Commentary

That's all from us!! We were witnessed to a thrilling clash of the giants today, both teams gave it all out, but in the end Sindh came out victorious and replace Khyber at the top of the table, tomorrow is an off day in the National T20 Cup. Enjoy other matches around the globe, until then this is Shashank Surly signing off along with my co-commentator, Tugral Azmi and scorer Yogesh Kumar. Goodnight and goodbye.

Saud Shakeel (Winning Captain): "We have got great momentum towards the end of the group stages heading towards the semi final, our players are throwing their hands up for the team to take us towards the victory, we just stick to our plan and don't try anything new, we have been getting results."

Khalid Usman (Losing Captain): "The match was in our hands till the 16th over, we have lost the game at the death overs in the last three games, we are giving 40-50 runs, by giving too many runs, toss wasn't much of a factor at this wicket feel we got a par score, pitch played the same throughout, we have just haven't been getting the result, we have done well to take the games very close but we have been unlucky top come second in the last three games."

Asif Mehmood | Player of the match: "First of all thank you very much Allah Pak who got this performance done. I just play the simple game when I bowl I just try to bowl in the right area And when I came to bat, the game was in a tough situation and when I took the first shot, I saw that the ball was coming comfortably on the bat."

We have witnessed one of the craziest games of the competition!! Sindh have pulled off a heist here at Multan, they win the contest by 3 wickets, they were on top of the game for most parts but made life tough towards the end, they have showed nerves of steel in this chase, Khyber fought hard but they just didn't have enough on the board and have suffered their third loss on the bounce.

Sindh won the toss and opted to bowl, their bowlers responded well as they made life tough for the Khyber batting unit and restricted them to 147/9, apart from Shahibzada Farhan's 44 off 36 balls, no other batter crossed the 20-run mark. Asif Mehmood stole the show by picking the first hat trick of the tournament and the seventh in the competition's history, he finished with 3/28. Sohail Kahn and Zahid Mahmood two wickets apiece as Abrar Ahmed and Mir Hamza got a wicket to their name.

Sindh batters came out with positive intent, they lost Saim Ayub (7 off 7) and Saud Shakeel (13 off 10) in the powerplay but managed to post 52 on the board, courtesy of Saad khan's mature innings of 31 off 28. Khyber came back strong in the middle phase as they ripped apart Sindh's middle order and reduced them to 106/7 from 55/2.

Asif Mehmood (28* of 17) and Mir Hamza (19* off 15) in the end, didn't give up the fight and added an unbeaten stand of 42 off just 30 balls, which took their side towards the victory with two balls to spare.

Kyhber bowlers gave their heart out, Ihsanullah was the pick of the bowler with 2/16 of his quota of four overs, as Mohammad Sarwar scalped 2/20. Mohamad Imran Jr and Adil Amin got a wicket for themselves, but it just wasn't enough to give their team the two points as they were just rolled away by the unbroken eight-wicket stand.

Both teams are now equal on points at the top of the table and Sindh have leapfrogged the Khyber Pakthunkhwa side, both will be looking to fight out for the top spot. Hang around for the presentations.
