16.5: Off-cutter, dug into the pitch, swipes wildly at it and gets a faint feather through to Azam Khan. Almost swung himself off his feet there as he tried to force this into the leg-side
Waqas continues
KK 108-8 (16 overs)
Wasim Jr comes back
KK 88-8 (15 overs)
Waqas comes back
KK 83-8 (14 overs)
13.5: Wrong’un, floated on a very full length as Taha goes down on one knee and tries to swipe it through the leg-side. It thuds into his front toe and it’s immediately given by the umpire.
13.3: Another wrong one does it for Shadab. Jordan too looks to slog the ball over his head but misses the ball completely and the ball disturbs the timber.
Shadab comes again
KK 82-6 (13 overs)
Wasim Jr comes back
KK 66-6 (12 overs)
11.5: Wrong one, just short of a length, Imad runs down the pitch to maul it over wide long-on, miscues it completely and it’s safely held by Colin Munro stationed deep on the boundary.
11.3: Gregory marches down the pitch, looks to heave the ball over the bowler’s head, but Shadab turns it sharply and the batter misses the ball completely. Regulation stumping behind the wicket for Azam.

7.6: Looped up on the pads, Imad flicks it into the on-side and denies a single to his partner who is cantering down the pitch towards the striker’s end. Imad stands his ground and Shadab has knocked the bails off at the other to run out another Kings’ batter.
Shadab replaces Faheem
KK 41-3 (7 overs)
6.1: Length ball, swerving in with the angle, Cockbain tries to punch off the crease but he’s clearly rushed by pace as it slinks through between his bat and pad and disturbs the timberwork behind. Might have kept a tad low, too
Hasan comes into the attack
KK 35-2 (6 overs)
Faheem continues
KK 23-2 (5 overs)
4.2: Castled! Wasim Jr cleans up Babar. Overpitched, comes back in and Babar gets completely deceived by the movement, the ball hits the off-stump.
Wasim Jr replaces Waqas
KK 21-1 (4 overs)
Faheem continues
KK 15-1 (3 overs)
Waqas replaces Mubasir
KK 7-1 (2 overs)
1.2: Overpitched, outside off, mistimed straight drive towards short midwicket. Sharjeel, at the non-striker’s, is halfway down the pitch when has to swivel and rush back. The fielder throws it back to Faheem who knocks the bails off just in time. A self-inflicted tragedy for Karachi Kings.
Faheem to bowl from the other end
KK 5-0 (1 over)
Sharjeel, Babar come out to bat for the Kings. Mubasir to bowl the first over for the United
