In reply, once again Qalandars were on course for an easy victory, but another collapse where the team lost last eight wickets for just 44 runs took the match into the super over.
In super over, Qalandars post more than competitive total of 15 on the board. And in reply, United needed three off the final delivery. But then it was Russell’s show, as he stealth the show with a massive six to give his side second win of the tournament.
We will join you again tomorrow for two more matches. Till then, its goodbye from Azeem Siddiqui.
