Scorer: @Thilak_Rama | Commentator: Danyal Rasool
Faseeh: "Shadab should have taken the responsibility and showed character. He bowed down under pressure. At least him trying would have shown his resilience " That's the prevailing view. Shadab said he was waiting to bowl to right-handers and when Ben Dunk was at the crease, he was hesitant to bowl. However, in the final over, Lahore had two right-handers batting, so the decision is still mystifying.
Rashid Khan is predictably player of the match. Sohail. He expresses satisfaction with his performance, insisting there's more to come. Said it doesn't matter whether he got the chance to bat late in the innings or higher up, he just wanted to fulfil his role. Some might say he did that, and then some.
Anyhow, that's it from us here. Take care, people, and see you tomorrow!

mohsin : "Rashid khan is the most deserving player to be nominated for the man of the match prize. in bowling his economy was 2.25 per over and in batting the most crucial over he faced with 300 strike rate."

Hussain Talat to David, 1 run, it's done! Lahore Qalandars have won the most spectacular contest! A total miscue from David but the top edge cleared the wicketkeeper, allowing Lahore to knock off that final run. That inquest will be unpleasant for IU, especially handing that final over to someone who hadn't bowled at all. They've thrown away the game, really, but Lahore will take it

Hussain Talat to Rashid Khan, 1 run, mistiming but he calls David across for one, which means Lahore are guaranteed at least a Super Over. One needed off one

Hussain Talat to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, Chipped into the onside and Rashid called - no DEMANDED - two straightaway. Two off two now
Paramdev : "Rashid has shown his batting abilities in BBL, yet teams keep on wasting Rashid khan the batsman"

Hussain Talat to Rashid Khan, FOUR, Another boundary! I honestly can't believe this. Touch of fortune about this, a thick edge that beats the keeper. The decision to give Hussain Talat the final over is going to be heavily scrutinised now, especially with Shadab having an over of his own up his sleeve

Hussain Talat to Rashid Khan, FOUR, once more! Similar delivery, and all Rashid needed to do was clear the infield on the offside. No one out in the deep around the sweeper region, and Lahore now need only eight off four
