That's it from this game. Thank you for tuning in. See you again tomorrow with more PSL action. Ciao!

Faheem Ashraf, Player of the Match: Pitch was totally different today, length ball was bouncing more than usual. This is not what we usually see in PSL across different pitches in Pakistan. I'm always ready to bowl at any stage of the game and do my practice in a manner that readies me for the game situation. We were going for maximum total, didn't have a set target in mind.

It's a sorry-looking scorecard, with only Talat showing some resistance. Nobody else really got going. Faheem Ashraf was expensive but made regular incisions, finishing with a fifer. Mohammad Amir got the massive wicket of Babar Azam in the third over and won the battle within the battle. The pacers generally read the pitch quickly, took cues from the first innings, and bowled relentlessly on a back-of-a-length, making full use of the fierce - and sometimes uneven - bounce. Khurram shed two, Wasim attacked the stumps incessantly, and it's looking like one of the best bowling attacks this PSL. It was an abject surrender from Peshawar on a tricky pitch, and the batters couldn't adjust; no real contributions from the top order didn't help either. Earlier, Saud Shakeel got the total he was aiming for and it proved more than enough on this wicket. Solid contributions propelled the score close to 180. Quetta move to third while Peshawar are precariously placed at fifth on the points table after this game

15.2
W
Faheem to Sufiyan Muqeem, OUT

Around the wicket, back of a length and shaping it back at him, he makes some room and can't clear mid-off; didn't get all of it as Quetta register an emphatic win; it's been a terrific all-round performance

Abrar Ahmed to Ali Raza, no run

Leg and first slip in place. Tossed up wicket to wicket, gets behind line and defends it with aplomb

14.5
W
Abrar Ahmed to Talat, OUT

Slower in the air, length and angled wide of off, wafts it and finds Rossouw at point; he has been kept busy, smiles all around in the field and the faint hope goes up in the smoke with this wicket, last recognized batter. Abrar gave a lot of width and the shot was on but he didn't offer much pace and he couldn't place it in the gap; it was a tough ask nevertheless, Talat needed some support

Abrar Ahmed to Talat, SIX runs

Cries of catch it up, pitched up in his hitting arc and he doesn't need any second invitation, pounds it downtown and Allen jumped but can't pouch it, mistimed a jump little bit

Hassan : "Hussain is the last hope, I am still awake to see a miracle from him."
