Guess there was a miscommunication by TV earlier. Fakhar Zaman has officially been presented with Man of the Match honors and check after the win at post-match presentation. Anyway, that's it for today's coverage. Come back tomorrow for more PSL coverage. For Danyal Rasool, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!
Chris Gayle has just snapped up the hat for leading scorer and Afridi now holds the cap for leading wicket-taker in PSL 2021.
10.45 pm So Lahore makes it two from two. Quetta on the other hand are now winless after their first two matches.
Mohammad Hafeez: "I believe this is something I'm working on in the last one and a half years, where I'm not trying to hit it really hard, just time the ball and get power behind it. So that's really working for me. I need to work really hard to get these things and I'm really happy it's working for me at the moment."
Gladiators captain Sarfaraz Ahmed: (Translated from Urdu) "Batting is well and good but bowling and fielding wins you matches. We were terrible in both departments and no surprises we lose the game. I batted well but I've been batting well in the nets. On a day like this that doesn't matter."

Mohammad Hasnain to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, another drive by Hafeez to the rope appropriately finishes it. In the slot wide on sixth stump, leans forward and smokes this flat over extra cover. Whistles away to end it. The teams shake hands. Gayle wants to have a look at The Professor's bat. Even though Gayle made 68, he's a bit envious of what Hafeez did out there just now. What a performance, arguably overshadowing Fakhar who ended with nine more runs that Hafeez but the Professor seals a nine-wicket win with 10 balls to spare.
Ryan: "I think Professor has a point to prove to the PCB."

Mohammad Hasnain to Mohammad Hafeez, no run, full on fourth stump, driven firmly but straight to mid-off.

Usman Shinwari to Mohammad Hafeez, FOUR, Hafeez doffs his university commencement cap! Overpitched on middle searching for the yorker, doesn't get the length right, Hafeez smokes a drive flat over the non-striker's stumps that whistles past the umpire to the rope.
Malik Murad: "Waiting for the moment when Hafeez and Sarfraz shaking hands finally, may be a little hug :)"

Usman Shinwari to Mohammad Hafeez, 2 runs, another slower ball lands short on off, Hafeez keeps his hands back to pull this through midwicket, sliding stop on the rope before a relay in for a second. 100 partnership comes up with that shot. Second one in the match.
