Game number 2 of PSL 2021 has been pocketed by Lahore Qalandars. They did boss it for most part of it but also had their iffy moments as well. In the end, Hafeez held his cool to see his team through with the help of a speedy cameo from Rashid Khan. The third game of the tourney will see Islamabad taking on Multan. Join us for that. Sohail Akhtar, winning skipper: The first match of any tournament is very important as far as gaining momentum is concerned. The fast bowling attack we have is wonderful. We have a good back up team as well in case one of our bowlers are unfit and that worked. Shaheen Afridi, Player of the Match: I am glad that we won the first match. There was some help with the new ball and I tried my best. Be it Test, T20 or ODI, I try to enjoy myself. Wahab Riaz, losing skipper: I think we were 20-30 runs short on this wicket. I think it was a good bowling start from them on a wicket which had something in it for the fast bowlers. Our batters should have taken some more time. The way our fielding side fought was incredible. We tried till the end. The message is very clear. Go out and play your shots. Rashid Khan: Feels good. The best feeling is to finish a game with the bat and I got that opportunity today. It is all about the balance, I have all the shots but it is about keeping my balance. I have been struggling with that for the last year or so. It was a mini helicopter (about the winning hit). The wicket wasn't spinning so it was important to bowl the right length. Amazing feeling. That's how you want a tournament to start, my first time in the PSL and I am enjoying it. 17:37 Local Time, 12:37 GMT, 18:07 IST: Lahore have managed to chase down 140. They did huff and puff a bit but have managed to get there in the end. They lost wickets in the middle and a few to reverse swing but Hafeez held his composure from one end and Rashid Khan played a cameo to help his team track down the total. Earlier, in the day Peshawar were reduced to 46 for 4 but managed to get to 140. But that was never going to be enough. The top three from Lahore got starts but threw it away. But Hafeez didn't and paced his innings well. Shaheen Afridi's three wicket haul certainly being the major difference on a track which did assist the fast bowlers. Hang around for the presentations.. 18.3 Amad Butt to Rashid Khan, SIX , and the helicopter to finish! Slower it might have been well outside off and Rashid Khan swung that across the line and sent it over wide long-on for a sixer. Superb end to a wonderful game. Lahore have won this with 9 balls and 4 wickets to spare 18.2 Amad Butt to Rashid Khan, FOUR , full delivery outside off and has been lifted over the in-field on the off-side for a four. Was a superb hit for it to speed away to the fence 18.1 Amad Butt to Rashid Khan, no run, full toss, slower, wider, dragged away to cover Amad Butt [2.0-0-22-1] is back into the attack LHQ: 133-6 after 18 overs 17.6 Riaz to Rashid Khan, 1 run, short, wide, slashed away past cover for a single 17.5 Riaz to Rashid Khan, no run, a pretty good bumper and Rashid Khan sits under it 17.4 Riaz to Rashid Khan, FOUR , educated edge and four. That was an away angler, Rashid Khan opened the bat face and ran it down to third man for a four. Was easily done indeed 17.3 Riaz to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, fuller delivery wide outside off and Rashid Khan steered that past point for a double. Was easily done 17.2 Riaz to Hafeez, 1 run, short, wide, slower, steered away to third man for a single 17.1 Riaz to Rashid Khan, 1 run, fuller delivery well outside off and Rashid Khan looks to helicopter that with his quick hands but gets it down to third man for a single 17.1 Riaz to Rashid Khan, no ball , FOUR , terrible delivery from Riaz. That was a wide full toss, too high as well and slashed past point for a four. Free-hit coming up as well. This will help the batting unit as well Wahab Riaz [3.0-0-16-2] is back into the attack LHQ: 119-6 after 17 overs 16.6 Mohammad Imran to Hafeez, FOUR , short ball, bad ball and put away with a swivelled pull. That was hit hard as he latched on to that short delivery. 22 needed off 18 balls now 16.5 Mohammad Imran to Rashid Khan, 1 run, steered away to third man for a single Load More Commentary
