End of over 15 (12 runs) Islamabad United 119/4 (32 runs required from 30 balls, RR: 7.93, RRR: 6.40)

Asif Ali0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
Misbah-ul-Haq22 (9b 5x4 0x6)
Zia-ul-Haq4-0-38-2
Azhar Ali3-0-18-0
14.6
Zia-ul-Haq to Asif Ali, no run, short ball wide of off stump, chopped towards backward point
 

Asif Ali is the new batsman.

 
14.5
Zia-ul-Haq to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT, slower ball on off stump, and Misbah inside-edges the flick into his pad. Rolls away a short distance into the leg side and he chances the quick single. Haddin doesn't respond to Misbah's call immediately, and by the time he starts moving, Zia has quickly chased the ball down and he throws down the stumps direct to find him well short at the keeper's end

BJ Haddin run out 54 (42b 5x4 2x6) SR: 128.57
 

Hafiz Ameer Ham: "Zia-ul-Haq looks like brother of Wahab Riaz :)" -- Ha! Thought I was the only person who saw that resemblance. Now he's coming around the wicket.

 
14.4
Zia-ul-Haq to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, short on leg stump, and this one just sits up at waist height, easily pulled away to the long leg boundary
14.3
Zia-ul-Haq to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, short outside leg, Misbah doesn't quite middle the pull, but his placement - whether intended or not - was perfect, top-edges it to the vacant long leg boundary
14.2
Zia-ul-Haq to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, length ball on middle stump and Misbah flicks it away flamboyantly, Cooper has to sprint quickly to his left to stop it at deep square leg, he got a hand to it, but there was simply too much momentum on that shot
14.1
Zia-ul-Haq to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, not quite full enough for the cover drive as he slanted it out wide of off stump. Too early into the shot and Misbah drags it towards mid-on
 

Here's Zia.
