Dragged on! Over the wicket, tossed up and he tries to whip it down the leg-side but ends up making a big mess of his stumps. Lahore win it at a canter. It was a back of the hand delivery that didn't bounce at all
Qalandars vs Kings, 6th Match at Karachi, PSL, Apr 15 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Fakhar Zaman, Player of the Match: As a opener, whichever opener scores for any team, it increases their chances to win. We thought it's a 170 wicket but credit goes to our bowlers to restrict them. My role has always been of an aggressor no matter which side I play for. It wasn't coming easily on the bat so we planned to build partnership and we thought if we keep wickets in hand, we can make runs in the end. After the previous match, I said I wasn't in full flow and I'm not trying to be ungrateful but it's still not full flow and you need time to get back to full form after injury
Lahore Qalandars register a massive triumph over Karachi Kings, giving their net run-rate a significant boost. This was a bold statement from Lahore and with their potent bowling attack, it was always going to be tough for Karachi. Karachi's big guns lost their wickets early, leaving them virtually out of the game within the first 10 overs. Shaheen Afridi will be mighty pleased with how things went today, including his own performance. Rishad was on a roll, picking up three wickets while Raza chipped in with two but it was Shaheen's early dent in the powerplay that set the tone. The seamers maintained relentless pressure and wickets continued to tumble. Earlier, Fakhar and Mitchell did fantastic work rebuilding the innings, pushing Lahore past 200--a total that proved more than sufficient. Everything fell into place for Lahore tonight
Massive swipe across the line; banged in short just outside off, threw the kitchen sink at it
Aiming for a yorker on middle, inside-out chip over extra cover and it's a long chase for Raza in the deep who does well to prevent a four
Chopped it on back onto the stumps; gave himself room by backing away for a cut. It was a leg-cutter on back of a length and on a tighter off-stump line, Khushdil's fireworks end with Lahore just one wicket away from a big win
Around the wicket, scurries in, lands it short and gets it to jag back from the channel, goes over the top of off and beats his ambitious pull
Thumped hard into the surface and rises around the line off, goes for a pull looking a bit ungainly
Over the wicket, back of a length and width offered, stands tall and hits it with aplomb over long-on for a six, picked the slower one and send it soaring into the stands
Dug in short on off, rises steeply off the deck, goes for the pull and is unable to lay bat on it
Banged in short, curled back in a shade at off-stump, goes for the pull and fails to connect
Back of a length and just inside the tramline on off, reaches out and gets a bit of an inside edge
Tries to whip it over leg-side and gets a top-edge that flies away past deep third and it's once bounce over the rope, providing entertainment with his power-hitting
Once again camped deep in the crease, gets a length ball that comes back in at him, belts it down the floor to long-on, Haris dives but the ball was traveling, hit very hard
Plenty of oomph behind that smack, plants his front leg, presses forward and uncoils a muscular hit over cow corner, man in form
Slightly short and tighter at off-stump, crunches it out to extra cover
Another pace-off delivery; length and slanting away from off, likes the cranberries on offer and munches it inside-out over extra cover for four
Slackens the pace, on a length and angles it across off, tries to drag a pull across the line and misses it completely
Scythes it to point for a quick single
Goes full and fires into the stumps, goes hard and gets the toe-end and the ball trickles away to fine leg boundary
Over the wicket, goes full and wide of off, pushed to long-off
Rolls his fingers; slower back of a length ball on middle, picked it and tugged it away with lot of oomph, beating the man near long leg
