- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.4 overpitched on off stump, Duminy misses the flick to the leg side and hits his front leg. Big appeal and given! Plumb. The ball comes in with the angle and traps the left-hander in front of off stump. Hales wants Duminy to walk back 5/13.3 taken next ball! Straight to the bowler, and he's quick to react. Good length outside off, and punched straight back to young Irfan. The ball got big on Hales and he did not adjust. Big wicket 17/210.2 drifts in a quicker delivery from wide of the crease, he looks to give this a proper whack over long-on but misses it completely as the off stump is flattened. Afridi brings out his trademark celebration. Islamabad in all sorts of trouble. The umpires checked a number of times to confirm Afridi wasn't too far wide of the crease while delivering that. 63/58.6 breaks the leg stump! Tossed up final ball, and Misbah goes down on one knee for the big slog. Can't hit the ball, and the delivery goes under his bat and onto the stumps. Enticed Misbah for the slog, and Afridi earns his wicket. Doesn't celebrate, perhaps as a sign of respect. And now Afridi's getting treatment on his lower back and left knee 52/39.5 full outside off, and slashes hard at it. But the ball's too far away from him, forcing Hussain to reach at it, and it's been sliced. Taken in the deep. Played it too square than he intended to 61/413.4 Mills comes from around the stumps and has his revenge this time. Floats in a length ball from wide of the crease, the ball keeps a touch low to sneak past the batsman's defense. 103/614.2 has he miscued this? Oh, yes. He has. Looked to slap this over mid-off but couldn't get any timing behind that. As easy as catches go. Amir banged the ball in, this skidded on much faster than the batsman expected. The slide continues after a brief spurt. Amir pats Shadab as he runs over to celebrate with his mates. 105/716.3 clean bowled. 'You miss, I hit' policy. Angles in a length ball from wide of the crease, once again he looked to swing across the line, missed it completely and heard the rattle of timber. 113/818.3 high in the air, so high that you could've had a cup of tea before settling underneath. Afridi called for it at point and completed the catch. He looked to pull from outside off and ended up slicing it high. 123/918.6 as plumb as umpiring decisions come. Full, straight and honing in towards the stumps from around the wicket. this hits him flush on the toe and would've gone on to crash into the stumps. What a stunning bowling performance from Karachi Kings. Usman Shinwari has been magnificent all evening.The batsman reviewed for the heck of it, well knowing there was little chance of the decision being overturned.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.5 given lbw! But he reviews. Good length on off stump, but Manzoor opens his stance to slog towards the leg side. Wild swing from Manzoor, but he misses, and it hits his back leg. Impact in front of middle, and the ball would've gone on break leg stump. There's the first wicket 33/17.5 Denly's done! Third time, lucky, Faheem. Good length on middle stump and he makes room once again to slap this over cover. The ball stays low, and zips under his bat. Takes the top of middle. 69/28.6 finds the edge! Full on off stump, and Morgan prods forward. Tries to defend, but the ball takes a feather touch. Sharp take from the keeper! 72/3Extras12 (lb 6, w 6)TOTAL125/3 (17 Overs, RR: 7.35)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Khurram Manzoor, 3.5 ov), 2-69 (Joe Denly, 7.5 ov), 3-72 (Eoin Morgan, 8.6 ov)
