Match Over
PZ 246/3 (20 ov)
PZ won by 159 runs
INNINGS OVER — PZ 246/3
246 on the board. PZ have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Mendis's 109 off 52 (SR 210) was the innings that held everything together, with Azam (87 off 51) providing the support act. Afridi (2/55 in 4 ov) and Shah (1/37 in 4.1 ov) did the damage between them. KK need 247 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
