01:00The brother of the bowlers have come to the fore of late, and normally a side that's been pretty spin-heavy, but the seamers have really stepped up, and Fahir Mushrof in particular in the last game with his five for 33 was seriously impressive.
01:42And today, they'll go to second spot.
01:45So that'll be a nice little boost for the Quetta Gladiators to continue their role.
01:49But for Multan Sultans, even if they lose today, they're not out of it.
01:52They've still got an opportunity to get through to that final four, but they do need to start playing well.
01:57That's the important thing.
01:59The toss was won by the Quetta Gladiators.
02:01They elected to bowl first, by the way.
02:03Also, Multan Sultans were going to bowl had they won the toss.
02:06Also, we do expect perhaps a little bit of dew around the place.
02:10Today, there's the Multan Sultans lineup.
02:12Buzzat Khan's alongside me.
02:13Buzz, take it away.
02:15Yeah, Multan Sultans haven't had a great tournament, so that's why they're ringing the changes.
02:19Three today.
02:20David, Billy, Curtis Camper and Osama Mirin.
02:24And good evening to Ramiz Raja.
02:26Good evening, Hazy.
02:27Good evening, everybody.
02:29Quetta Gladiators unchanged.
02:31Kyle Jamison to be included in the playing 11.
02:33He's tall.
02:34This is supposed to be a bouncy track.
02:36Australian clay.
02:37About 80% of it is clay.
02:39A few cracks here and there.
02:40But Quetta Gladiators thinking that they can win this with a winning combination.
02:45So they're unchanged.
02:50Here we go.
03:05Starting with a slip.
03:07We'll be looking to swing the ball back in a little, a fraction.
03:10Nice tidy line.
03:15We'll watch this bounce quite carefully as well with this whacker soil.
03:24Pries of catch it just over the top and that's gone for four to open the account.
03:28This is what Yasser Khan has done all season.
03:34Whenever the opportunity comes, he makes sure that he capitalizes on it.
03:40That's the proper cricket shot, this.
03:47Could be out.
03:48Is out.
03:49That's a soft one.
03:51That is a big one.
03:52First up, simple catch to Mohamed Razin.
03:54So Sezad straight away strikes.
03:58That's one bit that some of the younger players need to understand and learn.
04:02That you cannot throw your good form away.
04:05Especially if you're playing for Multan Sultans.
04:07They've been under the cosh.
04:09Well, he goes early in the piece and that's a massive blow.
04:12Multan Sultans.
04:13Sem for one.
04:14Yasser could only get five.
04:15Legs side, just a tip of the gloves and that goes for four wides.
04:28Oh, advancing this time and he might hold out as well.
04:30He has.
04:31My goodness, that is really soft.
04:34That is exactly what they didn't want.
04:36Mohamed Amir just can't underneath that for ages.
04:39That is rash to say the least.
04:42Probably undone by a couple of deliveries and was feeling just a little bit restless, nervous,
04:49whatever you want to call it, trying to smash it over the infield.
04:52Got the splice, the top end of the blade and easily taken at mid on.
04:57So, two down now for 12.
05:03Oh, no, that's hit up in the S as well.
05:05That's another one's going to be down.
05:07Another gift.
05:08Oh, no, it's not.
05:10How did he drop that?
05:12Unbelievable.
05:12Now, once I put that one down, that is a shocker.
05:16Shehzad again.
05:18There's an edge and a very good catch.
05:21Nicely taken by Allen.
05:23Really good catch.
05:25Got those fingers underneath it quite comfortably.
05:27The umpires are going to have a bit of a chat about it, but I'm quite convinced that's been taken.
05:31Yes.
05:35Yes.
05:36Fingers are under the ball.
05:38I'm satisfied, ready to make my decision for the week's team.
05:40Asif Yacoub is the TV umpire.
05:46Didn't need too much time to adjudicate that one.
05:49Cameron Goodland has gone for three.
05:51Allen, good catch in the slips.
05:53Multan in deep trouble here.
05:5416 for three.
05:55Oh, that's a top edge.
06:00It is going to be safe.
06:03And it is going to go for four.
06:06It's a spicy pitch.
06:07It's an even pitch.
06:08Let's make it four.
06:13That's a very good delivery.
06:15And up goes that finger.
06:17He's got four.
06:18Khurram Suzad has now got four.
06:19He's got four for ten.
06:21This is quite ridiculous.
06:22However, it's not done yet.
06:25That's a wishful look.
06:27Yeah, he's asking Rizwan.
06:30DRS timer is ticking away.
06:35And it's gone, I think.
06:37It's goodbye and goodnight.
06:39Late on the ball and would have gone on to hit the stumps.
06:42Umpire reading it as leg before wicket.
06:49Hit the back leg.
06:50Probably would have gone on to hit part of middle.
06:52And good part of leg stump.
06:54Camper goes for four.
06:5620 for four.
07:00He can play the cut shot.
07:01And that is such a good cut shot.
07:04He likes him there.
07:06Great back speed and into position early.
07:08Gloved.
07:14More evidence of that extra bounce from the Waka soil.
07:17And a relieved looking Iftikar brings up a boundary.
07:22Oh, it's gone up.
07:27And there is a man back there who's circling underneath it.
07:30Takes the catch.
07:32Riley Rousseau, wouldn't you just know it, he's been catching them for fun.
07:35First ball.
07:38And he's got a little bit straighter here.
07:40Iftikar Ahmed trying to take him downtown.
07:43All he can do is just catch it off the toe of the bat.
07:46And that's easy pickings for Riley Rousseau.
07:48Another catch for him to go with his four the other night.
07:52Iftikar Ahmed departs.
07:54A very, very slow six off 14 balls.
07:57Oh, Nick Tengar.
08:02Oh, my goodness me.
08:04It just goes from bad to worse.
08:07Bracewell with a feather.
08:08Fahim Ashraf.
08:09There's a little bit of room for Bracewell to free his arms.
08:14But the ball nipped away.
08:16A little bit extra kick, extra bounce.
08:19Got the edge in the comfortable catch once again.
08:23Nothing is going in Multan's way of favour.
08:26Rizwan again very disappointed from the non-striker end.
08:31Bracewell gone for zero.
08:32It's 43 for six.
08:34Four, first ball.
08:42It was in the air.
08:43It was close.
08:44A slightly taller man at extra cover.
08:46Might have plucked it out of the air.
08:50That is pulled away.
08:52That'll be a boundary.
08:53A little bit of relief.
08:54Slightly shorter from Ebrar.
08:57And pulled away.
08:58Short ball in the air.
09:04Is there a chance yesterday?
09:05Aisler dropped.
09:07Ebrar never looked comfortable underneath that.
09:10It's a very ordinary effort there from Abrar.
09:13He normally wears glasses.
09:15I don't know whether he picked it.
09:16A chance in the deep.
09:23Oh, Madoff.
09:24This time it's taken.
09:25It is Abrar.
09:28He finally got underneath it.
09:30Looked a little ungainly but does the job.
09:35They've allowed a couple of sitters really to slip through their fingers.
09:39And Abrar there with a very good catch.
09:42He's hoping that someone else will call for it probably.
09:44But in the end he had to do the job.
09:46Tied it up well.
09:48And David Willey has fell flat.
09:50But just seven.
09:51And 60 for seven now Moulton Sultans.
09:58This is a better option because it's a pitch where you can play the cut shot.
10:01The back foot shots.
10:03First boundary in three overs.
10:04Taken a lot of time for Moulton Sultans to crack a four.
10:09This one he goes, launches it, legs, side.
10:12He's got enough.
10:13More than enough.
10:15It's gone all the way.
10:17First six of the match.
10:20And it's a whack.
10:22A hack.
10:23Tried his hand earlier by going across the line.
10:27How close was he?
10:31Abrar into his third over.
10:37Chance and...
10:38This will go upstairs.
10:40Quick single.
10:41Yes.
10:42And Raza straight away goes upstairs.
10:47Yeah, freeze it here.
10:48The baton is short of the ground.
10:49Bills are off.
10:50I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen.
10:55It's out.
10:57Osama Mir found a novel way of getting out.
11:00Run out after smacking a six.
11:02Oh, that's gone.
11:13Oh, that's gone.
11:14Oh, we still have a look.
11:15Still have a look.
11:17I mean, that was really messy running.
11:23Yeah, baton is short of the ground.
11:25Leans are off.
11:25I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen.
11:27Well, that's a calamity.
11:32It really is.
11:34There were so many things wrong with that running between the wicked situation right there.
11:38He goes for two.
11:39Moulton in dire straits.
11:4276 for nine.
11:47Hit that pretty well.
11:48Gone for four.
11:49Good shot.
11:49Nicely done by Rezwan.
11:50That's what they need.
11:51Oh, that's beautifully picked up.
11:58That is a terrific shot.
11:59That's gone for six comfortably.
12:01Right out of the screws.
12:08And that's it.
12:10Innings is done.
12:11Wasim Juna has picked up the final wicket.
12:13Good catch.
12:14Take him by Mendes.
12:15Moving sharply to his right.
12:17So they're all out for 89.
12:19So this is a disastrous game.
12:22Take a look at this wicket here.
12:24Just another good test match length there.
12:26Ubed Shah.
12:28Feet not going anywhere.
12:29Manages an edge through.
12:31And a good take by Kusil Mendes.
12:33To win the innings.
12:35Very good catch because it went very quickly indeed.
12:37A good indication also of the pace in the surface.
12:40You know, if you fired up Moulton when they come out with the ball in their hand.
12:43Because this is going to be a tough call for them.
12:45They're going to have to pick up wickets very early indeed.
12:47This is Moulton's lowest ever total in the Pakistan Super League.
12:53Look at that.
12:54Rizwan not out 44.
12:5644 ball.
12:57So he's done well.
13:00The Lone Ranger again.
13:01How many times have you seen him just holding this line up together for Moulton Sultans over the years?
13:06But he really hasn't got anything else to help him.
13:08Osama Mir.
13:09Run out for 11.
13:11Extras.
13:12Only 6 as well.
13:13So 89.
13:13That's not a big total.
13:16They'll be needing wickets up front early.
13:19Take a look at the bowling card here.
13:214 for 23 for Kuram.
13:22He bowled extremely well.
13:24Backed up by Wazim Jr.
13:252 for 18.
13:26And Fahim Ashraf.
13:282 for 21 off his three overs as well.
13:30Might be a total also where they might be able to step up and try and get some net run rate bonuses here with that sort of target.
13:37It's only 90.
13:38That's what the Gladiators needs.
13:40And I think they just might be in a little bit of a hurry when they come out with the bats.
13:43We're just 90 required.
13:54I'm not quite sure even if they wanted how much could the Gladiators help all of their top order in amongst the runs, albeit not big runs.
14:02Coming off two great wins.
14:04After not having the best of starts themselves, the Gladiators, they were one of three.
14:10Here we go then.
14:11Here we go.
14:26Shot.
14:28Well, if the Quetta Gladiators weighed a statement in the first half, how's that for a start with the bat?
14:34If he bowled that length, doesn't matter where you put your fielders.
14:38That's going to go for four.
14:39He had that mid-on fielder back on the boundary.
14:43He had no chance of stopping it.
14:45This was really spat hard.
14:49Now, does he get enough?
14:51It looks like he does.
14:52David Willey with his reduced pace, shall we say, from the bowl as we saw from Quetta.
15:10Has to try and push the ball up there a little bit further to try and get it to swing.
15:13But in that slot zone, is where batters can jump on top of it.
15:20Should be called six.
15:21Oh, have a look at that.
15:28Oh, what a crack.
15:30Now, Finn Allen, well, he needs to get home early.
15:35That is some shot.
15:36With this pace, you cannot mess with the length.
15:40Does the pattern continue?
15:46Well, just maybe add a four to that.
15:48Six dot, six dot four.
15:51Sixteen of the over.
15:53He takes it on.
15:58And he gives it the whole mighty swing for six.
16:01That is an extremely, extremely good connection.
16:05Another tremendous hit.
16:06This time off South.
16:12Now, how is that for a strike?
16:14Pace on and dealt with Enzio with the boundary.
16:21Another big one.
16:22Thirteen off it.
16:22Four done.
16:23Quetta, 38 for no loss.
16:28Nicely played.
16:30He tried this shot a couple of times.
16:33And he went straight into the dugout of Moultham Sultan.
