Lahore Qalandars vs Islamabad United, 15th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Now then, who expected a low-scoring thriller? Quite the game we've had today, even though the over-rates leave a lot to be desired. Rashid, once again, has proved his worth as a batsman, and is almost taken for granted and played out as a bowler. On that note, it's Rishi from Cricbuzz, signing off on behalf of Abhinand, Sriram and Naga. To many more cliffhangers, but in 1.25x please. Cheerio!

Sohail Akhtar | Lahore Qalandars captain: We gave away 10-15 runs more than we should have. We bowled well and kept it tight at the end, and eventually our batting was impressive at the death. We have spinners, and we'll pick them according to the wicket. We have the best fast bowlers in the world at the moment and we'll strategically pick the spinners when required.

Rashid Khan | Man of the Match (Ball: 4-0-9-1 | Bat: 15 off 5): I think it was the belief in my shots that got me the runs, especially to a new bowler, so I took him on and it came off. I keep enjoying myself despite the responsibility, and it's important not to burden yourself. It's important to raise your hand, go there, and perform for your team. Good fielding gives you extra energy and brings the best out of you in other aspects as well.

Shadab Khan | Islamabad United captain: When I was bowling, I had left one over for myself, for the end. As the dew came in it got easier to play spinners. I had confidence in Talat and if I had to do it again, I'd back him again. We have to forget the Karachi phase, and it's hard to play for the newer batsmen. It'll get easier later once the dew sets in, for batsmen, but we can't complain about that. Effort is in our hands, and we showed it, but the result was not in our favour tonight. Maybe it will be, later in the tournament.

23:47 Local Time, 19:47 GMT, 01:17 IST: It was sluggish. Sluggish throughout. After a miserly, disciplined bowling performance, the Qalandars struggled to get off the blocks, and were anchored a little too safely by Hafeez and skipper Sohail Akhtar. With 7 balls to go, victory was inevitable for the Islamabad side, but a terrific penultimate over by Hasan Ali was marred by a six off the final ball, which perhaps forced the skipper to give Hasan Talat the final over, where Rashid cashed in from Ball #1 and smashed three boundaries in the first three balls to bring the Qalandars roaring back. It eventually went down to the final ball, and a bit of luck for David, but it was Rashid who showed pure nerve and exemplary courage when it mattered. Presentations coming up in a moment.

Talat to Tim David, 1 run, the Qalandars pull off a heist! A short ball, perfectly on target, but a top-edge on a pull has got the ball over the 'keeper towards long-stop for four to send the Lahore dugout into delirium!

Hussain Talat, right-arm medium, comes into the attack

Hasan Ali to Tim David, SIX, OOOOOH, he hasn't managed to finish off the over too well! It was a brilliant spell, and an even better penultimate over, but he's just fallen short of pretty much sealing the deal with a half-volley that has been launched straight into the sightscreen for a massive six

Hasan Ali to Tim David, no run, backs away and drives a full one hard towards cover

Rashid Khan, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Hasan Ali to Ben Dunk, out Caught by Iftikhar Ahmed! Finally makes contact with the leg-side hoick to a length ball, and gets a lot more height than distance - high in the air, towards the cow corner region but many yards too short, and Iftikhar settles under a regulation catch that couldn't have been easy under the night sky.
