What a lazy way to get out. Tanvir makes a fool of himself. Completely misses the ball to get bowled off Nawaz.

LAH 124-7 (17 overs)

Mills to continue

OUT! Appeal for a run-out, umpire thought for a moment to use his own judgement but then decided against it. Third umpire found Bilawal Bhatti to be just outside the crease!



All hopes now rest on Narine's shoulder. Didn't think this would be such a tight match! Amazing stuff!

OUT! Mills traps Narine leg before with a brilliant delivery! Simply unreadable

Lahore need a miracle to conjure a win now!

Irfan Jr and Yasir Shah in the middle

Lahore need 12 off 12 balls

Anyone's game this!

Yasir skies the ball in the air which finds the hands of Hasan, who has had a brilliant game today!

Quetta win by eight runs!



The Outstanding Performance award goes to Rilee Rossouw

Hasan Khan has been named as the man of the match for his brilliant all-round performance.

"I play from Karachi Zone VI. Yes I was a bit scared at this big stage, but my team always backed me and the confidence they gave me allowed me to play my game," said Hasan.

Quetta captain Sarfraz Ahmed said: "The team played brilliantly. It was a combined team effort with the ball, the bat and in the field. We lost concentration a little bit but I'm glad we made up for it. Hasan played brilliantly. I've said it before and I'll say it again; he is one of the most exciting prospects for Pakistan cricket."
