7.20pm At 63 for 5 in 10.3 overs, when Tahir was on a hat-trick, Islamabad were in danger of coming up short in their slim chase of 114. Twenty-two-year-old Talat, however, absorbed the pressure and led his team home with a sensational 34-ball 48 not out. He showed nifty footwork against the spinners and hit out against the seamers. He found decent support from Ashraf as Islamabad wrapped up their first win with five wickets and 14 balls to spare. Talat is the Player of the Match. Thanks for reading. Goodbye and good night for now
