Actually, chasing the target of 187 runs, Islamabad United team came very close to victory and needed 6 runs in the last over to win. But in the last over, Huneen Shah bowled brilliantly and gave only 3 runs and also took one wicket. Huneen turned the tables in the last moments and became the hero of the victory by taking Hyderabad to the final. At the same time, after the match, fast bowler Mohammad Ali praised Huneen Shah and mentioned Rahul Dravid.

He said, “After bowling a bad over, I had no words to say, but the way Huneen bowled with restraint is praiseworthy. I always had faith in Huneen.” Ali further said, “I am proud of him. In the last match, he failed to save 14 runs in the last over against Peshawar Zalmi, but today he did wonders and as the great Rahul Dravid says, luck always favors those who work hard, the same happened with Huneen.”
