01:00As they did last night here, indeed.
01:02And then a collection, really, with calendars and kings.
01:05And then just behind them, gladiators and zelmies.
01:07Only molten sultans yet to get off the mark.
01:12Into the Karachi Kings dressing room.
01:15Just a feel for where the players hang out and make their plans and urge each other on.
01:22David Warner, such a big signing.
01:24James Vince so important to them.
01:27Indeed, their two wins.
01:28There he is on the right there.
01:29Their two wins have come when Vince has made runs.
01:32I've said already that Zalmi looked to be nearer the right level of performance in their last match.
01:41So much to look forward to this evening.
01:43A lot of very high-class cricketers on view.
01:46David Warner won the toss.
01:53And very determined he was to bowl tonight, having had to bat first last night.
01:58Baba Razum has missed out, but he's too good a player to miss out.
02:04So watch out.
02:04If he hangs in, he can come out with a very big score.
02:06He was the leading run scorer last season.
02:09Siam did not score runs.
02:10But yes, Kaatmo came in and blasted a very quick 515.
02:14There was support from Harris, Owen, and Samad.
02:16The bowlers did their part as well, handing them a very big win in that last match against Moulthar.
02:25Yeah, the men in red would certainly want to get on the road with some momentum,
02:28playing in their last game of their home league.
02:32And the men in form has certainly been, as mentioned, James Vince with the bat.
02:36Hassan Ali has been incredible with the ball as well, particularly in the power play.
02:41So they're opting to continue with the same 11 for this game.
02:46All right, we're ready to go.
03:05Can Zalmi keep their form of the last match?
03:08Can Karachi Kings get back on the bike after last night's beating?
03:11Here we go.
03:13Whoa, whoa, just a hint of swing there.
03:16Oh, it's very close.
03:23Oh, it swung back at him.
03:25It trapped him.
03:27It's brilliant bowling.
03:30Baba is disbelieving.
03:32He must refer it on bounce, I would say.
03:35The line is fine.
03:36I'm convinced of that.
03:37Original DC on out.
03:41Pitching in line.
03:42Impact in line.
03:43Wicket's missing.
03:44Call, you need to reverse your DCN.
03:47Stand by.
03:49You're on screen.
03:50Please signal.
03:50Fair enough.
03:54Weren't there some tense faces on both teams there?
03:58The enormity of that moment.
04:03Boundary.
04:04Sweetly timed.
04:06It was there to hit, you have to say, but it got hit.
04:08Eight for nowhere.
04:14That's out.
04:14Oh, he dropped it.
04:16No way.
04:17Baba's having a nine maybe.
04:22Have a look at this.
04:25Looked like he wanted to play it on the onside, yes.
04:27But it's from the build of the bat.
04:29No control whatsoever.
04:34And he is out.
04:38James Vincent cover.
04:40He's a tall man.
04:42With an offer.
04:44You feel that nine times out of ten, that's going to the fence.
04:48Catches it high on the bat.
04:50Doesn't quite get the timing.
04:52As we saw last night, particularly on this wicket.
04:55Bashaouwa, nine for one.
04:57Bashaouwa, nine for one.
05:00Shooting.
05:01Yeah, no stopping it.
05:03Didn't nail it, but don't worry.
05:04It's a quick outfield.
05:07First boundary of the season for Baba Razan.
05:11He's trying to execute, and he does so well enough.
05:14Doesn't quite find the middle.
05:16But as mentioned, you get value for shots here at the National Bank Stadium.
05:25Advancing.
05:25Pretty good connection.
05:27Should be tracked.
05:28It is.
05:29Is it?
05:30No, it's not.
05:30It's gone.
05:31He did all the hard work.
05:32Did all the hard work and couldn't quite track it back.
05:38Maximum.
05:39What a shot.
05:40From TKC.
05:44Great sound off the bat.
05:46Big hit.
05:47103 meters.
05:48One of the biggest.
05:53Looking for another one.
05:54Hasn't got all of that.
05:55Oh, that's a great catch.
05:57That is a magnificent catch.
05:59Outstanding work.
06:03Diving full length forward.
06:07Did middle it.
06:08It was a straight one.
06:09It didn't turn.
06:10Inside cut of edge.
06:11And look at this.
06:12What a tremendous effort from Avran Niazi at Badon.
06:16A very important wicket for Karachi Kings.
06:20TKC.
06:20He goes for seven.
06:21Peshama.
06:2236 for two now.
06:23Eased away.
06:29Quickly.
06:30Four runs.
06:31Finely played.
06:32Good shot.
06:34What a shot.
06:37So leg side again.
06:38This time he's gone finer.
06:39Is that a boundary?
06:40Yes, it is.
06:41So he's getting some practice playing that shot from Jamal.
06:48Playing that nice and late.
06:49That's the ability that Bob Rosum has.
06:51Fine shot.
06:53Good start to the over this.
06:55Bound you off the second ball.
07:00Oh, that's close.
07:01That's very close.
07:02That's out.
07:03Kostil Shah has thoroughly enjoyed that.
07:06I think that is adjacent.
07:08And I think his partner has just told him as much.
07:12Long conversation between the two.
07:14Bob Rosum says, shall I, Shantai?
07:15Did I get a nick?
07:17Yeah, let's have a look.
07:18Let's just see.
07:20How are we going to get lucky?
07:21We're going to see her out.
07:26Pitching outside of.
07:27Impact in line.
07:29Wicket hitting.
07:31Stay with your vision in person.
07:32Stand by.
07:35Yep.
07:36You're on screen.
07:37That was all about hope.
07:38You're sitting pretty much the middle of middle.
07:40See, in the Bob Rosum, he was putting on a little bit of a show.
07:43It's good to see him get going.
07:442,46 he got.
07:49Nicely timed.
07:51Nicely timed for Haris continuing his reign of form.
07:55Gets enough.
07:59Gets enough.
08:01And over those two men for four.
08:05Husein Talat off the mark with the boundary.
08:10Husein Talat off the mark with the boundary.
08:11Husein Talat off the mark with the boundary.
08:11Short one gets enough.
08:14Not right out of the middle, but it'll be enough to pick up four.
08:17They're targeting with the short one.
08:19And so far, he's done well, Husein Talat.
08:20Gives himself room and takes the offside on.
08:28Awakened acreage on the offside and he picks up four.
08:31Very smart cricket from Haris.
08:34This is the third consecutive over.
08:36They managed to pick up a boundary.
08:41This time, one hand comes off again, but he again plugs the gap.
08:45One bounce into the fence.
08:47Back-to-back boundaries for Haris.
08:50A very smart, a very effective, and just enough, I reckon.
09:00100% now.
09:07Goes again, and this time, a simple return catch to Amir Jamal.
09:12A change of pay this time works.
09:15And he's animated.
09:17It's a slow delivery.
09:18He picked the first one.
09:19And the second delivery that he bowled in the soar, he went for a boundary.
09:23And again, rolling the fingers over.
09:26Tried to be a little bit too cheeky.
09:28And all he managed to do is pull it back to the bowler.
09:32The partnership was looking good.
09:34They were getting into some sort of momentum.
09:36And it was Amir Jamal, who breaks this partnership.
09:40Yeah.
09:42Like Hussain Talat, gone for 18.
09:45Hushawa, one of four, for four.
09:47Well, the animation was shifted to the team in yellow.
09:53What a strike.
09:55That has rocketed off the bat of Mitch Oven.
09:57Really good stuff for Kushdil Shah.
10:00And he might pick up a wicket as well.
10:02Might have slide leg side.
10:06Are they going to come back to the second?
10:07They are.
10:07So it's going to be five runs, potentially.
10:09Yep, they're going to have a look.
10:17Original DC are not out.
10:19Pitching off the ground.
10:20Impact in line.
10:21Wicket sitting.
10:23You need to reverse your DC and Faisal.
10:25Stand by.
10:27You're on screen.
10:28Please signal.
10:28What a good review.
10:34But that is exactly the right time to get rid of Mitch Oven.
10:38Only three runs off that over.
10:40He goes for five.
10:41111 for five it is.
10:4316 done.
10:46But this is what we have seen.
10:48Out.
10:49Brilliant.
10:50Brilliant.
10:50Slow delivery.
10:52And Harris wanted to just go a little bit wider of David Boerner at Midoff.
10:57Oh, beautiful Yvonne to his left to grab that.
11:02We're getting at the right time for Karachi Kings.
11:04Pressure on Zalmi.
11:06Six down now in the 17th over.
11:09Unhappy with himself and rightly so.
11:11He was well set.
11:12Harris departs for 28 Peshawar.
11:15Under pressure.
11:16115 for six.
11:19That's nice to ball again.
11:22Runs away for a boundary.
11:25End of the over.
11:2610 from it.
11:27But a wicket.
11:28121 for six.
11:33That might be out.
11:35Yep.
11:36That's another one.
11:38They are tumbling now.
11:41Oh, they're checking a no ball.
11:43It's a no ball.
11:44It's a free hit.
11:46Oh, Apari is saying, hang on a minute.
11:48Don't celebrate as yet.
11:50Don't jump your guns.
11:52We have to see that just clearly over the line.
11:56And a very nippy delivery.
11:58I had no idea how to handle that length.
12:02Let's club that one.
12:05How far has it gone.
12:06How far has it gone?
12:07Oh, yeah.
12:09That's the beauty.
12:11Fine shot to finish the over.
12:12They could need that.
12:14That's for sure.
12:1410 off it.
12:15131 for six.
12:18131 on the board.
12:20Oh, no.
12:21He's hit a straight to him.
12:22That's a bonus.
12:23That is a real bonus.
12:24Would have been a wide.
12:25And he's picked up a wicket.
12:27Nothing is happening for Peshawar Zalmi.
12:29Back of a hand.
12:30Slow ball.
12:30And he kind of did middle it.
12:33Top edge straight to the fielder.
12:34Amir Hamza took a good catch at this stage of the game.
12:38Second wicket for a pass.
12:40Abdul Samad departs for two.
12:41131 for seven Peshawar Zalmi.
12:47It's gone underneath that.
12:49It's hit a very high indeed.
12:50It should be taken quite comfortably.
12:52And it is.
12:52That's it.
12:53A brilliant over.
12:54Two wickets in that over.
12:55Went for five runs only.
12:57That is top star for over number 19.
12:59Another slow ball.
13:01Third one.
13:02That was the off cutter.
13:03Back of a hand.
13:04Then the off cutter.
13:06And got his third wicket.
13:08Easy catch.
13:09Amir Jamal.
13:10Easy as you like.
13:12Look what.
13:12Departs for two.
13:13Peshawar 136 for eight.
13:19Backing away.
13:19Playing that off the stamps.
13:21That's a fine shot.
13:22That's a great shot to finish.
13:24That might give that change room.
13:25A little bit of a pump up.
13:27As they go to the changeover.
13:29So Peshawar Zalmi.
13:31In their 20 overs.
13:33They scored 147 for Nathan.
13:36Karachi King needs 148 to win.
13:39In 20 overs with 10 wickets in hand.
13:41Game on.
13:43Yeah.
13:43He got 46.
13:44Off 41.
13:45Had a little bit of a good fortune right at the top.
13:47But runs were there.
13:49And we were disappointed actually.
13:50He just started to hit his straps when he was dismissed.
13:53By Kushal Shah.
13:5528 for Haris.
13:57Off 21.
13:58Then 24 from Joseph.
13:59Azari Joseph.
14:00The quick.
14:00Did a nice job.
14:03147 they ended up with.
14:04Excellent bowling by Mir Hamza.
14:09His bowl is four overs.
14:1014 runs.
14:11One wicket.
14:12Hassan Ali.
14:12A little expensive at the end.
14:14But he bowled beautifully early on.
14:16Abbas picked up 3-3 for Khoshtil.
14:18I thought Khoshtil was the pick of the bowler.
14:20In this slot.
14:23Righto.
14:23So.
14:24That's the target.
14:25148 it is to win.
14:27It's a very important game for the Karachi Kings.
14:29You're not going to want to miss the Pepsi power play.
14:32Don't go too far away.
14:42Tim Seifert on strike.
14:43148 to get.
14:46Oh, he's straight away asking a question.
14:48That is very straight.
14:50But does the umpire feel this bat in it?
14:51Wow.
14:55I have a feeling it is a pad first.
14:58But it might be just slanting down the leg side.
15:01It's swung very late and swung quickly.
15:04Yes.
15:05It decided to go upstairs with two seconds remaining.
15:08Let's have a look at it.
15:10Interesting start.
15:11Origin DC are not out.
15:13Pitching in line.
15:14Impact in line.
15:15Wicket shipping.
15:16Call.
15:17You need to reverse your decision.
15:1910 ball.
15:21Yep.
15:23First ball wicket for Peshawar Zalmi.
15:25Tim Seifert will have to take the walk.
15:28Not good news for Karachi.
15:30They are none for one.
15:36He's got hold of that.
15:38The square leg fielder wasn't far away from it.
15:40But was hit so hard.
15:42He's just couldn't cut it off.
15:48Edge might just go away for four.
15:51Handy boundary.
15:53Second done.
15:5411 for one.
15:55One.
15:57One.
15:58One.
15:58Yeah.
15:59He's found the gap.
16:01That's the boundary from the captain.
16:04That's one hell of a boundary.
16:05The goals on a pitch where the ball's seeming around.
16:08Made himself.
16:09Oh, he's top edge there.
16:13There's an opportunity.
16:14Will take some catching.
16:16The keeper, the best man with the gloves.
16:19Luke Wood has to.
16:20James Wins has to go.
16:21Again, cross the line.
16:26Wanted to just go with the swing.
16:28Ball bouncing a touch and getting the top edge.
16:32And he was very clear.
16:33Very loud to the fielders to just stay away from it.
16:37And Luke Wood was just praying that he should take that.
16:41And he did take that.
16:43Man in form.
16:44Gone now, James Wins.
16:4511 he made.
16:4619 for two.
16:50One more over.
16:51And the first delivery dealt it very nicely by a young Saad.
16:55On the up.
16:56Beautiful shot for four through the cover.
17:03In front.
17:04In front of the square.
17:06Beautiful shot.
17:07A brave stroke for four.
17:09Yeah, that's a good shot from that young man.
17:11Slightly short.
17:12And he was on to it in a flash.
17:19Oh, Warners got it.
17:21He's drifted.
17:23He hasn't got to drift much against the best players.
17:28Oh, no.
17:30That is a bad mistake by Saad.
17:32He was in control.
17:36Now, Saad Big deciding to emulate David Warner.
17:40Doesn't get any bit of bat on that.
17:43Doesn't get into good positions.
17:45Saad Ali Reza is on a roll.
17:47Saad Big goes for nine.
17:4942 for three.
17:50Karachi.
17:55Under edge.
17:57Not very intended.
17:58But it doesn't matter.
17:59They take all the runs on off for Karachi.
18:01I want her with another four.
18:12Oh, chance.
18:15What was Niazi thinking?
18:17This doesn't look like good news for Karachi.
18:25Bills are off.
18:26Battery is short of the crease.
18:28I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen.
18:29Yeah, that's the right call.
18:35Finally.
18:39Well, what a stage in the game where they've lost to Wicked Hartford.
18:4126 runs in this partnership.
18:46Let's pick that up.
18:47And he's placed it in an area where he knows it's safe.
18:56Well, I should have asked for something else.
18:58Here comes the first maximum from Karachi Kings.
19:02And I think that's exactly why Nabi's in the middle right now.
19:06I think he's been given a bit of a mini license here.
19:09He likes to play his shots.
19:10We did see that the other night.
19:11Oh, slightly short.
19:15Chance here.
19:15Chance here.
19:16Taken.
19:17He could have put that away anywhere.
19:20That was almost a half-tracker.
19:22He's found a fielder in the deep.
19:24Looking for the big swing.
19:25He was initially looking to go over the line,
19:27over that boundary line for six.
19:29Now, it just stayed down a fraction.
19:30So, to suddenly dig it out,
19:32and he picked out Samad.
19:35And that's comfortably taken.
19:36It's a good catch at an important time as well.
19:39I think I'd delight it.
19:40Shake at the head from Nabi goes for 14.
19:44Karachi, 89 for five.
19:52Cuts that away.
19:53Look at that.
19:54Timing, placement,
19:56and a bit of power in it.
20:01Goes deep.
20:02Beats shot fine.
20:03Adds four more to the total.
20:06It's 104 for five.
20:07There you go.
20:12The captain of Karachi Kings reaches a landmark.
20:1450, his first in HBL PSL.
20:17And what are innings he's playing.
20:19A knockoff extreme responsibility.
20:21Yeah, and he might be too worried about the 50.
20:24He'll be thinking about the next four and a half correction.
20:27Five and a half overs.
20:32He's gone over mid-off.
20:33Brilliant.
20:34That's proper.
20:35That's Warner in form.
20:37That's Warner dominating, controlling.
20:40Excellent batting.
20:41What a wicket.
20:55What a delivery.
20:56Especially at this stage of the game.
20:59Look what got this breakthrough.
21:03Back of the hand, slow ball.
21:05It pitched.
21:06Straight.
21:06He missed it.
21:07Middle step gone.
21:08And a risk worth taking by Barbara Azan.
21:12Bringing his best bowler, who's bored beautifully with the new ball.
21:16Bringing him back earlier than usual.
21:19And he's shown his class.
21:22That is a massive.
21:23That might be a game changer.
21:24Warner gone for 60.
21:26119 for six.
21:30Oh, that's handy.
21:31Really handy.
21:32Kind of chopped down on it like a woodcutter.
21:36What a shot.
21:37At this stage of the game.
21:39A boundary.
21:4017 gone.
21:40128 for six.
21:41Kalachi kings.
21:46That's a super shot.
21:48Wow.
21:49Fancy threading it through there.
21:51Full marks.
21:54Kuch del Shah.
21:55That is a bit special.
21:59He chipped it.
22:00And he's out.
22:01Surely.
22:02Yep.
22:03He is.
22:04Can't stop themselves.
22:06As the wicket falls.
22:07So the balance switches back once more.
22:11Important wicket for Zalbi.
22:13Length ball.
22:14Extra bounce.
22:1510 middle eight.
22:16Badoff was up in the circle.
22:17He was taking a chance there.
22:18A good catch by TKC in the end.
22:20A pass goes for two.
22:24Karachi 132 for seven now.
22:28Okay, so 15 of 12 balls.
22:31Bringing Ali Raza just get a wicket.
22:33That's more important.
22:34The youngster.
22:35I wonder.
22:35Out.
22:36Tell me what about that.
22:38I wonder if he reviews it for height.
22:41I'd say he will.
22:42Take a review.
22:43I think he's already done it.
22:44Oh, he's doing it now.
22:47Origin DCN out.
22:49Pitching outside out.
22:50Impact in line.
22:51Wicket's in five score.
22:53Calls K with your Origin DCN stand by.
22:56You're on screen.
22:57Please signal.
22:58Ah, got it right.
22:59First time did Paul rifle.
23:01Mohamed Jamal gone for one.
23:031.33 for eight.
23:05Game on.
23:06Last over.
23:07Nine needed.
23:09Gives it a good thrash through the covers.
23:11Oh, yes.
23:12What a boundary that is.
23:14Five from five now.
23:16It's not over, folks.
23:17But it's better if you're from Karachi.
23:19Perfect start for this over.
23:21Kushnil Shah, the man.
23:23Not the best delivery.
23:25He had a fielder there.
23:26But he was wide.
23:28And he waited for it.
23:29Paid that shot beautifully.
23:30And the boundary.
23:32Five required now, Vicky.
23:33When you're chasing this sort of total,
23:35nine required in the last over,
23:37you need boundary in the first two balls.
23:39And they got it.
23:41Third man up means
23:42there might be a slow delivery coming up.
23:45Hassan Ali, what can you do?
23:48Giving it a thumb to Midwikin for four.
23:51Hassan Ali.
23:54What a moment.
23:56Just one needed.
23:58Much needed win to Karachi Kings.
24:00And what a shot from Hassan Ali.
24:02Karachi winning this game by two wickets.
24:05And what a game.
24:09Stayed nice and still.
24:10I think that's wise.
24:12Didn't try to charge.
24:13Didn't try to back away.
24:14Trying to be clever.
24:15Stayed still.
24:17Hit a very good shot.
24:18What fun.
24:22Yeah, the win was required for Karachi Kings.
24:26This will definitely shatter the Zalmis
24:29because they already lost two games before this.
24:33They won the previous one.
24:34Now another loss.
24:35Just a beautiful game of cricket.
24:38We're still finished.
24:39Unbeaten on 23.
24:40Hassan Ali on six.
24:41What a valuable six runs that is.
24:44148 for eight.
24:45Built on David Warner's thoroughly professional.
24:4860 from 47 balls.
24:50He wasn't at his best for a lot of that innings.
24:52He was starting to find it towards the end of it.
24:54DeLuke Wood.
24:55Very good.
24:55Four overs.
24:5614 dot balls.
24:58Three for 28.
24:59Blew him away at the beginning.
25:00Came back to knock over Warner towards the end.
25:02Two for 32 from Ali Raza.
25:05What a find he is at 17 years of age.
25:07Eight dot balls.
25:08Two from him.
25:09The other wickets are falling to Alzari Joseph
25:12and to Jakub.
25:15So there are the stats.
25:17Karachi Kings getting some revenge for last year
25:19when they lost to a similar score by two runs.
25:21Well, the same score.
25:24148 for eight.
25:24What a relief for David Warner
25:26whose commitment to the cause
25:28perhaps deserved the win alone.
25:32Five games played now by Karachi Kings.
25:36They've won three of them.
25:37They go to six points.
25:39Four for Lahore Calendars
25:40and just a couple for Rosalmi and Gladiators.
25:44We'll see you then.
25:51Yeah.
25:51Have a great day.
25:53Have a great day.
25:54Bye.
25:54Bye.
25:54Bye.
25:56Bye.
