So, that is it from our side. Catch Akshay, Arya and Karthik in the next game in the PSL double header tonight. This is me Kingshuk, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators from this exceptional game of T20 cricket.
Usman Khawaja | It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed batting the 20 overs. It was a great team effort considering there were several players not playing. I won't be taking anything away from the bowlers considering the main bowlers were resting. We were one short in the bowling department and I think that they did a great job.
Usman Khawaja, the stand-in captain of Islamabad United has been named the man of the match.
Wahab Riaz, Zalmi captain | We were one bowler short but we could have restricted them to 160-170 if the bowlers bowled according to their field and executed their plans. We are disappointed, but this was also our first-day game here in the second leg, so we will try to do better next time and come back stronger.
Zalmi were one bowler short and that was clear in the way they were unable to execute their plans. But at the end of the day they did well to provide entertainment to the viewers of PSL. Sameen Gul, Umaid Asif and Abrar Ahmed had a forgettable night for Zalmis and would hope to execute their plans better next time around.
The efforts of Usman Khawaja and Hasan need to on a special mention tonight, as the former made a blistering hundred to get his team to the highest score of the tournament, and the latter bowled with exceptional control to give away just 30 runs from four overs in a day where bowlers got thrown out of the park.
A breathtaking game of cricket comes to an end that had a total of 479 runs scored in the game. A brilliant day out for league leaders Islamabad United all around, after they started on a lovely note with their batting and then returned to take early scalps to put the lid on the chase very early in the second innings. Zalmi did very well to not let their run rate drop and scored 232 runs at the end of the day courtesy, some breathtaking hitting from Kamran Akmal and Shoaib Malik, who were ably aided by the likes of Sherfane Rutherford and Wahab Riaz.

19.6 A Javed to W Riaz
1 Another length delivery on the stumps and Riaz gets a single down long-off. Islamabad United win by 15 runs.
19.5 A Javed to U Asif
1 Another single. Brilliant yorker outside off and Asif gets the inside part of the bat down long-on and gives the strike back to Wahab Riaz for the final delivery.
19.4 A Javed to W Riaz
1 Another single and that should be it for the Zalmi. Length on the stump and Riaz manages to get it down midwicket region for a single, not from the middle of the bat.
19.3 A Javed to U Asif
1 Top bowling from Javed. In the blockhole and Asif digs it out and flicks it down deep midwicket only for a single.
19.2 A Javed to W Riaz
1 Only a single, again clears his front leg and smashes the length delivery only as far as the long-off fielder for a single.
19.1 A Javed to W Riaz
2 A couple to start the over. Length on the stumps, Riaz clears his front leg and goes for a big shot down the ground, ends up getting an inside edge down the deep fine leg region and has enough time to return for a couple. A run-out appeal but Riaz is comfortably home there.

Hasan Ali
1-31(4.1)
Kingshuk: Ohh, this might end up being a very tight finish at the end. Oh, hold up folks, short run has been called, and by a whisker too.
18.6 H Ali to U Asif
1 Scarmble for two from the Zalmi batsman, but it has been called a short run. They were desperate to get the extra run and give Wahab back to the strike, but that has resulted in a short run.
18.6 H Ali to U Asif
2 A couple to end the over, A full toss on the stumps and Asif manages to get the inside part of the bat down the midwicket region and scampers for a couple. Asif didn't cross the line and it's a short run. The decision has been reverted now so its not a short run now.
18.5 H Ali to U Asif
4 Off the edge and it will go to the boundary down deep third man. Full and wide outside off and Asif Ali tries to clobber this down the ground, gets an outside edge which runs down the third man region and off to the boundary.
18.4 H Ali to W Riaz
1 Works away the fuller length delivery down deep midwicket only for a single.
