Match Over
PZ 173/7 (20 ov)
PZ won by 76 runs
INNINGS OVER — PZ 173/7
173 — competitive, dangerous, chaseable but only if everything goes right. PZ will feel they have enough. Mendis's 74 off 48 (SR 154) was the innings that held everything together, with Azam (47 off 41) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Afridi (3/22 in 4 ov), Rahman (2/30 in 4 ov), Shah (1/29 in 3 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 6 wickets fell as PZ tried to accelerate, and what looked like 193+ became 173. LQ need 174 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
