Rvel Zahid: In the end, Ben Cutting made the task look pretty easy. The clean striker of the ball raced to 42 off a mere 17 balls and steered Quetta out of trouble, helping them bag another win. Take no credit away from Mohammad Nawaz as he played the supporting role in the match-winning stand with Cutting. Islamabad posted a respectable total on this crease but just leaked too many boundaries and gave away extras that made the difference in the end.

That's it, folks! Amad has been hammered for another maximum, he tried the slower one but Cutting was equal to the task, loaded up and he thwacks it over the bowler's head for the winning stroke

What a strike that is from Cutting.. He saw there was a wider coming in but the length is wrong, dished up perfectly in the slot. Gets down on one knee and slams it over long-on's head. Four needed off three now

Spears in a supernova right in the blockhole, Nawaz tried to get underneath but didn't get all of it and the ball dies down quickly short of mid-on. Only a single. Must get a boundary on the next ball

Excellent start from Amad, gets the ball right in the blockhole. The ball just slides under his bat, missing Nawaz's almighty heave.

Nails a perfect yorker right in the blockhole, he digs it out through mid on and settles for a run after thinking about two. A fascinating contest between bat and ball

Superb bowling once again, nails the wide yorker. Nawaz stays still and tries to use his reach to put some bat on it but the ball is too good.

Goes a bit short and offers a bit of width, he stands tall and whacks it away to cover, Malan swoops to his left and makes a fantastic diving stop

Excellent slower tennis ball bouncer, bodyline attack and Nawaz is beaten for the lack of pace, miscued the pull

Drama all around in Rawalpindi. Slower ball on the stumps, Cutting gets low and swats it over deep square leg region to get it over the fielder's head but Ingram did a fabulous job in getting hold of that one. Turns out, Rumman has overstepped.

Slings a full-length delivery fired at the stumps and he follows the batsman who was shimming down leg
