PSZ innings Not quite 25 runs, but 19 off that last over to lift the Zalmi to a close-to-respectable total. Amir was impeccable up-front but had to leave the field after just two overs. Not before he took two wickets though. The remaining bowlers were excellent too: Irfan with his dead accurate yorkers, Mills with his deception, and Afridi with his flat deliveries to hurry the batsmen. As for the Zalmi, poor running, poor application, and nothing much to speak of other than Smith's one-man show. We'll be back with the run-chase in a moment. Mohammad Amir: "When we saw the first game I noticed that we had to pitch the ball up to get movement. I have a bit of a strain on the right side. I don't wish to aggravate it so I wish to give it a rest in this game. The body language in our team and the way we gel together is extremely important and plays a vital role in our performance." KRK Phew, that got a little too close for comfort for the Karachi Kings, before captain Wasim walked out and whacked his first ball for six. It could have been even closer had the Zalmi taken even one of the plethora of chances which came their way towards the end. But it wasn't to be. There were contributions right through the batting order for Karachi. None of them really kicked on though which is why 132 was made to be a lot bigger than it should have. They'll be happy to get the job done nonetheless. Their second consecutive win in this competition.
