00:00We'll be back.
00:30The action continues in Karachi as we bring you live action from Karachi National Bank
00:52Stadium. It is the rivalry. It is Karachi Kings and they take on Lahore Kalandas. It
00:58is the derby. We start in Karachi. It is the Karachi Kings at the moment. A different captain,
01:04a different leader, a new captain, new leader and hoping for change of fortunes. They are
01:09on winning ways with a fantastic win in that first game a few days ago. They also enjoy
01:17a rivalry of note against their arch rivals Lahore Kalandas who have turned around a fantastic
01:22win against the Quetta Gladiators in Lahore. They make their first outing in Karachi in
01:28the City of Lights and it promises for a fiery encounter. And it was that hard surface that
01:37persuaded Shaheen Shah Afridi who won the toss and elected to put runs on the board.
01:44Well, both teams come in with a bit of momentum with wins in their previous game and the captain
01:49Shaheen Afridi certainly leading from the front with board in hand. Fakir Zaman back in form and the
01:55formidable middle order that they will rely a lot on to get some runs towards the back part of the
02:03innings. Zaman is the new man in for Jahandad. Yeah, unchanged as expected. The winning combination
02:11sticking to it. David Warner will be hoping he can be among the runs. But the main concern for them
02:18is the bowling. Remember, they went for plenty. It depends upon Menhaz, Abbas, Milne, Hassan Ali
02:23and Favad Ali didn't show. Because they're fielding first, they start well here.
02:44Countdown clock, ready to go. Second game here in Karachi. Adam Mil with the ball for Karachi.
02:49Umpire says play. Here we go. It is Karachi versus Lahore.
03:03A great line to start. He came under a little bit of speculation. Adam Mil with the ball in that power play.
03:10The charge. The connection. Does it carry? It doesn't carry but it's been put down. The man of the
03:23moment from the previous game. James wins. Puts down a sitter.
03:27Yeah, certainly the ideal start for Karachi. The opportunity to get a wicket in the first over.
03:39That is very, very well connected. And travels the distance as well. The first clean hit of the day.
03:46Naeem off the mark with a six.
03:47Nice. Picked up again. This time doesn't connect. Fielder settles. Takes it.
03:55Abbas Afridi with a simple catch. Karachi now draw first blood. It is Naeemu falls for seven.
04:04Attempted to go over the top. Successful in his fourth but not in his fifth. He goes for seven. Lahore. Twelve for one.
04:11Picked up nicely. Probably doesn't have the legs to carry to the boundary. Does. Does.
04:19This Karachi outfield very good. Although it wasn't timed out of the middle but he picks up for Shafiq.
04:28Leading agent gone. Corrects the length and gets rewarded. Hassan Ali. He now has two.
04:34The credit goes to the bowler. Hassan Ali. Tons of experience. Look where he is intending to play.
04:43On the onside. Gets caught on the offside. Really good. But they are pumped up. That's the signature
04:51celebration from Hassan Ali. Abdullah Shafiq gone for six. Lahore. 25 for two.
04:58And plays it well. Delivered attempt to open the face of the bat. Controlled. And picks up four.
05:17Signature shot for Daryl Mitchell. Stand in liver. Starts the over the boundary. Ended with one. Five done. 34 for two.
05:28Advancing and slamming that down the ground for four. That is a fine stroke.
05:33That came out of nowhere. He's on 21 now.
05:40Giving yourself some room. Sliding that one through the covers as well. That's another very good shot.
05:45Back to back boundaries. Good stuff from Fakus Aman.
05:48One. My goodness. That's gone over the top. Not by much. Got a glove on it. But that's all.
05:59That also brings up their 50. 51 now in the hall for two. We're concerned. What a delivery.
06:04From Favardelli.
06:08Got that away for four. Sit that very smartly down there to that region. In that corner.
06:18He got it over the top. Yep. He has. That's an important boundary. It was a tight over.
06:23Would have been the second tight over for that. Hadn't gone for four. 70 for two.
06:30Bit of flight that time. And that's been slapped over the top for six. That's a great start of the over.
06:35Terrific hit from Fakus Aman. Brings up the 50 stand as well. 51 now.
06:39Of 34 between these two guys.
06:45And he's trying to pick out one of them. But he's trying to pick out someone in the stand rather.
06:49And it's a very fine catch from the wall boy. Took that easy. Absolute simple catch.
06:5614 off the over so far. He's going to add another half a dozen.
07:01He is. Six more. Big over. 20 off it. Also brings up the 50 of just 29 deliveries.
07:08Fakus Aman. He had a life early. But he's capitalizing now. 90 for two it is.
07:17Back to back sixes. And he brings up another half century.
07:22The second one in the tournament. Plenty of runs as well.
07:29Has delicately played. A deft touch for four.
07:35Mid-off. Still up in the ring.
07:38Takes him on.
07:42And takes him on for one bounce four.
07:46Yeah. Brings up the hundred for the Lahore calendars.
07:49He goes to the back of the hand option.
07:54On he goes again.
07:57And just over the fingertips of the square.
08:01Filled up Irfan.
08:07It was short.
08:08And he's picked it up into that big lay vacant leg side.
08:12What a take. But he does crash into the boundary.
08:15Push the shot with a valiant effort.
08:17But in vain.
08:18And to make matters worse there will also be six.
08:22We need to get you down there.
08:30He's got a hit. He had to hit.
08:33And he doesn't. And the overthrow.
08:36Whoa, whoa, whoa.
08:37Only makes matters worse for Karachi Kings.
08:3954, Daryl Mitchell. It's been a fine innings.
08:48What a strike.
08:50The crowd applaud.
08:51That's hit the roof at the Karachi National Bank Stadium.
08:53It is flying. The ball is flying here.
08:56This time of the bat off, Mitchell.
09:03Low full toss. Drilled down the ground.
09:05Hits it hard. And it's out.
09:09Rarely fine catch.
09:10Very nicely taken.
09:11It's a really important wicket at exactly the right time.
09:14David Warren will be sighing with relief a little bit there
09:16to get Fakas Aman out of that stage.
09:21Karachi Kings.
09:22Definitely breathing a little better now.
09:25Fakas Aman. Superb knock. 76 of 47.
09:29Gone now. It's 150 for three.
09:35And here we go.
09:36The first ball out of the park.
09:38Beautiful shot. Good use of the feet.
09:40And he's going to put Kushel under some serious pressure.
09:44Absolutely he did. First ball six on that too.
09:50Hasn't quite got hold of.
09:51That's right at the end of the bats.
09:53And it's not going to go for six.
09:54Just going to bounce once.
09:56Still good connection though.
09:57Good enough from Billings.
09:59I'm not sure if he picked that slow delivery.
10:01Oh that's good connection. That's gone high.
10:06How far has that gone?
10:08Not far enough. It's been taken at the end.
10:10Went very high indeed.
10:12And he's picked up his fourth wicket now Hassanani.
10:14There's a fine performance from him.
10:15Sam Billings who looked really good 19 of 10.
10:20He didn't middle it.
10:21It's the longest side off the ground.
10:24And very easy catch by Irfan.
10:28He got it in the end.
10:30And Sam Billings departs for 19 of 10 Lahore Kalandas.
10:331.78 for four.
10:37Sekunda Raz at the non-strikers end.
10:39Slow delivery to start with.
10:40Mitchell might be joining.
10:42And no.
10:42It's gone over the top.
10:43And at six runs.
10:45Fine way to start the over.
10:46That's off the stumps.
10:52Little shovel.
10:53One bounce and that's gone for four.
10:55Superb stuff from Mitchell.
11:00Another slow ball.
11:02And he's out.
11:03He's gone.
11:04It's a good catch at the end.
11:05Didn't quite have his balance.
11:07Hassanani.
11:08But it's an important catch to get Mitchell at that stage.
11:10He was looking to unleash.
11:13Really played beautifully.
11:14Took his little bit of time to get going today.
11:16But then he stepped on it.
11:17And played superbly Mitchell.
11:18Well now he's gone.
11:20Gone for 75.
11:21Daryl Mitchell.
11:22It's 1.88 for five.
11:26Works that away to the sweeper.
11:28Has it got through?
11:28Yes.
11:29That's valuable.
11:30That's an important boundary.
11:32And a good time for Sekunda Raz at.
11:38Let's hit that better.
11:39Drilled that one for four.
11:40Nicely played.
11:42A couple of fine strokes.
11:44Three two hundredths in three innings now.
11:46And Karachi.
11:47This HPL PSL.
11:51Last ball.
11:53Looking for the slot again.
11:54It's been dug out superbly.
11:56It's just going to be one.
11:57But they're going to come back for the second.
12:00Might have got there.
12:01I wonder.
12:01We'll have to wait and see.
12:03All these runs might count in this one.
12:05There might be a bit of due a little bit later as well.
12:07We have an umpire review for an out at the baller's end.
12:13But it's short of the ground.
12:14Heels are off.
12:15I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen.
12:19So that's the end of that inning.
12:20He's ending up with 201 for six.
12:23Lahore Cullandas.
12:26Right.
12:26Let's have a look at the cards of the Lahore Cullandas.
12:29Bakasamani was dropped with one.
12:31So it was a real life at that stage.
12:33But played very well for his 76 off just 47 balls.
12:36Which is something that he does so well.
12:38He can play catch up cricket very quickly.
12:41Mitchell 75 off 41.
12:42Got a 30 ball 50.
12:43After a little bit of a slow start.
12:45But his performance then was outstanding.
12:47Billings a quick fire 19.
12:49Getting just past that 200 mark.
12:52Although they did drop catches.
12:54Some run out were missed.
12:56But Hasan Ali was outstanding.
12:58Picked up two wickets with a new ball.
13:00And then came back at the end.
13:02And balled a superb spell.
13:04Picked up two more wickets.
13:05Sabas picked up one.
13:06And nothing for Mil once again.
13:09And Benaha struggled.
13:10He bowled two overs for 26.
13:13So I think it's a par total.
13:16Right.
13:16There's the target.
13:17202 it is.
13:18It might be a little bit due around a little bit later.
13:20Which might make it a little bit more difficult for Lahore.
13:23We'll have to wait and see.
13:24They'll need a good start.
13:27Time for the chase now.
13:29And another 200 moment.
13:32Shaheen Shah Freedy.
13:39Straight up fuller length.
13:41And David Warner.
13:43Placed that into the cover.
13:44So yes.
13:44230 was not enough.
13:47That is why I'm saying.
13:48This is.
13:49A very good matchup.
13:52Could be out.
13:53Could be out.
13:53Could be out.
13:54And is given.
13:57Shaheen winning this competition between these two.
14:00It was wide.
14:02David Warner was reaching for it.
14:04Warner saying he's not sure.
14:06He is not sure.
14:07He might just send it upstairs.
14:09Just keep rolling.
14:11Keep rolling.
14:12Keep rolling.
14:13Roll it back one more time please.
14:15Yeah.
14:16Now roll forward.
14:17There is a spike one ball passing the bet.
14:19Stay with your original CMOK.
14:22Stand by.
14:23Your own screen.
14:24Please signal.
14:25Well the spike suggests that Shaheen Shah Freedy now has 21 wickets in T20 cricket in his
14:32very first over.
14:34Captain David Warner has to depart because of this outstretched arms chasing that one
14:40and edging it to Sam Billings.
14:42Not a good outing for Captain Warner.
14:46Karachi are none for one.
14:52Oh he's knocked him over.
14:55That's a huge wicket.
14:57The man in form with a hundred the other night has been dismissed for no score.
15:03Only a second delivery is faced.
15:06Just a little lazy I would say.
15:08This wasn't a delivery you get out on off the pad onto the off stump.
15:13But it was just pure laziness from James Winst.
15:18Not one.
15:19This time around is true for Shaheen in his first over.
15:23Shaheen Shah Freedy gets wins for the fourth time in HBL PSL.
15:27Winst goes for no score.
15:28None for two Karachi.
15:39Wow.
15:40They can do nothing wrong today.
15:42Diving forward getting his fingers underneath.
15:45It was dying on him.
15:47But he's made sure he gets there in time.
15:50Yeah.
15:51One more frame.
15:52Freeze it.
15:52Freeze it.
15:54Freeze on the back.
15:54Previous frame.
15:57Take it back.
15:58Okay.
16:00Now, one more frame.
16:05One more.
16:06Yeah, I can see.
16:07Yeah, stop it here.
16:08Yeah, freeze it here.
16:09I can see the ball is on the ground before going into the hand.
16:12I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen.
16:14We know it.
16:15We saw it.
16:15It's not out.
16:17Empire, Asif Yakoob on the front of the television makes that right call.
16:25This might be, this might be the same issue where, where, uh, Karachi,
16:33when they dropped Faka Zaman, this might be the similar scene here.
16:39Straight away, decided to go reverse and, uh, got it comfortably.
16:44Down on one knee.
16:51That's going into the vacant area.
16:54One bounce.
16:55Seifert gets two boundaries and two deliveries.
17:01Oh dear.
17:03We didn't make the most of it, but you'll still get a boundary.
17:06Yeah.
17:07Miss Field boundary for Sean Masood and, uh, good start here for Karachi.
17:13They started just starting to look good now.
17:15Nicely done by Sean.
17:21On drive.
17:22Boundary runs are coming in now for Karachi.
17:30Straight to Mitchell and he's on his way.
17:32Couldn't have picked him out better.
17:34Striking at exactly the right time as far as Lahore is concerned.
17:38Asif Afridi is up to the occasion.
17:41Reads the play.
17:43Yorks him.
17:44Couldn't get the elevation he was looking for.
17:47Quite comfortable.
17:48The Jubilee safe hands.
17:50Bit of a frustration for Tim Seifert.
17:5322 deliveries gets 18 Karachi now.
17:5639 for three.
18:00Looking to advance.
18:02Has he hit that well enough?
18:03Yes, he has.
18:04He's got himself half a dozen.
18:06Good shot.
18:11Sean Desain.
18:14Might have been a bit of glove involved there.
18:17Sam Belling certainly likes it.
18:18Pull rifle says not out, but they have decided to go upstairs straight away.
18:22Yeah, roll further, roll further, roll further.
18:28Yeah, roll it back one more time, please.
18:32Now roll forward.
18:33Yeah, please sit here.
18:34There is a spike and wall next to the gloves.
18:37You need to reverse your decision, Paul.
18:39Stand by.
18:41You're on screen.
18:42Please signal.
18:45Just a tickle off the glove.
18:47Sam Belling straight away.
18:49He knew.
18:49Shah Massoud now to pass for 18 or 14 deliveries.
18:54Karachi in a bit of trouble at the moment.
18:5545 for four.
18:58And a great start, yeah.
19:03Oh, it's a good sound off the bat.
19:05He's hit it very high, though.
19:06This could be out also.
19:08Comfortably out.
19:09Mitchell.
19:10Good hands.
19:12Rashad Asain has now picked up two wickets in his first open.
19:15He's only conceded one run.
19:16He's still got one ball to go.
19:18Five down now.
19:19Yeah, Karachi in all sorts of trouble.
19:22Only under eight overs and five down.
19:26Irfan Khan, he goes for six.
19:31And there's another one.
19:32Another wicket goes down.
19:34They are tumbling at the moment.
19:35The Karachi kings.
19:36Another spin is introduced.
19:38And another wicket.
19:39Four wickets and 16 balls.
19:45And the spin has dominated this phase of the game.
19:49Manaz doesn't trouble the scorers.
19:51Karachi 47 for six.
19:52Oh, is it again.
19:56And that's the fall of another wicket.
19:59It's seven down now for Karachi.
20:02And Rashad's picked up his third.
20:04Big trouble now for the Karachi kings.
20:09Turned a little bit.
20:10Bounced a little bit.
20:11Simple catch in the end for Zaman Khan.
20:16Afraid he goes for one.
20:17Karachi kings now 50 for seven.
20:23Player there.
20:23Will it sail over?
20:25Yes, it will.
20:26Maximum to Hassan Ali and Karachi.
20:35Sharp one.
20:35Took his eyes off.
20:37He'll get a boundary.
20:38Yes.
20:40That just rolls across.
20:43Naeem tried his best.
20:44That'll be four more to Hassan.
20:49Straight.
20:50That should clear everything.
20:52It does.
20:54Maximum to end the over.
20:56Karachi fans, something to shout about.
20:5983 for seven.
21:07Well, it's hit hard.
21:09Wasn't that far away from Abdullah Shafiq.
21:12But couldn't come across to cut it off.
21:16In the air.
21:18Is it gone over the rope, over the rope, over the rope?
21:21Yes, it's gone over the rope.
21:23He caught it, but didn't realize that the skirting, the boundaries,
21:29was just underneath his foot.
21:32He just touched it, so it's gone for six.
21:34Got him.
21:38Moved across too far, and they've now picked up their eighth.
21:43Good stuff from Afridi, bang on target.
21:45Hassan Ali, a short ball, and then straight into the stumps.
21:52He was gone too far across, and you can see all the sums, and with the experience of Shahid Navridi,
21:58with that pace.
21:59Now eight wickets down for 98.
22:01It hasn't only gone for 27.
22:03Pretty good connection from Milne.
22:09He's got that away for a boundary.
22:10That's nicely played.
22:12Brings up the 100.
22:13102 for eight.
22:14It's gone over the top.
22:24That's pretty safe in that area, and it's gone for four.
22:27Just the one bounce.
22:28Good stuff from Khushil Shah.
22:33That's picked up beautifully.
22:34That's gone a long way.
22:35That's right out of the screws for six.
22:37That's a big hit.
22:38He can hit.
22:39Absolutely, Khushil Shah is in his good nick as well.
22:45Oh, that's picked up nicely.
22:47That's gone a long, long way.
22:48That's a big six.
22:50That is superbly hit.
22:51That is a huge shot.
22:54And that's why I'm not the great fan of variation.
23:02Chopped it on bottom edge.
23:04Another stunt.
23:04Bit of a smile there from Horace Ralph.
23:08He's done a good job today.
23:09Now he's picked up a wicket.
23:14That was on the cards.
23:15He's got a big shot.
23:19Gets an inside edge and onto the stumps.
23:22So another one goes.
23:23Hushil Shah.
23:24Gone for 39.
23:25Karachi, 134.
23:26Good night.
23:27It's gone to Raza to start the last over.
23:30And it's all over now.
23:32Off the thigh pad and onto the leg stump.
23:35And it's all done.
23:37What a top victory for the Lahore Colanders.
23:39They can be really pleased with this performance.
23:41They've done a fine job coming up aside.
23:43They played so well the Karachi Kings in their first outing.
23:46And won a very high scoring tight game.
23:49But they've been all over them tonight.
23:51Absolutely.
23:52Thumping win by Lahore Colanders.
23:53Karachi winning streak of five matches against Lahore.
23:56Comes to an end.
23:57And what a performance by Lahore Colanders.
24:01Karachi Kings.
24:02Warner missing out.
24:03And Vince missing out.
24:04The two big guns.
24:05The two guys that are the experienced players.
24:07And of course Vince was magnificent.
24:09Seifert only 18.
24:10Along with Masood.
24:11Niazi, 6.
24:13Kushdur was batting right at the end of 39.
24:16And Hassan Ali after getting 4 for 28 with the ball earlier today.
24:21Ended up with 27.
24:22Off 25.
24:23Aliyah Shahin Shah Afridi started all.
24:26Ended up with 3 for 34.
24:28But Rashad Hussein certainly came out with the flying colors.
24:333 for 26 in four of us.
24:34A couple of wickets for Raza.
24:36All right.
24:37Let's have a look back at the match summary for match number six.
