PZ 196/6 (20 ov)
PZ won by 24 runs
INNINGS OVER — PZ 196/6
196 on the board. PZ have set a massive target — the kind that changes body language in the dressing room. Mendis's 68 off 40 (SR 170) was the innings that held everything together, with Haris (38 off 17) providing the support act. The bowling was a collective effort — Ismail (2/22 in 3.2 ov), Siddle (2/29 in 4.1 ov), Nawaz (1/38 in 3 ov) all contributed. The death overs were the story — 3 wickets fell as PZ tried to accelerate, and what looked like 216+ became 196. MS need 197 to win. The innings break will be full of numbers, plans, and second-guessing — but this game will be decided by nerve, not arithmetic.
