This one came in before the last ball, but it's a nice, nostalgic comment, so I'll stick it in now - Abdul Manan: "Now Karachi Kings need a Miandad, or Miandad's Six!"

Zain Rizvi: "One of the best matches in this tournament so far. Wow, absolutely amazing comeback, they came so far but in the end Sammy was the difference. Wow."

7.10pm What a game, what a finish. At the end of it, Karachi Kings find themselves in a really sticky situation, with only one win from four games. Zalmi have now won three out of four. Ravi Bopara will be gutted, Imad Wasim will not want to look at his team-mates.

Sammy to Mohammad Amir, no run, looks for the wide yorker, wasn't quite a yorker, but Amir goes for the big cover drive and can't put bat to ball. What a win for Zalmi!
 

Last man in, Mohammad Amir. He needs to hit a boundary to win it for Karachi. Once again, huge discussion between Afridi and Sammy. Sammy goes around the wicket.

 
19.5
Sammy to Saifullah Bangash, OUT, fullish outside off, not quite up there for the big cover drive, and the ball beats his outside edge. They look to sneak a bye and Kamran keeps his cool, underarms and hits the stumps direct to have Mir comfortably run out

Usama Mir run out 1 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
 

Four to get off two balls. Bangash on strike. Long discussion between Afridi and Sammy.

Zubair: "Sammy hasn't bowled in this tournament yet"

 
19.4
Sammy to Usama Mir, 1 run, full, close to off stump, goes for the big drive but hits it all along the ground, too close to long-off to think of a second run
 

Usama Mir is on strike. The batsmen crossed over.

 
19.3
Sammy to Bopara, OUT, full-toss outside off, and Bopara has holed out! He could have hit that to a lot of places on this ground, but he's swiped at it, failed to middle it, and picked out the fielder at long-on

RS Bopara c Shahid Yousuf b Sammy 67 (33b 5x4 4x6) SR: 203.03
19.2
Sammy to Bopara, 2 runs, down the track to the wide one outside off, drives to the right of sweeper cover
19.1
Sammy to Bopara, SIX, full and wide, and that is hardly the ball to be bowling to Bopara in this mood. He gets on the front foot and just launches it over the cover point boundary
 

What an over, what a match. Bopara has been off strike for six balls, and he's lost Tanvir, but now he's facing with 13 to get. Asghar has an over left, but I don't think he'll bowl this. Zalmi turn to Sammy. He hasn't bowled yet in this game.
