Welcome back! The players are out in the middle. Dwayne Bravo will start the proceedings. One slip in place...
Lahore Qalandars batters finally turned up. Azhar Ali and Cameron Delport set the tone with a 62-run opening stand. Once Ali got out, Umar Akmal took charge and sparkled the innings with a flurry of fluent strokes. He smashed the ball to all corners of the ground and looked unstoppable throughout the knock. Recorded the fastest fifty of the tournament so far and helped his team achieve a mammoth total. Delport too played his part as he enjoyed the aggressor role before Akmal took hold of the proceedings. Be back in about 15 minutes for Quetta Gladiators' chase...
