00:30And here in Pindy we're ready for power for precision and we're so excited at the 10th edition of the HBL PSL.
00:55Welcome everybody, two fine teams here tonight, United and Kalandas led by two excellent Pakistan cricketers, modern greats you'd probably call them, of an age where the game has changed so dramatically.
01:10So it's the Kalandas who are going to bat first. Let's go for it.
01:15Yeah, when you talk about Lahore, Kalandas, they have the wherewithal to trance the opposition.
01:21They have powerhouse in Fakhar Zaman, up the order, along with Naim, who's getting his first opportunity, comes from Lahore Kalandas' player development program.
01:31Abdullah Shafiq, reliable. Mitchell, also reliable.
01:34Then you talk about players who could flail the bat. They have Raza, Visa and Billings.
01:41This is Lama Bear United, current champions, Lisa.
01:44Yeah, and I like their top order straight away because we've got the first American house who's playing in the PSL.
01:53Farhan has scored over 600 runs in the T20 league just earlier on.
01:58And then the middle order of Jason Holder, the skipper as well.
02:03And then from a pace attack, Riley Meredith and Nassim Sharp, they will send down some thunderbolts.
02:10There's the show.
02:12These are the dancers.
02:17Those are the stars.
02:20Those folks are the fireworks and the troupe that gave us tonight's celebration.
02:25We've got liftoff.
02:41We're all ready.
02:43Here we go.
02:44The start of the 10th edition.
02:45Oh, she's a bit wide to start with and generosity from Chris Brown, who was, I thought, in the most charming mood out there.
02:54Well, that's out.
02:55Well, that's out.
02:58That is out.
02:59Yep.
03:01That extra pace.
03:02Really good ball, that.
03:06Frankly, the wrong line to be pulling anyway.
03:09What a big wicket it is.
03:11Yeah, just not short enough, is it?
03:18Top edge flew nicely.
03:22As I'm kind and taken easily.
03:24And Riley Meredith playing in his first PSL.
03:27He was able to pick up the wicket of Fakir Zaman.
03:30He goes for one.
03:31Lahore a four for one.
03:36Beauty.
03:37That's what I mean about driving it.
03:39That was authentic.
03:41Saw the line and the length.
03:44And he decided it's going to go square of the wicket.
03:47Just picked it up well enough.
03:57First six of the tournament.
04:01Yeah, the first time that we've seen Nassim Shah go a little bit too straight.
04:06And with his pace of 140 kilometers an hour, all he has to do is...
04:11He loves that gap.
04:17Oh, Abiyoto Shafiq.
04:19Get him on that front foot.
04:22Lovely timer.
04:28That's out as well.
04:30Yep.
04:35Both openers gone.
04:36Short his weakness earlier.
04:44On his PSL debut.
04:47For Wailed.
04:48Outside edge.
04:50Easy take behind the stance.
04:55You can understand why he went for it.
04:57There's a little bit of width.
04:59And unfortunately didn't find the middle of the bat.
05:01Naeem goes for 11.
05:03Lahore a 30 for two.
05:04And he knew he had to try and give himself just a little bit of an angle.
05:12Went across.
05:13Opened himself up.
05:14It's a beautiful shot.
05:20Sliced over the top.
05:21And he might just get this in the gap.
05:23It's a quick outfield here.
05:25A roll Pindy.
05:26And two boundaries in the over.
05:28A better over for the Kalandas.
05:29Seven gone.
05:3045 for two.
05:34In the air.
05:36Should be out.
05:37Should be out.
05:38Is out.
05:39It's a big wicket.
05:41Pace off from Imad Wazim.
05:43Maybe a little bit of turn.
05:44And a simple catch for Shadav Khan.
05:50Yeah, you just see that.
05:51He just takes pace off and he goes wide.
05:54Daryl Mitchell goes leg side.
05:56He's trying to open both sides up.
05:58And it's clever.
05:59He's an experienced player, Imad Wazim.
06:01Just goes wide.
06:03And his hands go through the ball.
06:04He knows.
06:05Happy captain.
06:06Decent position they find themselves in in what these 7.5 overs.
06:13Daryl Mitchell out for 13.
06:15Lahore Kalandas 51 for 3.
06:20Short.
06:21Put away.
06:22It's huge.
06:23It's a maximum.
06:26And Shadav Khan with a poor start.
06:31One with that googly again.
06:32It's top edge.
06:33Does he get enough?
06:34No, he straight into his hands.
06:37Tried to get it into the gap.
06:41Aliaga with the catch.
06:44Kalandas in massive trouble.
06:48Into the surface.
06:49Just tries to just clip it into the gap.
06:52And gets too much of it.
06:54Simple catch for Salman Aliaga.
06:57Disappointment for Billings.
06:58Sam Billings doesn't get any.
07:04He's out without scoring.
07:0658 for 4.
07:10Down the track.
07:11Beautifully hit.
07:13Abdullah Shafiq looks in fine form.
07:16A maximum over long on.
07:19You see it hit straight.
07:22It always gets noticed.
07:25Ball just coming back in.
07:26And he just went with it.
07:29Lovely footwork.
07:31Lovely balance as he smashes that away.
07:40Goes big.
07:41Another heavyweight hit for 6.
07:45This is such a good counter punch.
07:51There he goes for a flick shot.
07:53That's beautifully played away.
07:54Into the gap for 4.
07:55This is good batting.
07:56A very good comeback from Raza.
07:58Catch it is the call.
08:04Has it done the distance?
08:06No.
08:06I think he's perished.
08:07He's gone.
08:09After playing so well.
08:10It's Shadab who's picked up Abdullah Shafiq.
08:13No.
08:13It's Raza in fact.
08:15He was in good nick as well.
08:17Wanted a 6.
08:18He's played.
08:19Spinned so well.
08:20But didn't happen this time.
08:22So this one was up a little bit.
08:25Ripped and turned.
08:27So Khanda Raza was eyeing out that deep mid wicket.
08:31He got more height than distance.
08:34And Shadab Khan who has copped a bit of flack of late.
08:38Not picking up as many wickets as he should get.
08:41He does in fact dismiss Raza for 23.
08:45And it's 93 for 5.
08:52And gone.
08:53Soft dismissal.
08:54Couldn't handle the bounce.
08:55He's not very pacey but he's extremely tall and gets it to bounce from the length.
09:01Well his promotion has earned Kalandas basically nothing I'm afraid.
09:06Gripped in the pitch.
09:08A little bit slow.
09:09Had no idea.
09:11You can tell by the fact that he dropped his head.
09:14And just hoped.
09:15And prayed that the ball would find some space.
09:18In the end it didn't.
09:19So Jahandan Khan goes without scoring.
09:23The Hawkelundas 95 for 6.
09:27Oh Bolem what a Yorker.
09:32What a result.
09:34It's outstanding stuff from Jason Holder.
09:38Bounced out a batsman and straight away York the other one.
09:41Fantastic bowling.
09:43And he's got 3 for 12 and he's on a hat trick.
09:46That is the perfect delivery.
09:49David Luisa is tall guy as well.
09:52So he was able to sneak the ball under his bat.
09:57130 kilometres.
09:59Two ducks.
10:00And all of a sudden Lahore in a world of trouble.
10:0495 for 7.
10:06Asim Shah back into the attack.
10:08He started well bowling back of the length at the pitch hard.
10:11Getting a bit of outswing.
10:12And that's beautiful timing.
10:14A man in and seeing it big.
10:17He's the first batter in the 10th edition of HBO PSL to get to a 50.
10:25That's also over pitched.
10:31And it's over the ropes as well.
10:34It looked like that he tried to take the pace off.
10:36And it was spotted by the batter.
10:43Just trying it.
10:44It's so hard.
10:46He's not even looking at it.
10:51And it's the up position captain in Shane Shah Freedy.
10:55And it's been the strength of his abilities tonight.
10:58The ability to change his length.
11:01And change his pace.
11:02And it's been quite effective.
11:05Afili he goes for two.
11:07Lahore continues to struggle at 120 points.
11:12And this time it disappears.
11:15Such is the price you pay.
11:18Who would be a bowler?
11:2017 gone.
11:201, 2, 6 for 8.
11:21It is out.
11:28If he catches it.
11:29Which he does.
11:30Well done.
11:30Because he saw it late.
11:34Yeah, slow delivery.
11:36Working for the paceman.
11:37The same shot.
11:38Colin Munro, I think.
11:41Down there.
11:42All the pace taken off the ball.
11:45And he's done well.
11:46Because he was really slow to react to
11:48the distance the ball was travelling.
11:52And he stayed calm.
11:54Picked it.
11:55Ended up on his knees.
11:56Which he wouldn't choose to do.
11:57But he's got the big man out for 66.
12:00It's 1, 3, 3 for 9.
12:04That one's out.
12:07No problem with that one.
12:09Stumped off a wide.
12:10And so an efficient.
12:13Not glamorous.
12:14I'd say an efficient performance.
12:19The United.
12:21They've been together today.
12:22And happy to be.
12:23Very effervescent.
12:25Shadab Khan is leading them.
12:27He was chatty at the toss.
12:28With a big smile on his face.
12:30And he's had a smile on his face
12:31most of these innings.
12:32As he put Noho into bat.
12:36And he's knocked him over.
12:381, 3, 9.
12:40It must be a happy captain.
12:43Shadab Khan.
12:44The entire team.
12:46The bowling unit responded to his call.
12:48Bowled tightly.
12:49Picked up wickets at the right moment.
12:51Never allowed the opposition
12:52to come back into the game.
12:56All that experience was evident
12:58in Jason Holder's performance.
13:00Shadab was pretty good too.
13:02He had three to his bag.
13:0466 for Shafiq.
13:06Who is comfortably the standout player.
13:08Really good player.
13:09Made good use of a good pitch.
13:11Unlike some of the others out there.
13:13And the two stars overseas players.
13:16Darrell Mitchell and Sam Billings
13:17having quiet days.
13:19As they look to bed in
13:20to their new team here.
13:22The Lahore Calandas.
13:26The figures we're talking about.
13:29Holder and Shadab.
13:307 for 51.
13:32I mean that's a terrific effort by that pair.
