Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United, 17th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Anwar Ali to Watson, out Lbw!! He's hopping back to the pavilion. Hacks right across the line of this delivery, is nowhere near to making a connection and the full toss raps him flush on the bare back-knee, that unfortunately was right in line with the stumps. Watson lbw b Anwar Ali 29(16) [4s-2 6s-2]

Anwar Ali to Watson, SIX, cutter sitting up from a back of a length, Watson has read it. He waits and mows the pull over mid-wicket! Four, Six and Six

Anwar Ali to Watson, SIX, not off the middle but that bat is a middle in itself. More sliced off the top half of the bat but Watson miscues it well over cow corner. Muscled away. Was undone by the lack of pace on that

Anwar Ali to Watson, FOUR, he has smacked it through covers. Lowers his CG and just slaps it up and over

Mohammad Nawaz to Shadab Khan, SIX, this didn't look big. But was. Shimmies out at an angle and lifted it way, way over long-off

Anwar Ali to Misbah, out Caught by Mohammad Nawaz!! It's a full toss but pings the top of Misbah's bat as he swings it straight to deep mid-wicket. A run-a-ball innings but Islamabad would have wanted something more from him. Misbah c Mohammad Nawaz b Anwar Ali 25(25) [6s-1]

Anwar Ali to Misbah, SIX, picks the cutter right out of the hand and it helps that it's a length ball. Hoicked over square leg. All the way, yes! Wow.

Anwar Ali to Watson, FOUR, one bounce over the ropes. Short ball sitting up nicely and has been gobsmacked by a pull through mid-wicket. Was actually stooping but managing to get on top of this shot

Hasan Khan to Haddin, out Caught by Anwar Ali!! Undone by a slower delivery. Is weighted on the front foot, smacks it flat-batted, as he has been doing all night, but finds long-off. Haddin c Anwar Ali b Hasan Khan 22(16) [4s-3]

Anwar Ali to Haddin, FOUR, he's manufacturing runs today. Fress hands and flat-bats a full-wide ball through mid-off. Up and over

Anwar Ali to Haddin, FOUR, dipping full toss and Haddin has smoked it away for a one-bounce boundary. Made a little room and just patted it away, fiercely

Thisara Perera to Haddin, FOUR, slowish short ball sits up and Haddin makes enough room to place this pull right between long-on and deep mid-wicket

Babar to Hussain Talat, out Caught by Thisara Perera!! Departs after playing a good innings. Leaves his crease for the big shot but ends up carving it down long-off's throat. Too short a length to be playing that shot. Never under the ball there, was Talat. Hussain Talat c Thisara Perera b Babar 56(39) [4s-6 6s-2]

Hasan Khan to Hussain Talat, FOUR, so good. Tickled off his pads to deep square leg fence

Hasan Khan to Hussain Talat, SIX, that's a heroic effort from Anwar Ali at deep mid-wicket to back-throw himself at the rope but the ball is just too high. So his flick falls beyond the ropes. This was an absolute drag-down from Hasan Khan, Talat pulled and brought up a half-century, How good has he looked

Thisara Perera to Rafatullah Mohmand, out Caught by Babar!! Undone by a shortish cutter. Backs away to make room, the ball's decking away and slices the outside half of his flat-batted slash to loop to an onrushing third man. Rafatullah Mohmand c Babar b Thisara Perera 17(16) [4s-1 6s-1]

Mahmudullah to Hussain Talat, SIX, 50-run stand. He's not to the pitch but he needn't be. He's got the room to loft it inside-out over covers

Mahmudullah to Hussain Talat, FOUR, that's a late late steer past short third man. Stays back-footed and opens the bat face and is able to deflect it from right in front of off-stump

Hasan Khan to Hussain Talat, FOUR, and cheekily paddles it. Sees the line leg-stumpish again and scoops it over the keeper's head

Hasan Khan to Hussain Talat, FOUR, finds the gap with a scoopy sweep. Gets low and picks it up from leg-stump

Anwar Ali to Hussain Talat, FOUR, that's an edge. Cutting across Talat from a back of a length, Talat is cramped in his cut that's in the making still. Genuine outside edge wide of the keeper

Mohammad Nawaz to Rafatullah Mohmand, SIX, shimmies and lifts it over Mohammad Nawaz's head. A bit of flight and Rafatullah's not afraid to go big. Had to. Hits a six. First of the match

Mahmudullah to Hussain Talat, FOUR, beautifully played. Overpitched and he meets it with a drive that he opens through extra cover

Babar to Rafatullah Mohmand, FOUR, that's not pretty. Gets low and swipes against the turn, hoping to connect. Does so and rockets it through mid-wicket

Babar to Dwayne Smith, out Caught by Mohammad Nawaz!! Two spinning deliveries and the third one gets Smith. Wanted to launch it downtown, the turning ball from the left-arm spinner slices the outside half and ricochets to the deep cover fielder. There's spin in this pitch. There's spin everywhere today. Dwayne Smith c Mohammad Nawaz b Babar 0(3)
