Peshawar Zalmi scored 196/8 in 20 overs, where as Quetta Gladiators scored 120 in 17.5 overs.
So, finally Peshawar Zalmi beat Quetta Gladiators by 76 runs
Peshawar Zalmi triumph over Quetta Gladiators, securing a convincing 76-run victory in Rawalpindi.
Saim Ayub’s stellar all-round performance, contributing 30 runs off 12 balls at the top of the order and then claiming 2-20 with the ball, earned him the Player of the Match title.
This win secures Zalmi’s spot in the playoffs.
Opting to bat first, Ayub and Babar Azam (53 off 30) propelled Peshawar to a strong start, reaching 70/1 within the powerplay.
Despite reaching 135/4 after 12 overs, the team couldn’t capitalize fully, losing momentum after Babar fell to Akeal Hosein.
Hosein’s hat-trick in his final over, dismissing Amer Jamal, Mehran Mumtaz, and Luke Wood, restricted Zalmi to 196/8, falling short of their potential.
In response, Quetta’s run chase began briskly with Saud Shakeel’s 24 off 12 balls.
However, from a promising 46/0, they faltered and were eventually bundled out for 120 by the 18th over.
Apart from Jason Roy’s 16, no other batsman made a significant contribution.
Ayub, Wood, Khurram Shehzad, and Mumtaz each claimed two wickets, propelling Peshawar into the playoffs with a dominant bowling performance.
