Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars, 24th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Shaheen Afridi to Afridi, out Bowled!! This is his second 6-off-2 in the tournament! And the umpteenth of his career. A yorker length delivery on middle, and Afridi, who thinks running across to score runs is an act of shame to the race of batsmen, swings across the lone as it uproots middle stump. Afridi b Shaheen Afridi 6(2) [6s-1]

Shaheen Afridi to Afridi, SIX, BOOM BOOM! Length ball outside off, Afridi bottom-hands that over long-on for a massive six. First ball.

Sohail Khan to Babar Azam, out Caught by Narine!! Slower delivery, attempted yorker I think, Babar Azam clears his front-leg and has a full-swing at it as he tries to deposit it over long-on. Not enough muscle on this as Narine in the deep gobbles it up easily. Another one down. Babar Azam c Narine b Sohail Khan 61(49) [4s-6 6s-1]

Sohail Khan to Bopara, FOUR, deflating for the bowler as he bowls a back of a length ball heading for off, Bopara makes room and tries it away to point but ends up getting an edge to the third man fence for four

Sohail Khan to Babar Azam, SIX, short and wide outside off, Babar Azam backs away and carves an upper-cut over point. Opened the bat-face, and carved it away. No intention of keeping it down

Sohail Khan to Ingram, out Caught by Gulraiz Sadaf!! A slower-ball googly! That's new :O! A back of a length ball outside off and Ingram didn't pick up the change of pace or the extra bounce due to the overspin, committed to a slog-sweep across the line and skied it in the air as the keeper came around to pouch that. Ingram c Gulraiz Sadaf b Sohail Khan 12(13) [4s-1]

Shaheen Afridi to Ingram, FOUR, full delivery on middle and off, yorker gone wrong, Ingram backs away into the crease again and drills it down the gorund for four. The fielders ran and continued a dynamic symmetry as the ball split them perfectly

McClenaghan to Ingram, 1 run, Sohail Khan has dropped that! Ingram can hurt you, big time. Short delivery around off, Ingram pulls it straight to deep square leg where Sohail puts it down. Was hit with brute force but was catchable

Sohail Khan to Simmons, out Caught by McClenaghan!! Excellent catch there. Full and slow around off, Simmons looks to go big and slams it hard to long-on. Mclenaghan runs to his left and dives ahead to complete a good low catch. A fine knock by Simmons comes to an end with that brilliant take by the Kiwi pacer. Simmons c McClenaghan b Sohail Khan 55(39) [4s-8 6s-1]

Shaheen Afridi to Babar Azam, FOUR, edged away! Short and slow around off, Azam pokes at it and gets an outside edge that travels in between the gap at slip and the keeper. No man guarding third man and it's four more. Afridi fot a 5-for in the last match, not so great start this time around though

Shaheen Afridi to Simmons, FOUR, short and punished. Banged short around off, Simmons swivels and pulls it through mid-wicket for four more. Needs only two more to complete his half-century

Shaheen Afridi to Babar Azam, 1 run, back of a length outside off, cut past the diving fielder at point for a single. The partnership between Babar Azam and Simmons is now 50, courtesy of that single

Yasir Shah to Simmons, FOUR, nicely done. Short of a length and well outside off, Simmons chops his cut and manages to beat the man at short third man to find the fence. A very expensive over by Yasir Shah

Yasir Shah to Simmons, SIX, an even better shot! He's onsong tonight. Shimmies down the wicket and smokes the floated delivery right over the long-on fence for half a dozen. That came right from the meat off his willow

Yasir Shah to Simmons, FOUR, acrobatic effort by the fielder there, but in vain. Shortish delivery just outside off, Simmons camps back and offers a deft touch to gather a boundary at third man

Yasir Shah to Simmons, byes, FOUR, sharp turn on that. Tossed up delivery, spinning away from the batsman there, Simmons goes for a drive but gets beaten due to the leg spin on that. The keeper gets beaten as well as the ball rolls away to the third man fence, very fine. Lovely delivery by the leggie though

McClenaghan to Babar Azam, FOUR, that's a top shot by Azam, reckons Ramiz Raja on air. Over-pitched delivery outside off, Azam eases into his cover drive and finds the gap at covers to get his second boundary of the innings

McClenaghan to Babar Azam, FOUR, flicked away. Full length delivery on the pads, Azam flicks that away into the square leg fence with utter ease

Yasir Shah to Babar Azam, no run, Shaheen Shah Afridi drops a sitter at mid-on. Even he can't believe it. Short delivery around off and Babar goes for a pull. Mistimes it to mid-on where Afridi spills it out, in and out. Can't get an easier catch.

Yasir Shah to Denly, out Caught by Brendon McCullum!! Soft dismissal. Flighted leg-break on off and Denly goes for an uppish drive. Ends up chipping it to Baz at extra-cover who makes no mistake. Yasir is delighted with the wicket, just look at his celebrations. Bangs his head like a metal head after getting the wicket. Denly c Brendon McCullum b Yasir Shah 3(4)

Devcich to Simmons, FOUR, gift, an absolute gift. Tossed up delivery but on a full length around off, Simmons lunges into the drive and creams it through the gap at covers to end the over with a boundary more.
