FINALLY the covers are coming off. Can we have the LIVE ACTION now? This still remains a bit of mystery.Â
The inspection is on. It seems the outfield is still wet. The umpires are having a closer look. Seems difficult to resume the play at the moment.Â
The rain has stopped but it would be interesting to if the match resumes. The covers are still on
Meanwhile, the covers are still on and it looks difficult that the match would resume soon. The Karachi Whites were looking very steady in the run chase

The play has been STOPPED DUE TO RAIN!
Just what we have been talking about. Saim Ayub has notched up a fifty. The opposition has been a bit sloppy in the field as well and Saim Ayub wonât let you breathe
This has been a batting masterclass from Saim Ayub in the run chase. He is not holding back from taking his chances. He has been a brilliant all-rounder for Pakistan
As expected, a brisk start from the two batters. Karachi seem to follow this template of scoring quick runs. They have been dominant so far in the run chase and will look to build on from here.
Karachi have started the chase and what a way to begin proceedings. A boundary on the very first delivery of the innings. Good fielding effort though!
Karachi Whites have a steady batting unit that can chase down this target. But itâs going to be an easy task for them. They have to replicate what they did in the last match
Bahawalpur have been able to put up a fighting total of 185/8 in 20 overs. Karachi have a strong batting unit but this is surely a formidable score

The 100 is up for Bahawalpur team at the loss of three wickets. It was a good opening stand before Karachi pulled things back in their favour. Faizan and Imran have resisted well and got the side back in the game.
WICKET! Brilliant throw from the deep. Bahawalpur lose three in a quick succession. Thatâs a direct hit. Bahawalpur are three down now for 71
WICKET! Thatâs the second one gone down. Saim Ayub has struck. The spinner has a knack of picking wickets and this time its Saad Khan who will go back. Bahawalpur 63/2
WICKET! Karachi finally has the breakthrough. A short delivery from Umar and Akram pulls that one but miscues the stroke and is caught in the deep.Â
Bahawalpur are scoring runs at a run-rate of 10 right now. Saim Ayub has been brought into the attack. He does have a knack of picking wickets but this time he has been hit for a maximum over long on.Â
This has been an aggressive start from Bahawalpur who have struck 30 in the first three overs. The batters have shown a very ultra aggressive approach so far and Karachi are looking for the breakthrough now
