01:29And I think that the general feel in the tournament is of energy.
01:39And I know the crowds here at the National Bank Stadium haven't been as good as other venues.
01:44The coin hung in the air, the call was dead right, and he chose to bowl first.
01:54Yeah, Karachi with a win in the last match.
02:01We'll be hoping that they continue in the same fashion.
02:04They've just made a single change.
02:06Sad, big, the emerging under-19 captain of Pakistan comes in.
02:11But it's above the top three.
02:13James Wins is an excellent touch.
02:15Remember, he's got 170.
02:17David Monner had a bit of a start.
02:19But we're hoping the top order comes to party.
02:22Well, the men in red, the defending champions, have shown great consistency with bat and ball.
02:28As a bowling unit, they've taken 30 wickets already.
02:30And it's a tall West Indian has taken nine wickets thus far.
02:35They've got two changes to their squad.
02:38And Pendoshas comes in.
02:40And Mohamed Nawaz.
02:41Three, two, one.
03:01Lift off.
03:03Ben Dorshuis against Tim Cypher.
03:06We're away.
03:08We're away.
03:11There's a swish, if ever I saw one.
03:14Gentlemen, come on, give us a moment, JP, on the...
03:17Oh, hang on.
03:20I think it was just the rush of wind as that bat swished, surely.
03:26Azam Khan isn't keen.
03:27Shadab, he's not keen.
03:31Oh, got him!
03:33What about that?
03:36Whoa!
03:38Nazim Shah!
03:39And such a big fish to catch.
03:43Well, David Warner spoke at the toss about anticipation of the Australian soil.
03:50And sees the back of him.
03:51Nazim Shah finds the good length.
03:54A little bit of movement back into him.
03:57And clips the top of off stump.
03:59Great start in the end for Karachi.
04:01It's five for one.
04:02And he runs, a boundary, but not off the bat.
04:12Yeah, first boundary for the Karachi Kings.
04:20Got him.
04:21Got him.
04:22He loves it.
04:23Another full ball doing the damage.
04:25Oh, Jason Holder, you're on a run.
04:27He saw him sort of hone in on the back of the length.
04:31But on this occasion, the last ball of the over.
04:33Attempts to go full and straight at the stumps.
04:35And success.
04:37Man of the moment for the Karachi Kings.
04:39Two out of the three games has been the man of the match.
04:43Karachi now.
04:4422 for two.
04:45Good shooting, a boundary.
04:52Saad Baig, thank you.
04:54Yeah, first boundary off the innings, off the bat.
05:03He's going over that.
05:04He's hit that nice and that's four.
05:06That was Savage.
05:08Seifert's had a go at that beautifully.
05:11Short delivery.
05:12He's not very quick.
05:13He's a leader who can take a short.
05:15But he picked up the short delivery perfectly in front of square.
05:20For the boundary.
05:25Very well hit that.
05:26That's a terrific drive through extra cover for four.
05:29That screamed away for a boundary.
05:3141 for two.
05:38Slice that away.
05:39He's found a gap.
05:40Going to pick up a boundary.
05:42Good stuff from Saad Baig.
05:44Second game in PSL for Saad Baig.
05:46He played one game for Karachi King last year.
05:48Got out of a beautiful delivery.
05:50Just started out.
05:51Outslump opened the face of the bat.
05:54Just to get that elevation.
05:56And obviously to go over the point fielder.
05:58That's not very well hit.
06:03That's sliced away.
06:04Another wicket.
06:05Shadab Khan into the attack.
06:06And he picks up a wicket straight away.
06:09Wickets are tumbling at exactly the right time at the moment for Islamabad United.
06:12Well, Saad Baig had the same idea in terms of trying to go after the leg spinner.
06:20Something in the way that he's played in his footwork, particularly on the front foot, that I've picked up on.
06:27And it's actually cost him his wicket there.
06:29Very straight front leg when he's looking to drive.
06:31He was up and out of that one far too quickly.
06:34He goes for 20 from 17.
06:36Karachi slipped further into trouble.
06:3861 for 3.
06:42And takes him on.
06:43Shouts off.
06:44Catch it just over.
06:46Just over the fielder on the inner circle.
06:50This is excellent from Shadab.
06:52Just luring the batter in to take him on.
06:53Taken.
07:02Taken.
07:03All too easy.
07:04Funky dance moves as well.
07:06He's got a bright smile because he's picked up one.
07:07Yeah, the struggle continues with Tim Seifert.
07:10Unfortunately, he just couldn't get the timing in this innings.
07:14Trying to go straight over Imad's head.
07:17Doesn't quite get the elevation.
07:20And a handy catch.
07:22Those are never easy.
07:23They come back quite quickly.
07:26Now you see the frustration.
07:29Madhwazemi does a fantastic job.
07:32His 37 balls for his 13-8 term Seifert.
07:35Karachi, 71 for 4.
07:39And hence why they've lost shape while playing shots.
07:45Will that be the first boundary in 6 overs?
07:48Eventually, eventually from the tall West Indian,
07:51the ball creeped through into the boundary.
07:55A 14 done, 81 for 4.
07:575 overs to go now.
08:01And up goes that finger straight away.
08:05So that's another one.
08:06They are tumbling.
08:07Good and pop-up when runs required at this stage.
08:10It's not easy.
08:11But they don't want to lose wickets.
08:12Kings are in big trouble here.
08:14We're into 16th over.
08:16And that's their fifth wicket.
08:17Let's have a look.
08:18Oh yes, the straighter one.
08:20Missed it completely.
08:21Bang on.
08:22Bullseye.
08:23Middle stump.
08:27Irfan departs.
08:290 for 5.
08:30Karachi Kings in trouble.
08:3189 for 5.
08:32Yeah, there might have been glove involved there.
08:38Yep, straight away.
08:39Walked.
08:40Off he went.
08:40Kostil Shah straight away.
08:42So that's a key batsman gone.
08:44Nassim Shah back in the attack.
08:46And he's picked up another stick.
08:47What a bowler.
08:49He's improving every day.
08:51He's getting better and better.
08:53At all stages, plenty of fans, young fans out there.
08:57And what a delivery.
08:59I think it made him really that awkward length for Kostil Shah to handle.
09:05Really loving what Nassim Shah is doing right now.
09:0817 for Kostil Shah.
09:1093 for 6.
09:14Holder again.
09:14Very, very good shot.
09:18The timing.
09:19Got on top of the bounce.
09:21This will give him confidence.
09:27Saw him coming.
09:29Chipped it up in the air.
09:31And now they're going to watch him go.
09:33Holder again.
09:34He can't do anything wrong.
09:36Playing the right team.
09:37And using those resources really, really well.
09:40Saw him coming down the pitch, Jamal.
09:43And banged it short.
09:45Just an older, comfortable catch.
09:48Wickets are falling left, right and center.
09:51Karachi King.
09:527 down now after 18 gone.
09:54Now that's a good connection.
10:01And that's gone for six.
10:03Wow, that's been a rarity.
10:05That's the very first one we've had throughout the innings.
10:09He can whack Abbas for sure.
10:12Delivery wasn't the best against him.
10:14He looks for this kind of length when he's in the last two overs.
10:18And it was right in his slot.
10:24Fultas drilled.
10:26KFC buckets.
10:28Another scholarship.
10:29Good shots.
10:31Second six.
10:32Tempted Yorca.
10:34Didn't happen.
10:36No full toss.
10:37Picked up beautifully.
10:38By Abbas for his second six.
10:40Now that's gone high.
10:46How far has it gone?
10:48Yep.
10:49It's gone far enough for six more.
10:51This is terrific stuff right at the end.
10:54The biggest of the lot.
10:55Third one from Abbas Afriti.
10:57He's on 20 just off six deliveries.
11:01Another one into the gap.
11:03Let's have a look.
11:04One bounce into the four.
11:05Brilliant hitting by Abbas.
11:07That is brilliant.
11:13And it's a dot ball to finish we think.
11:15They want the wide.
11:16They're not going to get it.
11:17No.
11:17There's no wide there.
11:19So that's the end of the innings.
11:21128 is where they end up.
11:24Outstanding work from Abbas.
11:2624 off nine deliveries.
11:31Let's have a look and see what happened so far.
11:33There's the Pirachi Kings after they were asked to bat.
11:37Seifert.
11:3730 off 37.
11:39Couldn't get going today.
11:40Tim Seifert is a fine player but couldn't find the middle of his bat.
11:44Saad got 20 off 17.
11:46Kostil Shah.
11:4723 balls.
11:4817.
11:49And let's just go down to Abbas right at the end.
11:52Abbas Afriti was 24 off nine.
11:55It was really good stuff and he was pretty much responsible for them getting to nearly 130.
11:59These bowling figures are really good.
12:03Just the two overs that's all.
12:06Nassim just got a little bit of treatment towards the end.
12:08Two for 29 off his four overs.
12:10Bowled brilliantly right at the top.
12:12And Nassim and Holder picked up the two gun wickets of Warner and also James Vince.
12:20Vince.
12:20Yeah.
12:21He was bowled.
12:23And then Amabh was great and Shadab also terrific as well.
12:26So really good bowling from Islamabad United.
12:29Righto.
12:29There's the target.
12:30That's all they need Islamabad.
12:31129.
12:33The ball is doing a bit.
12:34So the start of this innings is going to be seriously important.
12:46Well if you think about the opportunity to dominate in a power play.
12:51He's your man.
12:52That's a good ball to start off with.
12:54This is going to test Saif Zadar who's in good form.
12:57Now this surface has frustrated Warner.
13:03One hand off the handle but still will do the job.
13:06One bounce.
13:07Boundary first one for Islamabad.
13:09Well we certainly saw this attempt from Tim Seifert in the first innings.
13:12Unfortunately wasn't able to get the timing.
13:14Even though the hand comes off the bat.
13:17He still managed to get a big piece of it.
13:19And Ferran.
13:22Well he's been in sublime form.
13:24Yeah this outfield is quick.
13:30He's given up.
13:31And the right choice.
13:33Race away.
13:33What a good shot from man in form.
13:38Yeah you feel with the nature of the wicket.
13:40It's a stroke play wicket.
13:42It's not necessarily trying to muscle it too hard.
13:45He just stands tall doesn't he.
13:48Not a lot of foot movement.
13:49Yeah just on the hips there.
13:57Worked away.
13:58Back to back boundaries.
14:06Yeah he's not learning.
14:08That's an absolute freebie there.
14:11So three boundaries in the over.
14:13Hassan Ali's been spraying all over.
14:19And he's got rhythm going in his batting.
14:24His poor bowling for sure.
14:26Looking at the surface.
14:28But it's just a form of the individual.
14:30Saab Zadha.
14:31Who's really making them bowl poorly.
14:39That's high up.
14:40But still in the wikin zone.
14:42Probably will go all the way.
14:43Yes.
14:45It's not working for Karachi bowlers.
14:48It felt that it's not going to carry to the boundary.
14:51Because of the height on that.
14:55But he knew it.
14:56As he hit it he knew it.
14:57He middled it.
14:59Those eyes just said it all.
15:04Waterman.
15:05Chance here.
15:06Chance here.
15:06Big catch.
15:08Taken it.
15:08Beautifully done.
15:10David Warner.
15:11Kept his eyes on the ball.
15:13Running backwards.
15:14He knew this was a big big catch.
15:16Saab Zadha Faran.
15:18Change of ends for Hassan Ali.
15:22And into the attack.
15:23Into the over.
15:24And gets the strike.
15:25What a catch by David Warner.
15:28Certainly favours the Jubilee safe ends for sure.
15:33Man in form.
15:33He has to go.
15:34He goes for 30.
15:35Slumber one.
15:3634 for one.
15:41Oh that surprised him just over.
15:44And.
15:48That's gone for a four.
15:50Was a good delivery.
15:52Amir was unable to stop that.
15:54In that second attempt.
15:55Oh got him.
16:00Got him.
16:01That one came in sharply.
16:02And Monroe.
16:03Left the gate open.
16:06Well he's a wicket taker.
16:07Had a pour over.
16:08The first one.
16:09From the university.
16:11And a change of end work.
16:13And it worked for Karachi King.
16:15Giving again that back spin.
16:17Nip back delivery.
16:19Created that angle.
16:21And also a bit of swing.
16:22A bit of seam.
16:23There was everything good about this.
16:25Delivery and celebration.
16:27Monroe.
16:28Another one man in form.
16:30Gone I Lee.
16:31He's gone for four.
16:32He's 38 for two.
16:36Oh yes.
16:37Got all of it.
16:38That's a very big hit.
16:40Over the cage.
16:42And into the people.
16:45What a strike.
16:46Just a little skip down the pitch.
16:49All got in perhaps a little tighter to him.
16:51Than he might have liked.
16:52But look at the adjustment.
16:53The quickness of the hands.
16:55And the pureness of the strike.
16:57He's a very good cricketer this fellow.
16:59And now he goes down the ground.
17:01That's a hell of a shot on the up.
17:03On this surface.
17:04That isn't easy.
17:06Terrific counter attack.
17:07And an essential one.
17:08You can do it quickly.
17:09It's skidded quickly off the surface.
17:18I didn't think that was going to go to the boundary.
17:20But the first bounce was almost as if there was a bit of dew out there.
17:23Which I don't think there is by the way.
17:25But it really seemed to skid.
17:26Beautifully placed and timed.
17:36I couldn't find the ball.
17:37I was searching around the park.
17:38I couldn't see it.
17:4062 for two.
17:40He's got it over mid on nicely actually.
17:47That's a pretty good stroke in fairness.
17:49Shuffle of the feet getting him nice and near the ball.
17:52Yeah, just thought for a second.
17:55He hadn't quite got enough of it.
17:57But what should have here.
18:00He had no doubt that he just got enough of the middle.
18:06And looking to go big.
18:07And this is big.
18:09This is beauty.
18:11This pick up nicely.
18:13Nice and straight.
18:15Got all the way.
18:16That took them 21 deliveries.
18:19To pick up another boundary.
18:22Picked one beautifully here.
18:27What a shot.
18:28Shadab giving himself a little bit of room.
18:31And just spanking it over cover for 6.
18:3413 gone.
18:3599 for two.
18:40That's worked away beautifully.
18:41Back on the square on the offside.
18:42Desperate dive.
18:44Not tall enough.
18:45Four runs.
18:48Yeah, you got a ball right length.
18:50But also right pace also.
18:51Because you ball quickly.
18:53It comes on to the back nicely.
18:54You can use that pace.
18:56And very nicely played by Azam Khan.
19:02Bought him.
19:04Not back that off, Paul.
19:05End of the attack.
19:06And he's picked up a wicket.
19:07Jets.
19:09Adarali Khan, you were right.
19:10He should have been balling a lot earlier.
19:13Picked up a wicket.
19:14A big wicket.
19:15Only in the first store.
19:16I think he was playing for a spin.
19:18Ball just went with the arm and hit.
19:21Off Timba.
19:23Azam Khan gone now.
19:24Played a sensible knock.
19:2731 of 30 deliveries.
19:291 of 3 for 3.
19:32Round the wicket.
19:33Sonali and dealt it beautifully.
19:37That's the wrong length.
19:38And Nawaz is very capable of putting those bad deliveries away.
19:44Doing the right thing.
19:45Hitting straight.
19:45Very good connection.
19:48Doesn't mind getting underneath the ball.
19:52Now that's a really good shot.
19:54Good control.
19:55Didn't try and overhead it.
20:02Nicely played.
20:03Fine.
20:04They probably go.
20:05They probably will go all the way to the boundary.
20:07Another boundary.
20:08Was nicely played.
20:10So what do we think, guys?
20:11For example, let's swing the toss around.
20:13And said it had been won by Karachi Kings and they had both players.
20:16Do we think there would have been a different story?
20:18Or is one side playing a lot better than the other?
20:21I think one side is playing a lot better than the other.
20:23In my opinion.
20:24This is my opinion.
20:27Oh, just punches it down the ground.
20:30I mean, kind of dismissive.
20:32Disdainful almost.
20:39As that flies away off the middle of the bat.
20:42What a good shot.
20:43Dropping the bat down on it late.
20:46And it whistles to the boundary.
20:49Stop him from hitting the ball in that sort of area.
20:52As Mark Nicholas pointed out, he played it so, so late.
20:58Oh, what a way to finish that.
21:00And I think Shadab is saying, well, what a joke all that was.
21:09I could have hit you for four.
21:11Yeah, he missed the full delivery.
21:17He tried to play towards third man for a single, but missed the ball.
21:21Middle step gone.
21:23And Shadab is saying, what are you on about, buddy?
21:24We almost won't level the score.
21:27We have six wickets in hand.
21:29Shadab goes for 47.
21:30It's now about 128 for four.
21:32Oh, it's the end of the match.
21:41That is an anti-climax.
21:44Remember, there was one.
21:45We're going to run those two balls together.
21:47The daft one and the killer one.
21:51And in the end, David Warner's face tells you what you need to know.
21:54He isn't happy.
21:54Not at all.
21:55But a thoroughly convincing performance from Islamabad United, butch.
21:59Yeah, just to remind ourselves of Fahan making 30.
22:05He's in such good touch.
22:07Asam Khan, I thought he looked pretty good.
22:09Quite nice to see him at the top of the order.
22:11Such a natural cricketer.
22:13Nothing tonight for Colin Monroe, but he's at a good tournament.
22:15And then Shadab Khan with 47.
22:18So there you have it.
22:19A couple for Hasan Ali.
22:20Absolutely the standout in that attack.
22:22He really came at them, sprinting in as he does, hustling away.
22:26But it just wasn't to be the Karachi Kings night.
22:30And they will be concerned.
22:32As I say, let's listen to David Warner in the interview and let him evaluate the importance of the toss.
22:38And Shadab Khan at the presentation.
22:40128 for 7, playing 129 for 4.
22:43The victory by 6 wickets.
22:46It'll keep them way ahead at the top of the table with a good net run rate.
22:50And what's happened really is that Islamabad United have had all their players performing.
22:57They're able to swap players in and out, knowing that they've got, well, 15 of them have played so far.
