Imperious! In the slot and he does not miss out. Basit seals the final berth with a glory shot straight over the bowler's head, one bounce over the rope, class written all over it.
Warriors vs Royals, Qualifier 2 at Lahore, PJL, Oct 20 2022 - Match Result
Royals won by 9 wickets (with 31 balls remaining)
Take a bow, Basit Ali! He has been in stellar form in this tournament and scored a fluent unbeaten knock of 91 today in the crucial match. The highest-run scorer of PJL is definitely one for the future. Royals have romped to the victory and chased down 133 with 31 balls in the tank. Earlier, the Warriors scrapped their way to 132/9 and kept losing wickets at regular intervals which prevented them from scoring a competitive total. Arham Nawab used his cunning spinning methods and chipped in with two wickets, conceding only 21 runs in his spell while Obaid Shahid and Mohammad Zeeshan took two wickets apiece. Do join us tomorrow for the final between Bahawalpur Royals and Gwadar Sharks. Until next time this is Rvel Zahid signing off.
Makes room and scythes this away off the backfoot, hares for a couple and gets it
Lobbed up on a fuller length, turning away outside off, goes back and chops it away
Tossed up on a fuller length outside off, slammed over cover and it falls away from the man at deep, just one hit away now
Slaughtered to the covers off the backfoot, too short and it's a freebie that Basit pounces on, trickles away to the rope
Drags his length back, a hint of inward seam movement from wide of off, flexes his muscles and tugs it away along the carpet to deep square
Driven on the up down the ground
Attempted yorker, low full toss, brute force in those wrists as he drags it down to long-on
Shorter and wide of off, smites it on the rise into the covers
Goes fuull and angled into middle and leg, slugged to deep square who rushes to his right and pings a sharp throw
Banged in short, climbed off the deck, too high and given wide
Juicy delivery in his arc and that's a delicious boundary off the backfoot, impeccable timing and placement, it has got the legs to reach the boundary
On a length, angled in and straightening down the line outside off, worked to the on side and they scurry through a run, direct hit would have been curtains
Goes off the radar, sprays it outside leg stump, wide given
Pitched it on a full length, swinging away outside off, drills it down the ground, hits it through the line
Searing yorker, tailing into off stump, digs it out
That's a clanger from the keeper, slower delivery, angling down leg, rolled his fingers and he got a faint tickle and dribbles away to to tthe fence
Shortens his length, around the line off, carted down to square leg
Short and pulled away insolently, that's served on a plate and he helps it on its way behind square on the leg side, you can't bowl there to a set batter
Back of a length, floating outside off, gets down low to it, opens the face of the bat and steers it down to third man
