That's it from the coverage of the thriller that we had for you in PSL 2024. We will be back tomorrow with more cricketing actions from around the globe and across formats in our network. For now, this is AyanChatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Saptak Sanyal alongside scorer/analyst ParasYadav, Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!
Rilee Rossouw (Quetta Gladiators Captain)- "I think it's a great time of cricket. Sherfane has played a stellar innings and Akeal also. We settled before the season kicked off and we ticked almost all the boxes before coming to the tournament. You lose some and you get some at days. We have had a great day today."
Sherfane Rutherford(PlayeroftheMatch): "Yes, first of all thank god for the opportunity. Yes, not easy. But that's what we are paid for. Happy to contribute and do the job for the team. It started with conversation with Shane on mental health. Focus on the process and keep it simple and focus and bat deep. As I said, it is my job to bat long and do it for the team. That's what we are paid for and glad I can contribute to the team's cause with the help of the bowlers."
Player of the Match: Sherfane Rutherford.
Superpower of the Day: Usman Tariq.
Energetic Batter of the Match: Jason Roy.
Moment of the Match: Tim Seifert.
Time for the presentations.
Shan Masood (Karachi Kings Captain)- "We put ourselves in a really good position and it is really a hard pill to swallow. I thought we had a very good start and that allowed us to have a little blip. Shoaib Malik and Nawaz helped us to recover from the wicket loss after that and then we went to score a safe total. I think we have slipped a few fielding chances. I don't want to pin-point a mistake but yes if we got the wickets of Saud Shakeel and Roy earlier, things would have been better for us. We will get a couple of days off and we are taking it as positively as we will get some time to regroup before the match against Multan. We have won three games out of five, not bad."
Shane Watson (Quetta Gladiators Coach)- "The blood pressure has gone up and my heart rate is quite higher I can feel. Sherfane Rutherford has had a game and that's some incredible finish from him. He is really a powerful cricketer. The partnership of Akeal and Sherfane was too much crucial for us and when you have these type of partnership in the lower order, it is always a plus. I have tons of memories playing here in Pakistan and now I have come back as a coach and things are going well."
