So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentators, Ayan Chatterjee and Shubham. Do stay tuned to tomorrow's fixtures will see Quetta Gladiators taking on Karachi Kings and Multan Sultans facing off against Islamabad United!
Shaheen Afridi (Winning Lahore Qalandars Captain): "We made a good comeback. The credit goes to Fakhar and Brook. They played really well. We all know how Fakhar can play. We also saw the ability of Brook's well. Zaman has impressed me a lot. Whenever he gets the ball, he wants to do something. He is very talented. We will miss Rashid. He keeps the dressing room atmosphere nice as well. But all the best to him as he will be on national duty."
Asif Ali (Losing Islamabad United Captain): "Yes, we got a great start. They batted well and we bowled badly so credit to them. We wanted to keep it simple, but the batting order is changing and that's making it difficult to get the right playing XI. Our main players are not here and today Hassan Ali was available but got injured after the toss. I hope, we will recover from this defeat and come back stronger tomorrow. "
Harry Brook, Man of the Match: "It was good fun to be out there and get a good score for the team. Have always said in interviews that I want to be a match-winner. The PSL is very good fun and this is the best crowd we have had"
Time for the post-match presentation.
Rashid Khan: "Lahore has taken good care of me. I am so happy with the love. I wish them all the very best for the rest of the competition. It makes me happy that I am leaving the team with us on the top. It is a wonderful family. It was about playing our natural game. We had a night yesterday. It was about enjoying your game."
So that is it, a convincing 66-run win for Lahore Qalandars over Islamabad United. Great way for Rashid Khan to sign off too and he has just received a guard of honour from the Lahore Qalandars unit!
It was always going to be a stiff task for Islamabad United chasing 198 and it proved to be so. Rahmanullah Gurbaz provided a quick start for the side but he holed out to deep mid-wicket off Shaheen Shah Afridi's bowling in the third over. Mubasir Khan also departed off the very next delivery as Shaheen bowled him with a peach of a delivery.
Islamabad United's decision to promote Mohammad Wasim Jr didn't quite work out as he trapped by a Rashid Khan googly in the seventh over after making only 12 off 14 balls. Liam Dawson and Azam tried to build a partnership but it was Rashid once again who got Azam stumped with a fine googly. A couple of overs later, Dawson was sent back by Zaman Khan as the Englishman miscued a full-toss from the young pacer to long-on.
Islamabad's stand-in skipper Asif Ali looked in good touch but he found a straight-ish long-off with his attempted big shot in the 15th over. The game spiraled down pretty quickly after that as Haris Rauf got rid of Faheem Ashraf and Marchant de Lange in quick succession. In the end, David Wiese also chipped in with a wicket as Waqas Maqsood executed a scoop shot poorly to short fine-leg. Southpaw Danish Aziz stayed unbeaten on 30 off 26 balls but that knock was never going to trouble Lahore Qalandars!

19.6 D Wiese to Z Khan

A comfortable and comprehensive win for the Lahore Qalandars as they win by 66 runs. They get to 12 points and solidify second place in the points table. United will be disappointed while the Quetta Gladiators watching it from their hotels will be happy. They are still in the competition.
