That's all we have for you from ball-by-ball. Thanks for joining us. Hope to see you again tomorrow.

"Trying our best. Sanga and Shehzad started superbly today, that helps us target 180," Shoaib Malik, the Multan captain says. "First six overs are very important, if we don't lose wicket, even if you end up scoring 45-50 runs, with two set batsmen there, it's a struggle for the bowling team. Sanga played an exceptional innings. The plan is to just give yourself some time. You can hit a boundary an over and still get 10 runs through singles and twos later. And with experience, it's possible to do that. Junaid Khan is a very good bowler and I knew when I asked him to come and bowl, he said I'll do it, and I must mention Imran Tahir's name as well. He came up to me, in a crucial situation, said give me the ball and he took those wickets for us. Our goal was to fight till the last ball, even when it seemed like they would win"

"We were in the game right up until the last ball of Pollard's over. We lost by 40 runs, but it was a lot closer than that," Brendon McCullum, the Lahore captain says. "I thought Zaman and Akmal played really well to set us up. But once Umar got out - I thought it was the right risk to take against Pollard, their sixth bowler. It took a great bit of fielding to dismiss Fakhar Zaman and change the state of the game. We'll be better for the run tonight, we've got good batting, good bowling, but we'll cop this on the chin and we'll learn from this"

Imran Tahir is the Man of the Match, good call considering his double-wicket over changed the game. "Very pleased with how I bowled my last two overs. It's a bit different than what I expected. I thought the pitches would turn. It is going to be challenging, bowling at Pakistan domestic players, they play spin really well. I'm just glad I made a strong comeback. I always believe that I don't play for myself, I play for the team and that's why I try to do well. Grateful to the captain for throwing the ball at me after my first two overs [which were poor]"

Seven wickets for four runs, among those a hat-trick for Junaid Khan, the second in PSL cricket. That is a collapse of epic proportions, and to think Lahore were actually looking like they would breeze to victory. Fakhar Zaman had taken them to 132 for 3. But he was dismissed, thanks to a spectacular catch from Ahmed Shehzad, running forward and diving to pick the ball up just as it died on him, and then the innings slumped. The last five wickets fell for only one runs.

GhulamAli: "It was 131/3, when I thoughtI must to go to Kitchen and quickly grab a cup of tea to enjoy last moments. But when i came back it was 136 /all out. You gotta kidding me. "

Muhammad Mubeen: "For me, the wicket of Fakhar Zaman was the turning point of the Match. "

Junaid Khan to Delport, OUT, that's the kindest treatment given to a leg-stump full toss in the history of cricket. Addresses it to deep midwicket where Shehzad doesn't even have to move.

Junaid Khan to Yasir Shah, OUT, top-edge, settles safely in the keeper's hands, and Lahore are collapsing badly. Good thinking from Junaid to go for the bouncer again. It ends up too quick, and it rises too high for the lower-order batsman to deal with
