Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Naeem open the batting for the Qalandars. Adam Milne to start with the new ball for the Kings. Here we go then.

A slow start for the Qalandars. Fakhar Zaman was dropped in the first over but Hasan Ali got Zaman's partner Mohammed Naeem in the second. The in-form Abdullah Shafique now comes to the crease.

Hasan Ali is going strong and he gets his second wicket of the night. Abdullah Shafique has to move back to the pavilion. Two early wickets and the runs too are not coming quick. Fakhar Zaman is still there and he would want to go hard in the last two overs of powerplay.

Fakhar Zaman and Daryl Mitchell in the middle but the overall powerplay performance from the Qalandars has been a bit dull. Qalandars fans would still hope for a Fakhar Zaman special. He is looking good right now. Will he go on to score big runs?

A good partnership between Fakhar Zaman and Daryl Mitchell. They have added some quick runs. The partnership is now worth 45 (31). Fakhar is moving towards another half-century. Some ordinary bowling from Fawad Ali.

Lahore Qalandars have put the foot on the accelerator. The partnership now is of 92 off just 49 balls. Fakhar Zaman has already got his half-century and Daryl Mitchell is also nearing towards his fifty. A brilliant outing for these two so far.

It is a Fakhar Zaman and Daryl Mitchell show tonight in Karachi. The run rate is now 10. The partnership is now worth 125. Karachi Kings bowlers yet again leaking runs.

Lahore Qalandars score 201/6 in 20 overs

LQ 201/6 (20)

Fakhar Zaman got 76 off 45, Daryl Mitchell got 74 off 41 and they both have ensured the Qalandars go over 200. Hasan Ali picked up four wickets for the Kings. Last five overs could yield just 51 runs.

Captain leads from the front for the Qalandars. Brilliant first over from Shaheen Shah Afridi and he sends back David Warner and James Vince within first four balls of the chase. What an electric start. Shaan Masood and Time Siefert in the middle now trying to bring Kings back into the game.

Powerplay is done and after two wickets in the first over, the Kings have solidified a bit. Shan Masood and Tim Siefert are there and they have not quite got going in terms of run rate. They need quick runs.

KK have totally imploded. They are heading for a massive, massive loss. Their batting has totally collapsed. Shaheen Shah Afridi took two wickets in the first four balls of the game and now Rishad Hossain has broken the back of KK batting with three wickets in the middle overs.

Karachi Kings need 100 runs in 24 balls

Hasan Ali was batting well and shrinking the margin of defeat but the captain Shaheen Shah Afridi comes back and gets the man, his third wicket of the night. Khushdil Shah is in the middle but how much can he help his team now?

Sikandar Raza wraps things up and Lahore Qalandars win back-to-back games. And that too in convincing fashion. A big total on the board and then the bowlers do the rest. Brilliant performance. Raza finishes with two wickets while Rishad and Shaheen got three each.

A clinical victory for Lahore Qalandars. Fakhar Zaman and Daryl Mitchell did the job with the bat with fantastic 70s for each of themm and then came Shaeen Shah Afridi with the new ball. He got two wickets in first four balls to kill the chase. After that, the Kings were always trailing in the game. Chasing 202, they were bowled out for 136 and handed Qalandars a 65-run win.
