As is the norm with Super Overs, the chasing side gets to bat first. Interesting to see who comes out for Lahore. Fakhar is one, understandably, and it will be Harry Brook with him. Wahab, expectedly, will bowl the Super Over.
23:24 Local Time, 18:24 GMT, 23:54 IST: Incredible scenes here at the Gaddafi Stadium. Lahore have come out of nowhere to have a sniff at this game. The chase had gone nowhere for most parts with none of the batters finding any tempo at the crease. Wickets kept falling, the asking rate kept mounting as Peshawar's bowlers made optimal use of sluggish conditions to choke the run flow. With 24 needed off the final over and the lower order in, surely you thought this game was done. But Afridi had other ideas. There's something about this surname that creates incredible havoc and that's precisely what he did. With the bat for a change. Smashed a four and bludgeoned three sixes - the last of them being off the final ball to tie the game. Peshawar are definitely stunned here. They'd be wondering how they let the match slip. Poor young Umar, you've got to feel for him. But what about Afridi though - exceptional hitting.

Mohammad Umar to Shaheen Afridi, SIX, an extraordinary smash into deep mid-wicket to send the game into the Super Over! Length ball, Afridi shuffles and heaves it with all the power he can muster, sends it deep over the mid-wicket fence. Has his arms aloft in his trademark celebration, we're used to seeing that for his wickets, this is for his batting for a change

Right then. A six needed for a Super Over. Can't put it beyond Afridi to do that.
