LQ 185/5 (13 ov)
LQ won by 20 runs
185 on the board. LQ have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Naeem's 59 off 28 (SR 211) was the innings that held everything together, with Emon (45 off 19) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Ismail (2/47 in 3.3 ov), Siddle (1/26 in 3.1 ov), Akram (1/31 in 2 ov) all contributed. The middle-overs squeeze did the damage — 4 wickets between overs 7 and 15 sucked the momentum out of the innings. MS need 186 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
