Peshawar Zalmi beat Islamabad United by six wickets in the Pakistan Super League 10th match at Karachi’s National Stadium today, while chasing an easy 119-run target.
Despite the small total, the Zalmi were in a bad place after their openers, Kamran Akmal and Imam-ul-Haq, both fell in the first two overs, leaving the side at 6 for 2.
However, then came Tom Kohler-Cadmore 46, Shoaib Malik 29, and Haider Ali 36, who picked up the innings and led to victory for Peshawar Zalmi.
It was a very poor performance from Islamabad United’s batting lineup. Meanwhile, with 4 wickets for 17, Wahab Riaz led Zalmi from the front, enhancing his form.
Islamabad, the two-time winners of the PSL, attempted to keep the batting aggressive, but their wickets fell quickly.
