That's that from ESPNcricinfo's live coverage of Match 10 of PSL 2022. Don't forget us to join us again tomorrow when Karachi Kings cross swords with Peshawar Zalmi. For now, it's goodbye and goodnight from Momin Butt and the rest of the crew!

Shadab Khan: "There are still some things to learn for us despite this performance tonight. We are leaking a lot of runs at the death which is something we need to ponder over. I am extremely happy for Colin and Azam for their performances tonight. I am also very pleased for my own performance too. I want to lead from the front and chip in to the team's good to inspire others. I hope I can continue this form throughout the tournament."

Sarfraz Ahmed: "We made a lot of mistakes in the powerplay and we couldn't hold onto the catches earlier. There are definite positives for us: Naseem Shah made an excellent comeback in the last two overs and Mohammad Nawaz played an excellent innings, too."

Colin Munro is the player of the match. "It was a beautiful wicket to bat one. I wanted to keep the momentum going after the flyer we had got earlier on. I backed my strengths and tried to hit the ball hard. Azam Khan was outstanding, he is a wonderful ball-striker and it's great to have him on our side from this year's PSL."

Presentations coming your way shortly, stay tuned

Usama Abbasi: "Not playing Will Smeed at the top didn't go well for Quetta ! "

Imtiaz Bahar: "Nawaz and Faulkner added 76 runs from 33 balls. They batted extremely well and reduced the loss margin when QG had lost 7 wickets for just 115. "

11.15 PM: A comprehensive display from the two-time PSL champions tonight. Their bowlers have backed up the batsmen's fireworks earlier to secure crucial two points and put United in the top half of the ladder. It is the skipper, Shadab Khan, who takes the honors in the bowling department for his quite outstanding 5 for 28. He plucked out the in-form Ahsan Ali at top before running through the Gladiators' middle-order and breaking their back. Mohammad Nawaz and James Faulkner performed a bit of damage control at the back-end as far as the net run-rate is concerned with some terrific ball-striking. But the United have got the big win in the bag and it will do the team's confidence a world of good.

Islamabad United have won the match by 43 runs

A terrific 47 off 22 from the all-rounder

Muneeb: "Really happy to see Shadab Khan leading his side from the front with batting and bowling. Would be a great support for Baber Azam is upcoming T20 WC in Australia. Great signs of Pakistan Cricket!!"

Chris: "The better the pitch is the lower chance QG have of winning. Their team is set up to strangle teams and chase sub 150 scores. They don't have power batsman in their top 6"

Damage control underway from these two as fifty-run stand comes up
