FOUR! Ben Sears to Jahandad Khan. Off cutter back of a length, down leg side on the back foot Slog, Gloved in the air uncontrolled past fine leg for 4 runs. That's the end of the Quetta Gladiators' innings. They finish on 182 for 6. Saud Shakeel anchored the innings with a patient knock, holding things together before falling just as he looked set to accelerate. Rilee Rossouw added class and fluency, finding the boundary regularly and giving Quetta momentum in the middle overs. The real spark came from Hassan Nawaz, who lit up the stadium with a blistering cameo, smashing five sixes in no time and changing the complexion of the innings.

Reverse Swing-In length ball, outside off stump on the back foot Slog, thick edge in the air uncontrolled to backward point, direct hit by Rossouw. That's the game! Quetta Gladiators have stormed to victory, sealing a dominant win over Rawalpindiz.
