- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.4 a juggle at long-on, but Kohler-Cadmore manages to cling on. He does most of the hard work easily enough, moving to his right to get under the ball, but what should have been an easy catch becomes a hair-raising experience as the ball pops out once, twice and finally, just before it hits the turf, he sticks out his left hand and gains control of it. Tamim's dash down the pitch for a heave over the boundary doesn't quite work out 58/41.3 chops on! The centurion from a few nights ago is out for a duck in the Eliminator. Excellent bowling from Rahat. He's been bowling at rapid pace in this PSL, and it shows here, with an in-form batsmen being a bit late on the ball. Kamran attempts to guide it through point, but it gets a bit big on him, secures the inside edge and clatters into the stumps 9/12.2 sensational running catch from Thisara! He is at mid-on as the ball sails over his head, looking to break through the stratosphere, but he knows it is horribly timed. He runs and runs, flat out, tracking the ball over his shoulder, which is pretty hard work. Then reaches out with both hands and claims his prize. Superb cricket! But he's not done yet. His momentum means he's almost at the wide long-on boundary, and is about to usher the ball over it. So he hits the brakes, changes direction and runs over to celebrate with a band of grateful team-mates 10/27.3 the bowler knocks over off stump, and Sarfraz knocks over the rest! Hafeez premeditates a sweep and the offspinner fires in an arm ball, sneaking under the bat swing and nailing the target. Lovely stuff from Mahmudullah 54/317.5 he has a fourth! Rahat is single-handedly winning this for Quetta. On a flat batting track, he has been simply irresistible with his pace and bounce. Even the in-form Dawson is unable to deal with the left-arm quick - although on this occasion it's a slower ball that does the trick. Bangs it into the deck, keeps it wide of the batsman. Dawson swings hard, gets a bottom edge through 137/812.4 Thisara with a super catch, again! He runs to his left from long-on, leaps to get in line with a ball that is still set to go over his head, but then he sticks out his hands, takes it cleanly, and then comes down well within the boundary line. Special stuff to end an innings that was going nowhere fast. Nasim's gone, Peshawar struggling 86/515.2 chips it straight to short midwicket. The idea is to get a single, return the strike to Dawson, but Asif's plans of shuffling across outside off to get the ball over the leg-side infield are foiled by a Rahat Ali slower ball. 112/617.3 top-edge lands safely in square leg's hands! Rahat's extra pace and bounce traps the Peshawar captain. Quetta have done their homework. There were no full deliveries to Sammy, which he absolutely loves. Targeted his body, forced him to pull or hook, and eventually the mis-hit came 137/719.4 uproots the off stump as Wahab goes for a slog sweep, the bat swinging over the dipping ball on its way to its target. 156/919.6 taken at long-off. Hasan has to go for the big hit, especially with this being a length ball outside off, but he mistimes it and Kohler-Cadmore is around to complete the catch 157/10Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL157 all out (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Kamran Akmal, 1.3 ov), 2-10 (Andre Fletcher, 2.2 ov), 3-54 (Mohammad Hafeez, 7.3 ov), 4-58 (Tamim Iqbal, 8.4 ov), 5-86 (Saad Nasim, 12.4 ov), 6-112 (Umaid Asif, 15.2 ov), 7-137 (Daren Sammy, 17.3 ov), 8-137 (Liam Dawson, 17.5 ov), 9-156 (Wahab Riaz, 19.4 ov), 10-157 (Hasan Ali, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 edged and taken! Strikes first ball. Good length just outside off, but angling into the batsman. Tries to punch off the back foot and takes the outside edge. Comfortably held on by Sammy at first slip 0/12.1 he's got his second! Good length outside off, and nips away after pitching. He's driving nonetheless, and induces a small outside edge. Pocketed by Akmal, and the keeper appeals. Hasan follows Akmal's appeal, and umpire Dar raises his finger 17/29.4 holes out! Taken at third man. Back of a length outside off and Nawaz comes down the ground. Tries to flat bat this over the bowler, but takes the bat's bottom edge. In the air for ages, allowing the outfielder to get under that catch. Peshawar needed a breakthrough and now they have it 80/39.5 two in two! And how things have turned. Sameen, you beauty. Both set batsmen have been sent back and this match has turned on its head! Short on middle stump, and Sarfraz tries to pull. The bat turns in his hands, and takes the top edge. It's a skier, and Kamran calls early for the catch. He ain't dropping that and Darren Sammy is pumped! 80/415.4 full outside off, tries to slash hard at it, but he's sliced it. In the air for ages, but Hasan Ali has all the time in the world for that. Takes a few steps in front - from deep point - and takes a nice catch. The ball was swirling in the air, but the fielder stayed composed. Rossouw goes for a 14-ball 8 117/615.2 breaks off stump! Full on off stump, and Mahmudullah tries to smack this over the bowler's head. He misses, and the bowler hits! Takes top of off stump. The batsman played down the wrong line there 116/518.3 holes out to long on! Taken by Jordan, the sub. Full and wide outside off, and Perera drags his slog to the leg side. Straight to long on, and Jordan has to bend slightly down to complete the catch. Peshawar firmly on top now 132/718.5 edged! And that's the second wicket of the over. Good length on off stump, and Hasan tries to run this down fine. Gets bat on ball, but ends up edging it straight to Akmal. Quetta need 25 off 7 133/819.6 Peshawar win by one! Full toss on middle stump, and it's been smacked over Dawson! Dropped at long on but he's quick to throw it back in. The batsmen try to take the second, but they can't make it. Dawson takes the bails off at the non-striker's and Quetta Gladiators are eliminated. 156/9Extras14 (lb 10, w 4)TOTAL156/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Did not bat: Rahat AliFall of wickets: 1-0 (Asad Shafiq, 0.1 ov), 2-17 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 2.1 ov), 3-80 (Mohammad Nawaz, 9.4 ov), 4-80 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 9.5 ov), 5-116 (Mahmudullah, 15.2 ov), 6-117 (Rilee Rossouw, 15.4 ov), 7-132 (Thisara Perera, 18.3 ov), 8-133 (Hassan Khan, 18.5 ov), 9-156 (Mir Hamza, 19.6 ov)
