- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 Strikes in first over! Bowls an absolute beauty! Lands it on a fuller length and gets a hint of wobble from middle and it pings the top of off, Shan Masood stepped away to the on side and was looking to drive it on the up, bamboozled by the late movement and decent bounce. 2/16.1 Traps him lbw! Over the wicket, tossed up right up to the pads on middle and that little pause before releasing the ball might have confused him. Prolonged appeal for an lbw and umpire took his time before raising the dreaded finger. Seifert takes the review. Pitching outside off, impact is in line and hitting wickets so the on-field decision is upheld. Much-needed wicket for Quetta 61/26.6 Deceives him with his sorcery! Raps the front pad and it looks plumb. Tossed up on middle with some drift and he fails to flick it away, Tariq is over the moon after getting this massive breakthrough. He has turned the game on its head with this brilliant over. Vicious first-pump and a loud scream 64/312.2 Lures him with the bait and he bites it! Prances down the track and tries to change gears, slugged in the air and it hung for a while but then swooped straight to Jason Roy at long-off who pouches it comfortably in his hands. 103/413.4 Cries of catch it and Abrar Ahmed takes a stunning catch gully swooping to his right and making sure it doesn't burst out. Nawaz made room to cut but spooned it straight towards the fielder. 113/516.1 Rip through the stumps, zingers are alight. Good length and fractionally spun away from middle, he stepped to the leg side and was looking to clonk him over midwicket, misses the line and his ebullience lasted for 10 deliveries. Huge wicket 134/617.2 Arrows it in from over the wicket, hammers it on a length and it's veering at middle and leg, chipped in the air half-heartedly and it goes straight to Jason Roy at long-on. Wickets continue to tumble for Karachi Kings, who find themselves in a position similar to what they were in yesterday 138/816.3 Calmly pouched by Akeal Hosein at point! Sliced in the air, catching the splice and the rash desperate hack cost him his wicket. Not very judicious from Hasan because there are still a few overs left 136/7Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL165/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Did not bat: B MuzarabaniFall of wickets: 1-2 (Shan Masood, 0.3 ov), 2-61 (Tim Seifert, 6.1 ov), 3-64 (James Vince, 6.6 ov), 4-103 (Shoaib Malik, 12.2 ov), 5-113 (Mohammad Nawaz, 13.4 ov), 6-134 (Kieron Pollard, 16.1 ov), 7-136 (Hasan Ali, 16.3 ov), 8-138 (Irfan Khan, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.5 Tossed up on off stump, looks to big down the ground, miscues the skier and Shoaib Malik takes an easy catch running to his right, it's like he was itching to get out, the panic in the last few overs was quite evident even though the asking rate is not that taxing. Some dodgy calls for a run, expansive shots and Karachi are right back in he game now 89/45.6 Miscues the skier! Round the wicket, fraction short and delivery zoomed in at middle, got slightly big on him, he committed to the pull and Irfan Khan Niazi takes a staggering running catch at deep square This is exactly what Karachi needed, a couple more and it's game on 57/18.2 Nafay holes out to long-on! Tossed fuller just outside off, he got down on one knee for a wallop and got more elevation but just not enough distance, hit it in the longest area of the boundary, got plenty of power behind it and Zahid Mahmood is pumped up as this wicket could help put the brakes on and create some pressure 70/29.4 Looks to pump it over fine leg and gloved it to the keeper who took a sharp catch, umpire was initially getting ready to signal a wide and then changed his decision as Sarfaraz started to walk off. It was another steamy bumper that strangled him on the leg, ruffled by the searing pace and bounce 75/312.1 What a snare! Lovely wrong'un fuller outside off, plenty of flight on offer, takes the bait and pulled away in the air, didn't get all of it, Niazi at deep midwicket tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand. Quetta in a huge spot of bother, somebody has to play a blinder to halt the slip 89/5Extras2 (nb 1, w 1)TOTAL169/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-57 (Saud Shakeel, 5.6 ov), 2-70 (Khawaja Nafay, 8.2 ov), 3-75 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 9.4 ov), 4-89 (Jason Roy, 11.5 ov), 5-89 (Rilee Rossouw, 12.1 ov)
