Match Summary

Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars Live

Shoaib Malik after that match-winning knock: "To be honest, we did speak out during the meetings. I told during the meetings when match goes into crunch situations, don't panic. I remembered my own words. It wasn't easy.

"After playing for so many years, you just need to calm yourself. It is always like playing your first game when it goes into a crunch situation. Niazi is an exceptional talent. I was telling him to watch the ball. He has got talent. As a youngster, you just need to place it."
