Afridi ends with a six! But Lahore win. Full and wide outside off, Afridi makes room, and creams it over deep extra cover. Smiles in the Lahore camp. Disappointment for Karachi, but hats off to Narine. What bowling, what variation.

Match tied (Qalandars won the one-over eliminator)
12.40am That's all from us tonight. Hope you've enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of this thriller. We have a break tomorrow, but the PSL will be back on Tuesday. This is Sreshth Shah, and on behalf of Raghav MV, signing off now. Thanks for your company - adios!
Here's Mr. Cool, Sunil Narine: "I wanted to keep things simple. What's important are the first two balls. Being able to bowl a few dots was the key. The wicket was important too. It didn't help that I was bowling to Lendl Simmons, he knows my game. No matter what a spinner bowls, batsmen can get under it, so I tried to bowl flat. Brendon asked me whether I wanted to bowl, so I told him 'I'd try my best'"
12.30am If there was one game that deserved such a finish, it's probably a Karachi-Lahore encounter. Handshakes all around, but both teams are smiling. That's the kind of finish we like. Karachi stay on third. We're waiting for news on Imad Wasim, though. Nothing official yet on that front.
full on off stump, and it's been bunted over Narine to long off. McCullum in the deep there
full and quick! That's 116 kph and Simmons has no clue. Full on leg stump, and he can't clip this away. Goes to the leg side
what a great catch! McClenaghan dives forward at fine leg and holds on. It's the offspinner on middle stump, and turning away from Ingram. He tries the slog-sweep, but top edged. Took ages to come down, but McClenaghan was under it. Fist-pump from Narine. When was the last time you saw him show some emotions?!
knee-high full toss on off stump. Big swing from Simmons, but mistimes his slog to Fakhar at cow corner. They need 11 (technically 10) to win off four
Ghumman: "Please any update about Imad?" -- nothing yet, but you'll be the first to know. As soon as we know something.
good length on middle stump, it's the one that straightens. Carved off the back foot to point, but no chance of a single
Lendly Simmons and Colin Ingram walk out. Right-left combination. Lendl's coming out without a helmet,
Narine's warming up for Lahore. He's bowled a maiden in the Super Over before. Even Shaheen Afridi is warming up. Hmm, Lahore keeping their cards close to their chest.
Eleven for Karachi would also do it tonight. They're ahead on boundary count.
short on leg stump, shuffles across to the off side and pulls along the carpet to deep backward square. McCullum wants the second, but that's harakiri. He's run out, and ,Karachi need 12 to win
ow full toss on off stump, McCullum gets his front foot out of the way and smacks this inside-out over mid off. One-bounce four. A crucial boundary that takes Lahore to double digits
back of a length on leg stump, Devcich backs away and lifts this over midwicket. Two men in the deep, though
low full toss on middle stump, slapped to Babar at cover. Could've easily sneaked under his bat, so well played by BMac
another extra! It's all happening tonight in Dubai. Full and wide outside off, after noticing McCullum preparing for the ramp. Pushed too wide, and pays the price for that
full on leg stump, and Devcich can't flick this to the leg side. Cramps him for room, and hits his front pad. The ball goes trickles down to the off side for a run
good length on leg stump, but too wayward this time. Amir sees Devcich backing away, and tries to follow him. But the line is all wrong, and goes down the leg side. Gotta bowl that again
good length on middle stump, pulled along the ground to deep midwicket. One is comforably taken, but BMac wants the second. Fakhar is slow to get back, especially since he started off from the back foot. And yes, he's run out! Rocket throw from deep midwicket. Lahore have one wicket remaining
