Amir, Mills, Imad, Afridi - each of these bowlers kept coming at Quetta to make a 150 chase look like 180. If this is a sign of things to come, it will be quite a task to put up tall scores against this bowling unit. Smiles in the Karachi camp as Mickey Arthur, the national team head coach who is also in-charge of the franchise, hugs his boys and exchanges high-fives. The mood is slightly more sombre in the Quetta camp with Viv Richards offering words of consolation. So, not quite the thriller we expected but a fun contest nonetheless.

As well as they bowled, I'd pick Colin Ingram's 21-run 41 as the turning point. That gave them the impetus to post 149, and that made a huge difference in the end. Anything around 125 would've meant a different approach from Quetta.

Shahid Afridi on that super catch: These days, I try to hide myself on the field but Babar told me to field in the deep. It worked well (laughs). Fielding is an art, you have to enjoy it. If you don't, you will be found out. You have to be ready all the time. Karachi Kings is a well-balanced team.
