A few overs later in the innings, Karachi Kings skipper David Warner also saved a certain six off the bowling of his teammate and fellow overseas star Moeen Ali. The incident occurred during the eighth Lahore Qalandars over, when unbeaten number three Abdullah Shafique attempted to dispatch Moeen’s length ball high towards the boundary.
