Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi, 12th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Sami to Riaz, out Bowled!! The best sight for a bowler as he uproots the leg-pole with a rattling yorker. That was gunned down straight and Riaz trying to back away for the free swing, was never in contention to connect with that as the ball traversed a passage to the base of the leg-stick.. Riaz b Sami 23(15) [4s-3 6s-1]

Sami to Afridi, out Caught by Rumman Raees!! A one-handed heave doesn't come off and is taken at long-off. That was slotted in full and wide, Afridi had to tonk it and he did but only to slice it in the air without getting any elevation or distance. The man at long-off came in a bit and takes an easy catch. The silence returns with the departure of the enigmatic Afridi. Afridi c Rumman Raees b Sami 17(12) [6s-2]

Watson to Riaz, FOUR, agony, more agony for the bowler as he gets the yorker spot on. Riaz backs away to entangle himself, manages some wood on it and then the inside edge takes it between his legs and past the man at fine leg for a four

Watson to Riaz, FOUR, slower short delivery now and Riaz gets it of the cue-end on the pull and the ball balloons over the keeper for a lucky boundary

Watson to Riaz, FOUR, again creates room, stays inside the line of the delivery and carves it past the man at point, who dived valiantly. Short delivery first followed by a full one but 10 off 2 is the result

Watson to Riaz, SIX, UH OH!! Watto won't find it pleasing. That was some shot. Backs away, opens his stance to free his arms and then cannons it of the front foot to get it soaring over the long-off region

Rumman Raees to Sammy, out Caught by Sami!! Slower short delivery and Sammy trying to forheand the pull, manages a big fat top edge which is gobbled up with a slide and a dive. The man at long-on got to it and then dived to take an excellent catch. And again, Sami is the man. His third catch of the game. Sammy c Sami b Rumman Raees 20(19) [4s-3]

Sami to Afridi, SIX, The BOOM BOOM is in the house! That was again on a length and was hacked away by the man himself. It went up a light year and when it came down. It had thousands of delirious people waiting to catch that

Sami to Afridi, SIX, flicked the ball of the pads and that has been deposited well over the square leg fence. That was full of nonchalance. As easy as baking a pie is for Afridi, when it comes to hitting sixes

Sami to Sammy, FOUR, short arm plumet to a rising short delivery at a pace which was good to be deposited away. That was at the right height for the batsman to size it up and whack it

Irfan to Sammy, FOUR, bottom-hand comes into brute play as he whips it from the sticks to send the leather packing between long-on and deep mid. The caribbean calypso oozed out of that shot

Irfan to Sammy, FOUR, winds up for the big shot and biffs it past the diving mid-off. That flew of the bat and reached the fence in a jiffy

Shadab Khan to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Irfan!! The young man has got the big man! Morgan plays the reverse and finds the man at short third man. You live by the sword, you die by it. A deafening silence is turned into a rapturous applause as Afridi walks in. Eoin Morgan c Irfan b Shadab Khan 28(28) [4s-3 6s-1]

Amad Butt to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, short delivery and hammered away with the blistering pull. The region at deep mid was peppered

Amad Butt to Shakib, out Caught by Sami!! Careless from the seasoned campaigner. Looks to punch it away uppishly and manages to scoop it in the air for the man at mid-off to run back and take it. Half their side is back in the dug-out. That was a short of length delivery and might have held onto the surface a bit. Shakib c Sami b Amad Butt 5(7)

Shadab Khan to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, Morgan's favourite stroke, the reverse sweep. Gets a top-edge, but all the might that was put into the shot fetches him a boundary

Sami to Maqsood, out Caught&Bowled!! Easy as you like. Gets frustrated with two balls and looks to pull Sami over mid-wicket, and how does he do that? No feet. Just a wild swing, the ball gets big on him and takes the top-edge before looping high into the night sky. Sami calls for it and grabs it sans any fuss. Maqsood c and b Sami 0(3)

Shadab Khan to Kamran Akmal, out Lbw!! Another googly and this time there's no escaping. Kamran Akmal wanted to cut square, but the ball fizzed in and slammed his pad in front of all three. Easy call for the umpire. Kamran Akmal lbw b Shadab Khan 19(17) [4s-3]

Shadab Khan to Eoin Morgan, SIX, picks the length early, rocks back and mauls the pull for a flat six over mid-wicket

Rumman Raees to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, hit-me delivery; Short, down leg, helped away to the fine leg fence

Rumman Raees to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, comes dancing down the tracking and blasts a full delivery over mid-off, superb timing

Irfan to Hafeez, out Caught by Misbah!! Soft dismissal. Hafeez seems totally out of touch this season. No real intent on this shot, just a twirl of the wrists hoping to clear mid-on, wasn't to be. Misbah in action again, taking a dolly of a catch. Hafeez c Misbah b Irfan 10(8) [4s-2]

Irfan to Hafeez, FOUR, pokes and edges it past a diving slip. Hangs his bat in trying to push a good length delivery into the off-side, the ball catches the edge and Irfan's pace does the rest

Rumman Raees to Hafeez, FOUR, that's a blazing drive from Mohammad Hafeez. Leant forward and creamed the stroke through cover with full flourish, off the mark in style

Rumman Raees to Tamim, out Caught by Misbah!! Straight into the bucket hands of Misbah at mid-wicket. Short ball, pacy too, Tamim went for his go-to shot, the on-the-move pull, dragged off the toe end and Misbah ain't dropping those. Tamim c Misbah b Rumman Raees 4(8)

Irfan to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, short ball outside off, Kamran Akmal pulls and all he manages is a big chunk of top-edge which flies over the keeper's head

Irfan to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, one bounce and over the ropes. No respect whatsoever. Clears his front leg and dismisses Mohammad Irfan straight down the ground
