- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Early breakthrough for Lahore Qalandars! Slightly shorter of a length and gets a hint of nibble outside off, Haider went hard at it and hits it straight down Kamran Ghulam's throat at point. Dilbar leaps in joy, this has been a probing over! 9/112.4 Smiting Rauf high into the Lahore night but not quite getting it far enough, David Wiese settles underneath the skier at mid-off and pouches it safely while reverse cupping it. Massive wicket, Couldn't get underneath on this occasion and the ball thudded high on the splice of the bat, undone by the slowness of the delivery 117/47.1 Talat gets the big fish as Tahir picks up the slower one and miscues the ramp shot as Dilbar gobbles it up at fine leg and gets the danger man out, didn't come off the middle of the bat and he finds the man to perfection, that's the end of Tahir's PSL 8 campaign 79/27.6 Another one bites the dust! What an over it turned out to be for Talat, dibbly-dobbly bowler gets his second wicket as Akram spoons it straight to Dadswell at point who swallows it up with minimal fuss 83/317.5 Knocked him over! Imad Wasim got too far outside the stumps as he tried to scoop it behind square on leg, was nowhere near the line of the ball and Zaman rearranges his stumps and lights up the zingers as a quickfire 45-run-knock from Karachi Kings' captain comes to an end, he has been remarkable throughout PSL 8, scored fluently and seldom disappointed with the bat 169/518.4 That's a good riposte from Haris Rauf who pitched it up, a deadly inswinging yorker that tenderises his pad, the umpire agrees and raises the dreaded finger. Cutting takes the review, flat line on the ultra edge as he attempted a flick through the leg side, pitching in line, impact line and it would have gone on to crash the leg stump, Cutting starts to take the long walk back to the pavilion 185/619.2 Good length on middle, he goes for the heave through the leg side but finds Talat at deep square who took a few steps to his left and caught it like a bird catches its prey. 191/7Extras6 (nb 1, w 5)TOTAL196/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Haider Ali, 0.5 ov), 2-79 (Tayyab Tahir, 7.1 ov), 3-83 (Qasim Akram, 7.6 ov), 4-117 (Muhammad Akhlaq, 12.4 ov), 5-169 (Imad Wasim, 17.5 ov), 6-185 (Ben Cutting, 18.4 ov), 7-191 (Irfan Khan, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Perishes early in the piece! Back of a length, slanting outside off, goes for the pull and it came off the top-edge, Ben Cutting backpedals a few steps, keeps his balance and hangs onto it brilliantly, what a celebration from the youngster, not roaring but just holding his ground and soaking in the moment while raising his finger 16/13.6 Shorter and leg sidish, it's an open invitation for Shafique to launch it over square leg but he finds Tayyab Tahir at deep square who didn't have to a muscle, gobbles it up gleefully and that's a soft dismissal, harmless delivery but Akif gets his man! 20/25.3 Timber! Pace off the ball, shorter length, getting a hint of movement off the pitch, it was way too close to cut and a tentative poke at it ends up disturbing the furniture. Doesn't seem like the smartest option when the ball is that close to off stump. Karachi Kings storming into the driving seat 31/38.4 Gottim! Scorching delivery hits on a shorter length and the ball was climbing on him, the serious pace draws an edge that rockets to the keeper, just flings the bat out and gets a faint edge. Massive wicket for Kings who are all over Qalandars 54/412.6 Karachi Kings haven't let themselves down in catching! A sprawling catch from Ben Cutting at long-off and a mighty roar from Imran Tahir whose love for the game is infectious, he runs as if its his eureka moment and is running all over the ground, it didn't come of the meat of the bat and Cutting was stationed perfectly for this miscued wallop 74/711.1 Miscues the skier, tossed up on a length on off and tempted him to bring out his long levers, he obliges and picked the bones out of it, it went miles up into the night sky before Irfan at long-on shows some nifty footwork on the rope to cling onto the catch 66/512.1 Cries of catch it and it's that man again, Irfan Khan takes an absolute screamer! Zips it in quicker on fifth stump line, he shovels it away to long off who came rushing in and takes an absolute ripper. 71/614.6 Sumptuous googly on a fuller length and it turns viciously off the deck, he can't lay bat on it 79/718.5 Springs down the track, loses his shape and chips it straight to Fuller at cover who sticks his hands out and takes a regulation catch. Karachi Kings get a consolation win and manage another massive victory over their arch-rivals by 86 runs! 110/915.5 Arm ball pings the top of middle! Tried to whack it out of the park but didn't pick the length and was too early into the pull, the ball spun sharply as he left a big gap 88/8Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL110 all out (18.5 Overs, RR: 5.84)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Fakhar Zaman, 2.2 ov), 2-20 (Abdullah Shafique, 3.6 ov), 3-31 (Kamran Ghulam, 5.3 ov), 4-54 (Sam Billings, 8.4 ov), 5-66 (David Wiese, 11.1 ov), 6-71 (Shane Dadswell, 12.1 ov), 7-74 (Hussain Talat, 12.6 ov), 8-79 (Rashid Khan, 14.6 ov), 9-88 (Dilbar Hussain, 15.5 ov), 10-110 (Haris Rauf, 18.5 ov)
