6.45pm That's all from us from match seven, but we'll be back for match eight very soon. Join us in under thirty minutes for Peshawar Zalmi v Quetta Gladiators.

6.32 pm Lots went right for Sultans, not so much for the Qalandars today. Maqsood and Rizwan showed no mercy and a net run rate boost like this would help later perhaps. Sultans are now fourth.

Mohammad Rizwan, winning captain: "My hard work and bravery works thanks to Allah. The way our bowlers Sohail and Dahani and Qadir started, that was great. Our lack of good performances in the death bowling was improved and so we restricted them. In any match, if you win you can't get relaxed after that. Previously we were losing despite dominating most of the match. This game we managed to carry the momentum. I don't believe in toss dictating match results and chasing teams winning. If you bowl well at the death, get the yorkers in, then chasing teams can't score. I decide toss choice by gauging team strengths."

Sohail Akhtar, losing captain: "We were 15-20 runs short, also some bad fielding. We are seeing if we can get other spinners like Rashid. His exit has affected our bowling. Hope to find a replacement."

Sohaib Maqsood: "Rizwan hit the ball really well. Rizwan told me that he'll take risk and I'll take my time. If you play 15-20 balls, you can hit the big shots after that.

Ahmed Daniyal to Sohaib Maqsood, no run, slower ball lands on a good length and springs over off stump as Maqsood nearly lets go of his bat with a wild heave way too early to the leg side.

Asif Hyat: "@abdul: Hafeez run out is the difference in this match. Chase would've been near to impossible bcause of the way he was playing." It was an important moment, but Qalandars have done themselves zero favors with their deplorable fielding. Too many chances put down, almost all of them straightforward.
