Right. So Islamabad United top the table with 8 wins, with Multan in second place. These two will play the Qualifier at 5 pm local (1300 GMT) on Monday, 21st June, 2021. And in the night, at 10 pm local (1800 GMT), Eliminator 1 willl be played between teams ranked third and fourth - i.e. - Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings. Do join us for the playoffs. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
Victorious Islamabad United captain, SHADAB KHAN, praises Wasim for his excellent comeback after a poor last match and also a worse first over in this one. Calls him as a good learning kid, who wants to prove himself. Looks at the way his team fought back with the ball in the first innings but is also mindful of the fact that batting collapses need to be taken care of. Understands that Qualifier would be tough against Multan but adds that keeping things simple is the best way to go about stuff.
MOHAMMAD WASIM HAS BEEN NAMED THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH. Wasim says that he is very happy with his performance. On his excellent usage of his variety in bowling, Wasim credits his captain for helping him. Ends by saying that he will donate this money earned in this game to the poor and needy.
Multan Sultans' skipper, Mohammad Rizwan, is happy with the effort shown by his team, which is what he expects and wants. Admits the loss of track from 92/0 during their batting innings and says that the plan was to maintain the momentum and hence, wickets fell, crediting Islamabad's bowling as well. Is confident of beating United in Qualifier. On the numbers being placed by the coaching staff outside the boundary, Rizwan says that it is a suggestion from the coaching staff on certain bowling plans to be executed but the final decision is taken by him on the field.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Earlier in the day, Multan Sultans got off to a flier, adding 92 for the opening wicket but suddenly lost the plot, not even getting to 150. Mohammad Wasim was the star for Islamabad United, with his 4-fer helping his side roar back into the contest. Please stay tuned for the presentation ...
Multan Sultans fought hard in the latter half of the run chase. Shahnawaz Dhani was magical again but the likes of Usman Qadir and Blessing Muzarabani put their hand up in ensuring that Islamabad United were dragged till the final over. It was almost like a repeat of these team's previous encounter in Karachi, in February 2021, where a similar target was chased down by Islamabad United, via huffing and puffing.
A game which did not have much for the fielding side in the second innings. Islamabad United started a bit scrappily but then the trio of Shadab Khan, Hussain Talat and Asif Ali eased the nerves in the dressing room. They were going pretty well but somehow, started to get stuck in a web. Eventually, they clawed their way out.
One of the most compelling death-overs viewing in T20 cricket. Multan Sultans scored 25/6 in their last 5 overs. Islamabad United scored 21/3 in their last 4.4 overs. They have actually made a mountain out of a molehill, chasing a moderate target of 150. But they have won in the end.

Blessing Muzarabani To Iftikhar Ahmed
ISLAMABAD UNITED WIN BY 4 WICKETS! Drama on the final ball. Full, around middle, Iftikhar Ahmed missed his flick and was hit on the pads. Blessing Muzarabani is such a good sport that he actually felt ashamed to even appeal, it was so far down the leg side. But Mohammad Rizwan chose to review. In the meanwhile, the ball deflected to the off side and the batsmen pinched a single as well. There was a direct hit at the striker's end and Multan appealed for this as well. Going by order, the third umpire checked for the LBW. No inside edge and Ball Tracker showed the impact to be outside leg. Now, the other drama. The run out. What had happened was, Mohammad Wasim did not ground his bat at the striker's end. He plonked his foot in and the fielder kicked the ball at the striker's end. But thankfully for United, the foot was down before the bails were up. So not out on both the counts.
Do we have a review on the final ball? Yes, we do. Seems to be going down leg to the naked eye. This should be the end of the match. Impact outside leg. Now, they check for the run out. Safe there too. The match ends at last.

Mohammad Umar To Shadab Khan OUT!
OUT! LBW! Shadab Khan's torturous time is done. He was batting well but the last 15 minutes have been a tribulation by heat. A length ball, outside off, Shadab looks to work it to the leg side but misses and is hit on the pads. Mohammad Umar appeals and the umpire agrees. Shadab takes the review but Ball Tracker shows the ball is clipping leg stump. Shadab departs for a fine 35 from 27 balls. Islamabad United need another 58 from 50 deliveries.
Shahnawaz Dhani comes up for a chat. Thanks the almighty and says that he is enjoying the tournament. On being asked about specific numbers targetted by his team management, Dhani affirms that it is all a part of the plan. Stresses that his plan is to take as many wickets as possible and wants the Maroon Cap to stay with him throughout.
Another break. Shadab Khan is struggling big time with this heat. He calls for the physio and ice scarf yet again. Umpire Aleem quietly has a word with the skipper and signals a STRATEGIC TIME OUT. Things going pretty well for United. No drama as such and their batting reserves are really deep, as Shadab Khan has showed in this game. Unfortunately for Multan Sultans, apart from Shahnawaz Dhani, no one has looked incisive. The mind will already be wandering towards the Qualifier but they will do well to make Islamabad earn this win.

Shahnawaz Dhani To Umar Amin OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT DOWN THE LEG SIDE! That is an outstanding catch from Mohammad Rizwan. A harmless ball, down the leg side, on a length. Umar Amin looks to help it fine and gets a tickle onto it. The ball flies down but so does Rizwan. He dives to his right and catches it with one glove, in his right mitt. Even Amin cannot help smiling. Rizwan was actually standing a foot outside off stump. He ended up a foot outside the pitch, down the leg side. Imagine how far he had to go. Islamabad United need another 92 runs in 79 balls.

Mohammad Umar To Shadab Khan
FOUR! Shouts of 'catch it!' but nobody well. It will go to the fence again for successive boundaries. Landed outside off, fractionally short, Shadab Khan cuts it behind point. The ball beats third man running to his right.

Shahnawaz Dhani To Muhammad Akhlaq OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! The leading wickettaker of the tournament strikes on his very second ball. A length ball, outside off, Muhammad Akhlaq pulls it hard. But it goes low and straight to Mohammad Umar at short mid-wicket. The fielder claims it but Akhlaq is unmoved. The umpires get togeher for a chat and refer it upstairs for the legality of the catch. One look is enough for the third umpire to decide. Straight into the hands. The quickfire 39-run stand is broken. Islamabad United need another 111 from 94 balls.
