PSZ 157 (20)
QTG 156/9 (20)
Peshawar Zalmi won by 1 run
PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Hasan Ali

My fingers are bruised. My heart rate is still trying to recover. And my colleagues are catching their breathe. We witnessed another spiced up T20 game. No wonders this is the most marketable format. The game was dead and buried going into the last over. But Anwar rose from the ashes like a Phoenix and almost snatched a win for Quetta. But that was not to be. Karachi are up next for Peshawar. This is Kumar Abhisekh Das signing off on behalf of Akshay Maanay and Shashikant Singh.

Darren Sammy: 26 runs and you have to back yourself. But it is a game of cricket and it is Quetta, who over the years will give somebody a heart attack. A win is a win and that's what we got. The crowd was well entertained. In the end, Peshawar came out victorious. At the starting of the tournament, we lost a few players and we had some replacements. They worked hard with coach Akram and I needed them to step up. Sameem Gul took two wickets in one over and that changed the game. Our senior guys Wahab and Hasan showed their class today. Little too close in the end. Dawson batted well at the top of the order for us. Tomorrow we have to come back and do the basics right. Hopefully things go in our favour.

Sarfraz Ahmed: We have thrown the match away. Myself and Nawaz should not have thrown our wickets. The last pair could have done it more sensibly under pressure, but the nerves get the better of you. This was a wonderful wicket. The outfield is quick. A total of 160-170 is easy to track down. Overall we did well. We won a few and lost a few over the course of the tournament. The team is run very well. We will go back to the drawing board and come back better in the next year.

Hasan Ali, Man of the Match: I am very happy. Better late than never. We needed this win. I think the last over was played under a lot of pressure. Sarfraz and Nawaz were batting well and there was pressure then as well. I am feeling very fit. Thanks a lot to the crowd for turning up.

And we all had some humble pie. Dawson, the hero with the bat almost survived being the villain. Anwar Ali, his nemesis for the day, took matters in his own hands and blasted sixes off the second, fourth and fifth ball. When 3 was needed off the ball, he mistimed a full toss straight to long-on only for it to be spilt but the drama ended with a Peshawar win. By one run!! I am breathing ok now.. Time for the presentations..

158 was never going to be a defendable score but Hasan Ali decided to spice up things. He not only removed Shafiq off the very first ball of the innings but got Tom Kohler-Cadmore off the first ball of his second over. Then came the defining partnership between skipper Sarfraz and Nawaz. Both departed off successive balls with the score at 80 and that for me was the turning point of the game. Mahmudullah, Rossouw and Thisara Perera did no good for their team and it went to the last over with almost academic interest remaining in the game.

How many times did the game change hands? I have lost count. Quetta started off on the best possible note. They had Peshawar on the mat in the 9th over with the scorecard reading 58 for 4. But then Dawson stood there and calmed things down. Towards the end threw caution to the winds and again when it looked like Peshawar would get to 170, Quetta pulled things back.

Sammy gets his team into a huddle. There are few who are crying inconsolably. Anwar Ali is expressionless. Dawson is relived. Peshawar exult into happiness. This was another pot-boiler. And Asif at long-on dropped it. He would have been kicking himself had they got a couple there. But did well to gather himself. Nerve jangling game and Peshawar live to fight another day. They had knocked Quetta down in the finals last time and tonight in the play-offs have pipped them to the post.

19.6

Liam Dawson to Anwar Ali, out Mir Hamza Run Out!! 1 run completed. What a game. Heartbreak for Quetta again. Dropped at long-on. Can you believe it? The man at long-on (Umaid Asif) did gather himself and missiled in the throw for the bowler to whip the bails off. Mir Hamza was day dreaming. He should have done better. Both batsmen were looking at each other it seems. Had they completed the second run, then Quetta would have had a chance with the Super Over. Credit to Dawson as well who kept his nerve, collected the throw and removed the bails. Mir Hamza run out (U Asif/Liam Dawson) 0(1)

Liam Dawson to Anwar Ali, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

Tension everywhere. My hands are freezing.

19.5

Liam Dawson to Anwar Ali, SIX, I can't believe it. Six more. 3 needed now. Slams the shortish ball over long-off. He dropped it short. Anwar Ali is not bothered. Held his shape and cracked the fire-cracker over the fence

19.4

Liam Dawson to Anwar Ali, SIX, bring on more pop-corn. I can't move. 9 off 2 needed now. Charged out and smacked it over widish long-on. This is unreal. Anwar Ali is on fire

19.3

Liam Dawson to Anwar Ali, no run, that is an inside edge to short fine leg as he lost his shape. The quicker ball and the batsman trimmed the ball away

19.2

Liam Dawson to Anwar Ali, SIX, he connects. Bye bye ball. Goes over long-on. 15 needed now. He came down the track and lofted it big over long-on

19.1

Liam Dawson to Anwar Ali, FOUR, outer edge and it goes past a limping Sammy. The batsman tried to slog it away and got it over the man at short third. Sammy is not happy with the bowler and vice-versa

Liam Dawson [3.0-0-29-0] is back into the attack

25 off the final over. Can Anwar Ali do something improbable here? Dawson is the man who set up Peshawar. Here we go.

18.6

Riaz to Mir Hamza, no run, right up there. Another flat missile tailing in at the sticks. The batsman looking for a whirlwind slog, manages to inside edge it. The ball never left the vicinity around the sticks

Mir Hamza, left handed bat, comes to the crease
