Imran Khan to Pringle, out Caught by Muhammad Arif!! That's the end. A fifer to cap off what has been a brilliant exhibition with the ball here for Imran Khan. Pringle had to go for his shots given what the equation is and miscues an airy hammer into the palms of long-on. A weakened Zalmi win by 35 runs. Pringle c Muhammad Arif b Imran Khan 13(10) [4s-1 6s-1]
WICKET01:23 PM
Imran Khan to Pringle, wide, too short. Too high. Well over the hook and the keeper too cannot collect cleanly. The umpire doesn't forgive
01:22 PM
Imran Khan to Pringle, FOUR, much needed. He's keeping his side in the hunt here with these hits. A wide short one from Imran Khan and Pringle, despite taking one hand off his bat manages enough meat to slap it over the covers
FOUR01:22 PM
Imran Khan to Pringle, no run, a backing away slice to cover
01:21 PM
Imran Khan to Pringle, no run, reverses and looks to cut it away. Under-edges it to the keeper on the bounce
01:21 PM
Imran Khan to Pringle, SIX, one of the flattest hits. Wields the long handle as he spots the slower ball and muscles it over cow corner. Bisecting the two converging fielders in the process

Irfanullah Shah to Pringle, no run, pin-point yorker. All Pringle can do is look to jam it out
01:19 PM
Irfanullah Shah to Pringle, out Rushworth Run Out!! 1 run completed. Oh dear. When the bowler doesn't a wicket, it falls to a run out. Some lazy running here from Rushworth, who neither slides nor stretches in looking to make it in while attempting the second. Pringle carves it over extra cover and a solid flat throw coming in from the deep at the bowler's end is too good for Rushworth in the end. Rushworth run out (Nabi Gul/Irfanullah Shah) 1(2)
WICKET01:17 PM
Irfanullah Shah to Pringle, no run, a ferocious slap to find a diving mid-off cut it off
01:17 PM
Irfanullah Shah to Rushworth, 1 run, another blockholer, jammed down to long-on

Imran Khan to James Weighell, out Caught by Muhammad Ilyas!! You deny him the hat-trick but he'll get you the very next ball. Weighell in desperation of the soaring run-rate looks to swing across the line. Connects but fires it right down the throat of the fielder waiting around at the deep mid-wicket fence. James Weighell c Muhammad Ilyas b Imran Khan 0(2)

You'd have to say Durham lost the plot. Big time. They were firmly in the chase with a solid opening stand but once they fell, it was a procession. A procession that kept going further down by the ball. In the end, Zalmi end up getting vital points to go up the ladder. Imran Khan with all his experience proved to be too hot to handle for the batsmen, who kept chipping away their wickets to meek shots. The win though was set up by the half-century from Gul providing the platform on this sluggish track.
