KARACHI: Peshawar Zalmi delivered a dominant performance in the 29th match of PSL 11, securing a comprehensive 118-run victory over the Quetta Gladiators in Karachi.
After being put into bat, Zalmi’s powerhouse lineup surged to a formidable total of 255, anchored by a masterful unbeaten century from Babar Azam. Azam’s clinical display of batting earned him the Player of the Match honours and set a steep mountain for the opposition to climb.
In response, the Quetta Gladiators struggled to keep pace with the massive required run rate, eventually being bundled out for just 137 runs.
Bevan Jacobs provided the only significant resistance for the Gladiators, top-scoring with 34 runs before the innings collapsed. The Zalmi bowling attack proved relentless, led by the duo of Mohammad Basit and Ali Raza, who dismantled the batting order by claiming three wickets apiece.
This commanding win solidifies Peshawar Zalmi’s position at the summit of the points table, while Quetta Gladiators remain in fourth place as the tournament progresses.
