Commentary

Anurag D: That's it from the comm box. It was a pleasure bringing the live updates of this game. See you all tomorrow for the coverage of the 12th match in the PSL 2021. Till then bbyee from me, Anurag Dasgupta, along with my co-commentators, Vikhyat and Abhishek.

Anurag D: Shaheen Afridi was declared the man-of-the-match for his 3 for 27.

Anurag D: Kings captain Imad Wasim on that loss: "The left-handers were in there so I thought Nabi should bowl four overs [instead of me]. It wasn't doing much. I thought we had good enough bowlers to cope with it but unfortunately not. They played really well. At the end, we didn't capitalize what we should have with the start we had with the bowling. They shouldn't have chased it down but credit goes to Fakhar and David Wiese how they played. Sometimes you have to give credit to the other team as well. At the end, we should have scored 40 or 50 off the last four overs but we couldn't unfortunately with some bad shots and runouts. It's a part of the game and hopefully we'll learn from it and come back. They bowled really well both of them [Shaheen Afridi and Amir], very good bowlers. It's a good thing for Pakistan cricket that they're still our best bowlers."

Anurag D: Man of the moment, David Wiese after that victory: "To be honest, I always felt we were in with a shout in that situation. I think the guys played it beautifully in the middle to put in a good partnership and get us in position. We've seen towards the back end it's difficult to defend here with one short boundary. So we knew if we just kept in touch about 12 an over the whole time, anything could happen if we take it deep. Sometimes you smash it straight to the fielder so those little nicks count. I think the wickets are really good. It's sliding on nicely. I don't think it's a lack of bowler skill. The bowlers bowl nicely but with one short side, sometimes it gets away from you. It's difficult once you get momentum against you as a bowler, then an inside edge goes for four, an outside edge goes for four. It's awesome to have crowds back again and just feel that energy out here. I love coming to Pakistan. It's an awesome place to play and they always show so much love here."

Anurag D: Fakhar Zaman played an outstanding innings of 83 of a mere 54 deliveries before he was eventually dismissed by Dan Christian. But the big game changer was David Wiese, as he smoked 29 of just 9 deliveries to take his side past the winning line with 4 balls to spare.

Anurag D: With three wickets down, It was the partnership between Fakhar Zaman and Ben Dunk that brought the Qalandars back in the game. The duo shared a 119 run partnership for the 4th wicket and that changed the match scenario completely.

Anurag D: Mohammad Hafeez joined hands with Fakhar Zaman in the middle, but the professor couldn't continue his rich vein of form, as the destructive batsman was sent back to the pavilion by a peach of a delivery by Waqas Maqsood.

Anurag D: Chasing 187 on a flat wicket here at Karachi, The Lahore Qalandars got off to a worst possible start as their captain, Sohail Akhtar was run-out in the very first over without even facing a single delivery. Joe Denly also departed for a duck as the Englishman was dismissed by a ripper from Mohammad Amir.

Anurag D: Match done and dusted! Lahore Qalandars have won the match with 6 wickets in hand. That was some chase by the Qalandars. With this victory, the team from Lahore has 6 points in table with three victories out of the possible four.

Anurag D: David Wiese was the game changer. What a cameo!

19.2 Daniel Christian to David Wiese

4 And that's the game. It was short from Christain and Wiese knows only one way out. He hooks this and it goes flying towards the square leg boundary for a four. Just bounces before the ropes. Take a bow, David Wiese. What a knock this has been. Fully deserves all the accolades that he is getting here. 29 off just nine balls. The South African just killed the game for Karachi

Anurag D: With that six, the game looks done and dusted. Just 4 more needed.

19.1 Daniel Christian to David Wiese

6 Good length ..well well well...You don't ball that in the last over Dan Christian. Wiese smashes it over the bowlers head for a six. He has almost won it for Qalandars
