have stopped before coming on. He gets the edge, and Azam Khan has it easy 27/36.5 that turns and has the batter flummoxed. It was pitched full just outside off, and turned into Dunk as he went for the drive off the front foot. Doesn't let the ball come on to him, as it sneaks through between his bat and pad to knock back off stump 47/514.6 has the last laugh! This around the stumps angle has worked wonders. Full and wide. He tries to hit it over Shinwari's head, but it takes the edge to Sarfaraz 105/88.6 Good length ball on middle, and Rashid misses his pull shot. Not great bounce for the bowler, and Rashid perhaps even expected it to turn while trying to pull. Everything going awry for Qalandars here. 57/611.4 a blinder! Good length ball angling in, and he slaps it cover. But fielder moves to his left, dives low, and holds on to a toughie. 66/716.3 yorker gets him his third. Makes room, but the ball goes under the bat, and hits the base of leg stump. Is that a no ball though? Goes in Khurram's favour by the tiniest of margins. What a ball though, and in hindsight good on Afridi to back away because that, my friends, was a toe crusher 119/917.6 party over! Nothing quite like a yorker to end the game off. Straight, goes under the bat, and Rauf's slog has no connection. Middle stump gone. Hasnain celebrates. Sarfaraz smiles.
