Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi, 7th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Bopara to Dwayne Smith, SIX, oh dear me! Short-ish delivery, hardly any pace, Dwayne Smith just waits for it and brutally lofts the pull over the deep mid-wicket fence for six to finish things off in style and gives his bowlers something to bowl at...

Bopara to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, another length ball just outside off, Dwayne Smith plunders it with a bottom-handed swat-pull to deep mid-wicket for four! So much power!

Bopara to Dwayne Smith, SIX, length ball outside off, big no-no at this stage, Dwayne Smith hoicks it away towards the deep mid-wicket fence for six!

Mohammad Irfan to Dwayne Smith, out Riaz Run Out!! 1 run completed.

Riaz run out (Denly/Mohammad Irfan) 8(6)

Mohammad Irfan to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, 45th T20 fifty for Smith! Full and fractionally wide outside off, Dwayne Smith got on his knees and threws his hands at it, and it flew away to the third man fence for four. Impressive innings by him, and he's got almost half his side's runs...

Tymal Mills to Dwayne Smith, SIX, Yikes! Short-ish and the slower one, Dwayne Smith picked it up and since then it was destined for the stands. Got his front leg out of the away as though playing a spinner and smotes that to over the deep mid-wicket fence for six! 100 up for Zalmi now...

Mohammad Irfan to Dwayne Smith, SIX, full-toss on middle, a yorker gone wrong this time, Dwayne Smith thwacks that drive through the line and nails the lofted straight drive for six! Absolutely massive. Really got a hold of that...

Tymal Mills to Jordan, out Caught by Mohammad Irfan!! A short-ish ball just outside off, Jordan tries to pull it from the line outside off-stump and ends up top-edging it to deep fine leg where Irfan Junior settles under it. Zalmi sink further still... Jordan c Mohammad Irfan b Tymal Mills 1(6)

Afridi to U Asif, out Lbw!! An LBW appeal! Not given by the umpire, and the Kings review. A leg-break that doesn't bounce much, skidding after bouncing. No issue with the line, as Asif misses the pull. No edge on it. Three reds! That is out, and the umpire overturns his decision. Asif is out! U Asif lbw b Afridi 7(6) [6s-1]

Afridi to U Asif, SIX, full and flighted outside off, Asif lofts it with a horizontal bat straight down the ground for six! Wonderful shot!

Bopara to Dwayne Smith, out Sammy Run Out!! A slower one on a short-ish length on middle, Dwayne Smith shapes up for another lap and waits an eternity for it before scooping it towards backward square leg. However, the fielder throws it to the non-striker's end who has taken off but his partner hasn't responded, and another run out because of the lack of communication and scoreboard pressure. Sammy run out (Mohammad Irfan/Bopara) 2(7)

Bopara to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, back of the hand slower one on middle, Dwayne Smith gets across towards off and swat-whips a lap-sweep towards the deep backward square leg fence for four

Mohammad Irfan to Sammy, 1 run, short-ish and on the hips, flicked off the back foot to backward square leg, but not before he is dropped by the leg slip! He dived to his left to take that, but it didn't stick...

Mohammad Irfan to Dwayne Smith, out Ibtisam Sheikh Run Out!! Middle-stump yorker, dug out into the off-side, the bowler runs at the ball, Smith goes for the run but Ibtisam Sheikh sends him back, realizes that it is sensible to sacrifice his wicket at this point and crosses over to gift-wrap his wicket for the Kings. Unfortunate. Certainly wasn't a run there... Ibtisam Sheikh run out (Mohammad Irfan) 2(6)

Mohammad Irfan to Haris Sohail, out Caught by Tymal Mills!! That was full and wide outside off, Haris Sohail moves away to the leg-side, reaches out for it and slices the ball to the square third man fence where Mills looks blinded by the light for a moment, but settles under it in the end. All's well tht ends well... Four down, are the Zalmi. Haris Sohail c Tymal Mills b Mohammad Irfan 1(5)

Afridi to Hafeez, out Caught by Imad Wasim!! Picks out the man at short cover! Full and tossed up leg-break outside off, Hafeez stretches forward and goes for the lofted cover drive off the front foot stride, hits it flat and straight to the skipper at short cover... Hafeez c Imad Wasim b Afridi 7(16) [4s-1]

Amir to Hafeez, FOUR, short and wide outside off, Hafeez gets on top of it and nails that back foot drive to the deep point boundary. Timed the pants off that one...

Amir to Tamim, out Caught by Rizwan!! He's gone! Back of a length ball on off and seaming away sharply from that over the wicket angle to the left-hander, reminiscent of the Kohli dismissal in the CT final last year, and Tamim tried to flick it away off the back foot; ended up getting a feather of a nick to Rizwan who stretches forward to take a simple catch. Was that a clean catch? Looks like it is... Tamim c Rizwan b Amir 11(12) [4s-2]

Tymal Mills to Tamim, FOUR, back of the hand slower one, pitched short again, Tamim opens up his stance and delays the pull to the deep mid-wicket boundary for four

Tymal Mills to Tamim, FOUR, short, wide, Tamim nails the drive to the sweeper cover fence. A gift of a delivery, and gladly accepted by Iqbal

Amir to Kamran Akmal, out Lbw!! Gone! As dead as a dodo! Don't even think about a review. A bit of a send-off from the Kings for Akmal. A good length ball on middle zipping off the pitch and skidding onto middle, looked like it was hitting the top-half of middle. Kamran Akmal was hurried by the lack of grip and the skid, and was caught plumb in front. It hit him before he was into the shot. Kamran Akmal lbw b Amir 14(5) [4s-2 6s-1]

Imad Wasim to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, flatter and fuller on leg, Kamran Akmal goes for the full-blooded sweep and gets a tickle away to fine leg for four. A 15-run over to start with, and the move to start with spin has backfired...

Imad Wasim to Kamran Akmal, FOUR, action replay! Flatter in trajectory on middle on a back of a length, no turn, Kamran Akmal nails the elevated slog-sweep to deep mid-wicket for a four

Imad Wasim to Kamran Akmal, SIX, loopy delivery outside off, Kamran Akmal gets it in the slot, plants his front foot outside leg and swipes across the line with that slog-sweep to the deep mid-wicket fence
