Islamabad United broke Lahore Qalandars’ hearts when they edged out the struggling franchise following a super over in the 12th fixture of the Pakistan Super League 2018 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
McCullum hit a six off the first Sami delivery but was caught on the second. Both United and the Qalandars fans must have felt a bit queasy when the woefully out-of-form Akmal walked in. A heave and a dot ball later, Akmal’s mishit sailed over the third man fence.
n the end, the Qalandars scored 15 off their Super Over, setting a 16-run target for United.
Following a single, McCullum dropped a difficult catch of Asif Ali at the boundary with the ball sailing over the boundary after escaping the Kiwi veteran’s grasp.
Andre Russell hit a boundary, leaving United in need of three runs for win off the final ball. The final Mustafizur Rahman ball was dispatched for six as United won via the one-over eliminator and the Qalandars lost their fourth straight game of the tournament.
