Mohammad Irfan (MoM) with 3 wickets, Brad Haddin (54) and Misbah-ul-Haq (38*) play key role in Islamabad's memorable victory
By PakPassion.net Staff (17th Februaury, 2016)
Result: Islamabad United win by 5 wickets with 6 balls remaining - Lahore Qalandars 150/5 (20/20 overs) Islamabad United 151/5 (19/20 overs)
Toss: Islamabad United won the toss and elected to field
Islamabad United: Sharjeel Khan, Dwayne Smith, Khalid Latif, Asif Ali, Misbah-ul-Haq(c), Brad Haddin(wk), Azhar Mahmood, Saeed Ajmal, Ashar Zaidi, Rumman Raees, Mohammad Irfan
Lahore Qalandars: Azhar Ali(c), Cameron Delport, Sohaib Maqsood, Dwayne Bravo, Mohammad Rizwan(wk), Umar Akmal, Kevon Cooper, Ajantha Mendis, Ehsan Adil, Adnan Rasool, Zia-ul-Haq
Lahore Qalandars innings : Lahore came out knowing they needed to win this game, yet played completely carelessly. The first three batsmen were in the dug out by the end of only 16 balls. Lahore needed Maqsood to find his form and Akmal to fire again and luckily for them both played a superb role in their recovery with fifties and Lahore made a very good total of 150, scoring almost a 100 off their last ten overs.
FOW:
1-4 (Azhar Ali , 0.6 overs)
2-4 (Delport , 1.2 overs)
3-6 (M Rizwan , 2.4 overs)
4-103 (S Maqsood , 15.6 overs)
5-144 (DJ Bravo , 19.5 overs)
Islamabad United innings : Islamabad lost two early wickets hoever they rallied superbly led by Haddin's blitz and an excellent fifty. However, as has been their story so far in the PSL, a mini collapse, mix ups included, led to a collapse from 2 down to 5 down. However led by Haddin and then Misbah they comfortably chased the total down, the latter especially playing a superb aggressive cameo.
FOW:
1-13 (Dwayne Smith , 1.3 overs)
2-24 (S Khan , 3.2 overs)
3-93 (K Latif , 12.3 overs)
4-119 (Haddin , 14.5 overs)
5-126 (Asif Ali , 16.2 overs)
Match summary :For Lahore it has been a disaster, a decent squad but very poor performances see them exit the first ever PSL. Zafar Gohar and Umar Akmal especially are the two positives for them. Islamabad will grow in confidence, from being a poor side initially they have grown into this tournament and are now proving a handful under Misbah's captaincy, and will also fancy their chances.
