11.30pm A rather comfortable win for Quetta Gladiators as they move to second on the points table. First it was their bowlers who combined to restrict Islamabad United to only 134 on a good batting track. After that, it was a Kevin Pietersen special that rescued Quetta's chase after an early wobble. Mohammad Nawaz's smart knock (25 off 31) showed he has the temperament to play as per the game's situation. Sarfraz and Misbah shake hands as the teams make their way out. That's all from us today. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of tonight's game. On behalf of Shashank Kishore, this is Sreshth Shah, saying good bye!

Sameer: "That extraordinary catch of Walton was equally entertaining as Denly but went unrecorded, he is infact more unluckier than the bowler !!!"

Mohammad Nawaz: "At the international level, I could not express my batting well, so happy to show it in the PSL. I've been using my mind to bat, so it's getting better. Earlier I used to mess up a bit. KP is an aggressive batsman, he punished the bad balls today. And when he bats well, the pressure is taken off me, and so I felt comfortable with him at the other end. Pietersen helps us in the nets as well. My aim is to be the best allrounder in Pakistan. I hope not to let you (Ramiz Raja) down."
