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

19.1
W
Raza to Milne, OUT

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

18.4
W
Haris Rauf to Khushdil, OUT

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

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Khushdil, FOUR runs

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

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Khushdil, SIX runs

Plenty of oomph behind that smack, plants his front leg, presses forward and uncoils a muscular hit over cow corner, man in form
