It's time for the final, folks.

Karachi vs Sialkot for the ABN AMRO Twenty20 cup!
 
someone mentioned in another thread that it starts at 7:00 PM in Karachi...so 3:00 PM GMT

anyway would love to see a good match, hope Karachi wins...
 
Match starts at 7:00 PM PST, in about 4 hours.
 
inshaallah i am trying to go there and support KARACHI...
i wish afridi plays the match and than went to HAJ
 
the epg for geo tv shows that the 20-20 is on from 12.00-3.00pm gmt, must be wrong unless players have come out in fancy dress saris and acting out in dramas instead!
 
Karachi Dolphins won the toss and will Bowl 1st

Anwar ali and Muhammed sami will need to make some early inroads here...!
 
Sami bowling rubbish and imran anzir been luck with some ugly looking slogs. 2 lucky fours in 1st over.

2nd over he plays some decent shots.

23/0 (2)
 
Lovely booming drive for 4 by nazir followed by a slog and miss next ball.

28/0
 
Cracking pull shot from nazir off anwar ali and again next ball an ugly looking slog and miss.
 
Big 6 from Imran Nazir straight down the ground
 
What a shot for 6 off sami. slapped down ground!

Nazir playing some good shots amongst the bad ones.
 
Nasty delivery from Sami hits Nazir on the arm.

High full toss.
 
What a mixed bag from both sami and nazir.

some cracking shots, ugly slogs v Buffet bowling and then some cracker jack balls.
 
Lofted Drive from malik just goes over fielders hand and goes for 4.

50 up for stallions.
 
Azam hussain gets malik and shahid yousuf 1st ball.

80/2 and its game on.

intresting question, his bowling is going no where. He was a very promising leg spinner in U-19 and now he is fading like Irfan fazil did few years back
 
Sialkot 134/6 now as fawad alam takes another wicket.

2 overs to go.
 
3rd wicket for fawad alam.

This boys on a roll at the moment.
 
Sialkot Stallions 145-7 after 19 overs

Pretty poor over there from Sami.
 
Tahir mughal gone as Fawad alam picks up his 4th wicket.
 
152 runs to win for Karachi. Should be a very interesting chase.

Well bowled to Fawad Alam, 5 wickets for him.

Karachi will have to get thru the new ball some how without lossing wickets.
 
were there some penalty runs awarded? 162 runs needed
Karachi will miss Afridi for sure and they have Mohammad Asif and Rana to face
 
Shadab Kabir/Fawad Alam have to play good innings, here.
 
Khalid latif and Shadab Kabir to open v Rana.
 
Asif gets Latif, i want Stallions to win but i really wanna see Fawad Alam playing really well.

Go Fawad!!!!!
 
Mo Asif gets rid of khalid Latif.

11/1

Fawad Alam new man in.

GO DOLPHINS GO :). Sialkot have already won last year so it would be nice if Dolphins can do it this year so we can have 3 different teams winning in 3 years
 
7 runs and 1 wicket off the over
Karachi 23-2 after 4 - RR 5.75 - required 8.06
 
Mo Asif strikes again as he knocks over shadab Kabir.

23/2 (4)
 
Karachi cant afford to lose any more wickets here whilst Rana/Asif are on bowling.

Good point, Karachi should win this and i want Fawad to play a winning knock here.

Oops

Gone! fuller in length, just outside off and nips back, tries to defend it, goes through the gate and hits the middle and off stump
Shadab Kabir b Mohammad Asif (7 runs, 9 balls, 1x4, 0x6)
 
Maisam Hasnain new man in

good yorker from Rana, well dug out by Fawad.

it would be fantastic if fawad can stay there until end and win the game for Dolphins
 
Fawad alam has very good cricket awareness. Good single taken.
 
Rana in death bowling mode already. Firing in the yorkers at will.

28/2
 
ranbo is in supreme form ... he's gonna rip apart the saffies !!
 
Karachi Dolphins 34-2 (6 overs)

118 needed of 14 overs here...
 
S malik onto bowl now.

Rana again has his last over saved till end.
 
Rana and Asif are just too good....so unless they are bowling poorly you can't hit them for 10-12 in an over so Fawad realizes that and has been farming the strike!
 
Chance for a stumping missed! Very poor keeping.

good over from malik just 4 runs from it.

38/2 from 7 overs

strange....because Khalid is a very experienced keeper
 
Tahir mughal on now, so asif has 1 over left also.
 
Karachi Dolphins 44-2 after 8 overs

run rate starting to climb rapidly.

108 needed of 72 balls.
 
Fawad Alam 16 14 1 0

This is the best thing about Fawad, he is not trying to SLOG and hit every ball out of Karachi just because it's 20/20. We definitely need this kind of batsman at number 5 in ODI team who can rotate the strike and keep taking singles and doubles.
 
Lovely drive off Malik. inside out and gets 4.

Maisam Hasnain Looks pretty decent player.
