7.20pm What a knock from Misbah! What a partnership too, with Sammy. All those years of experience really counted in the end, and this win means Zalmi have qualified for the play-offs. Misbah finishes with 59 not out, having added a round 100 for the sixth wicket with Sammy, which is a new PSL record. Where did it all go wrong for Qalandars? They had the game in their hands when Zalmi were 20 for 5. For his game-changing knock, Misbah is the Player of the Match.
"To qualify for the play-offs was the first objective," says Zalmi captain Darren Sammy. "We've got one game left, hopefully we can seal that top two spot. We're united, we win together, we lose together."
Muneeb Saeed: "cometh the moment, cometh the man! What an innings from King Misbah! "
Abdul Khan: "Misbah ul haq loves the Abu Dhabi stadium. He has a great record and it would be a great way to end his time in Abu Dhabi. Love you King"
Abhijato: "The last over kept us on the edge of our seats. These veterans of the game have shown us what experience and temperament can help you achieve. It's been an insightful experience for both cricket fans and young players watching the game. The PSL is leaving us breathless with its production of one timeless thriller after another... Cheers to tapes for holding these creaky bones together, the PCB for organising this tournament, and Cricinfo for making cricket easier to follow and love!"
Ashish Poudel: "I am very unhappy for Shishir ... I think he will die single : ) "

Lamichhane to Wahab Riaz, 1 run, tapped to short third man, they take on the fielder and complete a remarkable chase!
And now ten Doeschate will go off. He's hurt his back and can't continue. Lamichhane will finish the over, Wahab Riaz on strike. Super over, anyone?

ten Doeschate to Misbah-ul-Haq, 3 runs, overthrows! Misbah clips to midwicket, and they take on the fielder for a second run. The throw from the deep by Fakhar is not a great one, and the keeper can't collect it cleanly either, giving away another run. And they're level
Misbah is on strike. Oh dear, and ten Doeschate seems to have hurt his back as well. Drama. Lamichhane to finish the over?? No, ten Doeschate is good to go

ten Doeschate to Wahab Riaz, 1 run, short, and it's pulled down to fine leg, where the fielder collects on the bounce
Five balls remain, Zalmi need five runs from them

ten Doeschate to Sammy, OUT, Sammy is floored! The ball keeps a little low, Sammy swings hard at it, but it zips under the bat and into the stumps. He loses his balance trying to play the shot too. Ten Doeschate comes over himself to help Sammy up

ten Doeschate to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, dropped at fine leg! It was a really tough chance. Misbah swung the ball very hard down to fine leg, and Sohail Akhtar had to dive to get down low at the dipping chance. He got there, but couldn't hold on as he hit the ground
Sujan from Nepal: "Shishir, please propose the girl if Sandy defends the match in last over. Sandy, please win this match for Shishir and us. " -- Sorry everyone, Ryan ten Doeschate will bowl the last over

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Sammy, no run, another excellent yorker from Afridi, and Sammy can do nothing with this one
