First qualifying final
Head to head
Ninth match, Sharjah - Peshawar v Quetta - no result
19th match, Dubai - Peshawar beat Quetta by two wickets, with four balls remaining
Key battle
Tymal Mills v Shahid Afridi
One may be slowly drawing the curtain on a stunning career, just as the other is starting out on his own journey, but their battle could be crucial in deciding the first PSL play-off.
Mills, the new IPL millionaire, was spellbinding when the sides met on Saturday night, mixing fearsome pace with canny slower balls.
Afridi was the last man standing, though, as the veteran allrounder muscled Peshawar over the winning line and to top spot in the league phase.
