5.45pm: So these two will meet again in the first eliminator next week. Islamabad United could have moved up to second with victory, but instead stay third, a place ahead of Zalmi. It will be Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars who contest Wednesday's qualifier, with United and Zalmi playing off on Thursday to face the loser of that clash. United made a real hash of their chase here, barely getting a partnership together until Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Wasim swindled 55 off 24 to take the game into the final over. It wasn't to be, as 29-year-old Khurram Shahzad, playing only his third T20, made a name for himself. Anyway, we're not quite done for the day, with the evening match between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings - top against bottom - to come. Thanks for your comments today, see you again in the knockouts. Bye!

W
Khurram Shahzad to Fazalhaq Farooqi, OUT

yorked 'im, Part 2! Full and straight, beats a tentative prod and smashes off stump. Shahzad nails his brief and Zalmi have won by 13 runs, exorcising some of their Pindi demons in the process

Fazalhaq Farooqi b Khurram Shahzad 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 2m) SR: 0

Farooqi is last man in

W
Khurram Shahzad to Faheem, OUT

yorked 'im! Shahzad finishes it! Surely. Superbly bowled, 139kph at the base of off stump. Ashraf has the big wind up but can only drop his bat in time to squeeze the ball into leg. Off fly the bails, and off fly the Zalmi players in pursuit of Shahzad

Faheem Ashraf b Khurram Shahzad 38 (13b 2x4 4x6 18m) SR: 292.3

6
Khurram Shahzad to Faheem, SIX runs

KABOOM! Ashraf plants one in the stands! Low full toss and he clobbers across the line, the ball sails over deep midwicket as the United flags swirl around the ground

"The only thing that was left in this Rawalpindi week of runs was 50 runs being chased off the last 3 overs," chirps Afeef

19.1
1
Khurram Shahzad to Mohammad Wasim, 1 run

just misses his yorker, 139kph on off and swung out to deep midwicket

Khurram Shahzad, who bowled the first over and none since, will attempt to close out the win for Zalmi

IU need 21 from six, just beyond Ashraf's heroics the other night. Forecaster syas they are a 7% shot - which would be good enough for Lloyd Christmas

Salman Irshad to Faheem, 1 run

full and straight, ramped into his helmet grille! Ashraf wears it, via a combination of body and gloves, and is alert enough to run as Wasim calls him through
