Good effort from HBL to make 180/2 in their 20 overs.

 

[hur rizvi]

Asad baig looks a decent batsman

Bump for Abdul Q

 

[Pakistani93]

Asad baig looks a decent batsman

What good batsman?58 of 52 is no big deal.

 

[alberto]

Who else got the runs?

 

[Abdul Q]

Welcome everyone, it’s Abdul Qadir reporting live from national Stadium Karachi.

Big apologies for our followers and listeners for a delay.

As you know the instability of Karachi city, it was another day of unexpected assassinations.

We were stuck in a traffic mess, but finally we are here with our live updates.

It’s a big match tonight, PIA taking on HBL.

 

[Abdul Q]

PIA won the toss and gave HBL a chance to bat first but that decision cost them as HBL put themselves in a very strong position.

Fahad Masood played brilliantly with his knock of 64 with unbeatable Asad Baig who was opening for HBL, he was 58*

 

[Abdul Q]

Anwar Ali was the only bowler to get breakthroughs, he got 2/28 in his 4 overs.

HBL put a mammoth total of 180 to test the chasing qualities of PIA, Shoaib Malik will be the key.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

How did anwar Ali go? Any noticeable improvements since the camp with wasim ?

 

[Abdul Q]

As PIA started their chase, it seems like it’s Fahad Masood’s day all over. Dismissed all the top 3 batsmen of PIA with bowling figures 3/16

 

[Abdul Q]

As it was expected, Shoaib Malik leading his team from the front, keeping alive the hopes for their teams.

He’s on 47 off 33, while Shehryar Ghani supporting him sensibly.

[Abdul Q]

He's a 27 yr old boy from Karachi.

 

[Abdul Q]

57 needed in 5 overs

Malik can do that!

Ghani is surely a surprise package in today's match!

Anwar Ali seems to have had a good day with the bowl!

 

[Abdul Q]

Malik on 71* Ghani heading towards his 50, he's on 48*, playing very impressively and responsibly.

Req 46 in 4 overs
now it' just a game of 24 balls, whom u think will go over the line today?

 

[Abdul Q]

through to fine leg fielder and one run by Malik

wait....it's a free hit and Ghani got the strike!

What a time to bowl a no-ball

 

[Abdul Q]

Ghani hits, in the air...long way...landed in the hands of fielder, it's a no ball so no worries for PIA, got couple of runs.

 

[Abdul Q]

chance of a run out, it's a close call and i think Malik is gone!

Good work by Humayun Farhat

 

[Abdul Q]

Malik departs with his wonderful knock of 78

PIA needs 24 in 2 overs

it's going to be a nail-biter, Ghani is the hope for PIA but they would happy with the positive attitude of Anwar Ali

 

[Abdul Q]

HBL done really well in last 5 overs, keeping their nerves calm!

 

[Abdul Q]

Full toss and Ghani smashes it!!! Got his 50

20 now in 11 balls

 

[Abdul Q]

Ghani plays through deep mid off

looking for 2, and here comes the balls to stumps, it could be another run out

 

[Pakistani93]

Anwar ALi seems to be run out. He is overrated.

 

[Abdul Q]

3rd Umpire: OUT

what a comeback by HBL, it's topsy turvey game!

Let's see who'll be the man joining Ghani on the crease!

Anwar Ali departs with contributing something valuable

[Abdul Q]

Kamran Hussain bowled em!

Ghani departs for 50

very Well played!

 

[Abdul Q]

Wait....it's no ball!!!
really?? that was not...Kamran's foot just landed before the line

Younis Khan arguing with umpire for the no-ball call by umpire!

 

[Abdul Q]

Still a chat going on!

game is getting controversial now!

 

[ads101]

He's at the level he belongs, let him stay there

Something's wrong in terms of his mind when he steps on the international stage. He has so much potential in LOI, such a shame he doesn't perform.

 

[Golden arm]

there is some pathetic 3rd umpire
may be its sethi or ganga sharif himself!

 

[Vitaly]

it wasn't a no ball surely

 

[Abdul Q]

Game is paused, umpires reviewing their decision again!

 

[Vitaly]

this is the difference between International matches and domestic.. you can argue freely with the umpires here

 

[Abdul Q]

Umpire Decision Stands - No Ball

not a good umpiring

 

[Abdul Q]

Ghani avails the free-hit with a huge six!

Runs to win 7, balls rem 7

 

[Vitaly]

6 on free hit.. PIA home

 

[Golden arm]

Abdul Q
do you know who is this 3rd umpire?

 

[Abdul Q]

Ghani plays through deep mid on

good running, got 2

now PIA need 5 in last over

HBL is out of luck today!

 

[Abdul Q]

Abdul Q
do you know who is this 3rd umpire?

Sajid Afridi

 

[Abdul Q]

first ball

3 needed off 5

 

[Abdul Q]

PIA wins the match

but well played HBL!

Ghani and Malik were star performer today!

It was all we got here, See you tomorrow with another big match!

Thank you, Abdul Qadir Jawaid.

 

[RickyG]

Blatant cheating. HBL are unlucky.

Also can anyone tell me why PIA were awarded an extra 5 runs?

 

[Saj]

Poor stuff from the 3rd umpire. The game turned on that no ball call.

Clearly wasn't a no ball.

 

[RickyG]

Poor stuff from the 3rd umpire. The game turned on that no ball call.

Clearly wasn't a no ball.

Why was PIA given an extra 5 runs btw?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Is this Abdul Qadir? Leg spinner?

 

[Abdul Q]

How did anwar Ali go? Any noticeable improvements since the camp with wasim ?

Some sort of improvements are there, but he doesn't still looks good enough to be a part of national side.

 

[Abdul Q]

How old is Ghani?

Shahryar Ghani is a 27 year old boy from Karachi.

He represents Karachi Dolphins as well.

 

[Abdul Q]

Why was PIA given an extra 5 runs btw?

During PIA innings, Fahad Masood ran on the pitch which resulted in 5 penalty runs.

 

[RickyG]

During PIA innings, Fahad Masood ran on the pitch which resulted in 5 penalty runs.

Isn't the rule that the batsman gets a warning and if it happens again then the umpire can give him out? Sounds like HBL was seriously hard done by.
