We're told teams are allowed to make changes to their squads till 8 March. So who knows, Sharjeel could yet be a part of Pakistan's World T20 squad.

Hemnath N: "That 18th over by Wahab was amazing, bowled 8 deliveries yet gone for only 5 runs. Truly a remarkable bowler. Not to forget that fiercy spell to Watto in Semi finals."

What an exhilarating first half. For a while, it didn't look like Islamabad United would get 150, especially when Dwayne Smith was struggling to get bat to ball. Then, Sharjeel Khan announced himself in a manner few saw coming, bringing up the first century in PSL history. They've managed to finish well. Considering most games have been in the range of 130-150, Islamabad would believe they have a good chance. Join us shortly for the chase

Wahab Riaz to Sharjeel Khan, 1 run, OUT, he's gone while trying to take a second run. That brings an end to an innings of his lifetime. This one was hit down the ground, Wahab misfielded and deflected the ball towards mid-on. Sharjeel's desperation to keep strike meant he looked to pinch a second but his partner turned his back, and it was all too late by the time he could attempt to get back

Sharjeel Khan run out 117 (62b 12x4 8x6) SR: 188.70
