LQ 199/6 (20 ov)
LQ won by 69 runs
199 on the board. LQ have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Zaman's 53 off 39 (SR 136) was the innings that held everything together, with Naeem (30 off 19) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Khan (2/30 in 4 ov), Meredith (2/38 in 4.4 ov), Labuschagne (1/26 in 3 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 3 wickets fell as LQ tried to accelerate, and what looked like 219+ became 199. HK need 200 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.

LQ 199/6 (20 ov)
LQ won by 69 runs
199 on the board. LQ have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Zaman's 53 off 39 (SR 136) was the innings that held everything together, with Naeem (30 off 19) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Khan (2/30 in 4 ov), Meredith (2/38 in 4.4 ov), Labuschagne (1/26 in 3 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 3 wickets fell as LQ tried to accelerate, and what looked like 219+ became 199. HK need 200 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
