Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars, Pakistan Super League 2018, 8th Match

11.46pm Too good for the second night running have been the Karachi Kings. They first recovered from a faltering start to post 159, a score that was well above par. But then they came out and bowled far too well for the Lahore Qalandars, whose keep-going T20 approach hasn't worked in the slower pitches of Dubai. Karachi continue to hold their spot at the top of the standings, with three wins in three games. Lahore are on the other end of that spectrum, with plenty of work to do after losing three in three.

Shahid Afridi is the Man of the Match
