00:00Oh
00:30There's qualifier number one, this one, between the Quetta Gladiators and also Islamabad United,
00:52and this promises to be a wonderful, wonderful game.
01:00The toss, that was won by the Quetta Gladiators, and they had no hesitation whatsoever.
01:11With a smile on his face, by the way, as well, the skipper, and electing to bat first.
01:17Quetta batting first tonight, Finn Allen back in the side, Riley Russo and Mohamed Amir all back in.
01:22It's a pretty destructive middle order here, Dinesh Chandamal, Avishka Fernando, Riley Russo, Fahim Ashraf.
01:27He's been impressive all tournament, with both bat and ball.
01:30You can see there, this is where they will look to be restricting Islamabad.
01:34Mohamed Amir, Wazim Jr., Uzman Tarek, and Abra Ahmed has been impressive as well with the ball.
01:41We have a look at Islamabad United now.
01:44Those top two, Farhan and Hales, they were destructive the other night.
01:47Rassi van der Dusen didn't score many, but they'll look to him to score a few tonight.
01:51Salman Aliaga, Shadab Khan, the captain.
01:53Jimmy Nishim in tonight.
01:55Ghazi Gordi keeping as well, again.
01:57Ahmad Wazim was brilliant with the ball the other night.
01:59Ben Dwashis, Nassim Shah back in the side, and Salman Ashad rounds out the 11 for Islamabad United.
02:09Islamabad, we're thinking about picking up wickets early on this surface.
02:12Right, here we go, ball one.
02:15It's a nice shot for starters.
02:18Four runs to get underway.
02:19That's beautifully played straight away from the skipper.
02:26That's adventurous.
02:27It's up in the air.
02:28Is it a chance?
02:29It is a chance, and it's taken.
02:30Nassim Shah has taken a beauty.
02:32That is a really good catch, and it's a big wicket.
02:35I was a bit surprised with that shot, with the talent that the skipper's got.
02:39He's gone now.
02:40Good cricket from Islamabad.
02:42Didn't quite get the skid off the face of the bat he was looking for, and this is an extremely good catch from Nassim Shah.
02:47They're not easy running back over the shoulder, and that is a perfect technique.
02:53With Jubilee's safe hands.
02:54Sword Shaquille goes for 12.
02:56Quitter, 14 for 1.
03:01Bang!
03:02That's X.
03:03What a start that is.
03:05Seeing that, okay?
03:06Yeah, back in the team, man.
03:10He's the one who'll make a difference.
03:12If he gets going, doesn't take a lot of time.
03:17And he's been absolutely hammered over mid-wicket.
03:21And HVL PSL.
03:25Oh, and that's away as well.
03:27Line wasn't right.
03:28Scooped it.
03:29On its way for four.
03:30Ten off the last two.
03:35Punch down the ground.
03:37That's a beauty.
03:37You might have heard Riley Rousseau at the non-striker's end say, shot, that's a beauty.
03:42He's right.
03:46Full toss.
03:47Bunted.
03:49Out of the middle for four.
03:51You have to say it's poor bowling from Nassim Shah there.
03:57Oh, and that's strong too.
03:59My goodness, that's a beauty.
04:00What an over that is.
04:05Oh, that's flicked.
04:06Flipped for four.
04:08It's an unforced error.
04:10Four runs.
04:14Got an edge and caught.
04:16So they've broken that partnership.
04:18They had to.
04:18It was 44 off 19.
04:20Eventually, they've had some success.
04:27Slower ball.
04:29Edge through.
04:29And that's a pretty easy take for Gordie, the keeper.
04:33Little leg cutter.
04:34Simple catch.
04:37Jazz super wicket.
04:39Another one down.
04:40Queta.
04:4158 for two.
04:41Going downtown.
04:46Tenor to Perboli.
04:48And he's going to pick up six runs for starters.
04:55This is a lovely strike here from Hassan Nawaz's second ball.
04:58Just puts his foot, front foot out of the way, and he hits through the line of that ball.
05:07Short ball, slow ball, field of air, and yes!
05:10Danger man goes!
05:11The skipper takes the catch.
05:12Shadab from Islamboid United.
05:14And Hassan Nawaz, the man in form.
05:17Good catch.
05:17Pace off.
05:19Like I said, I was impressed the way he's bowling.
05:21His variation has been exceptional and consistent.
05:24He's one of the best fielders in Pakistan cricket.
05:26Shadab.
05:28Excellent catch.
05:29and they're never always easy when they're going over your shoulder
05:34so Hassan Nawaz goes to 68 for three
05:38he's trying to get the boundary
05:42I think he's got enough power to hit it straight back
05:44over Imad Wasim's head
05:47and they get a boundary
05:48again pace off
05:53but I think he times it enough to get it behind point
05:56and he'll run away for a boundary
05:58Braggs it leg side
06:02no it's in the gap
06:05I just felt that it was going straight to the man
06:08but he's got the gap and a boundary
06:10slightly slower
06:14picked up leg side
06:15and gone all the way
06:17bit more flight
06:19but Vishka Fernando on to that
06:21that is in the air
06:26will that carry
06:27field underneath it and gone
06:30Saibzada Farhan with the catch
06:32Imad Wasim gets a huge wicket
06:35Phil Allen
06:35he goes
06:37let me look at here
06:39what he says straight away
06:46he pointed in a certain point
06:48I mean I'm not a wire rule specialist
06:53Baz this is when you've got to come into your own
06:56what happens
06:57he's given out
06:59so they say there's not hit the wire
07:02anyway
07:02Phil Allen departs
07:04chip shot that look straight and is given
07:08Shadab strikes
07:10two wickets
07:14as you were convinced it was out
07:17yes quick delivery
07:21the top spinner
07:22actually fell down because the ball was so full
07:27this is huge
07:29a wicket in the last over for Imad Wasim
07:31now Shadab striking
07:33and it's Lombard United
07:35back in this big time

08:14raced away to the fence
08:15another lovely shot from Chandimal
08:17he's really turned the heat up here
08:19a little bit of width
08:24but there's a sweeper out there
08:25work to be done
08:26not going to get there
08:27that's a fine shot
08:28Chandimal's been playing beautifully
