Muhammad Musa to Azam Khan, out Caught by Haider Ali!! Musa finally gets his man! Too late though, because Azam has all but killed this game. Was another attempted bottom-handed whip over mid-wicket. Hit well and flat but the deep mid-wicket fielder was moved straighter and it's straight down his throat. Sparkling knock from Azam and he has put Islamabad on the doorstep of victory.

Muhammad Musa to Azam Khan, 2 runs, almost a blinder from Malik! Was always going to be a difficult one and it just evades him. Was the slower ball on a good length, Azam made room to go inside out and instead skewed it much straighter. Just about cleared mid-off
Muhammad Musa to Azam Khan, no run, banged in short, pacy, Azam makes room to ramp but misses Muhammad Musa to Azam Khan, FOUR, he's showing off now! Walks across early and sweeps it away over backward square leg. Field was up that side, so he just picked his spot.

J Fuller to Munro, out Munro Run Out!! Total mix up and Munro has to go! Bonus breakthrough for Karachi but it all seems a bit too late now. Was a high full toss, Munro looked to paddle it around the corner and got a big top-edge that just felt in no man's land, between short fine leg and the keeper. Not sure a single was there, not with so much confusion and the throw to the bowler's end is spot on, with Fuller doing the rest. Munro was never making it. End of a potentially match-winning knock from the Kiwi. Munro run out (Wade/J Fuller) 58(28) [4s-5 6s-4].
Tye to Munro, SIX, fireworks continue from both ends! Tye misses his length just a bit and with mid-on up, Munro can't resist going big.

Started with a bang and just kept going, tearing into the Karachi bowlers
