Match Details
However, they lost some quick wickets which again pegged them back. Despite a brisk start they couldn’t quite get going in the middle overs as the spinners tightened the screws around the Peshawar Zalmi batters not allowing them to go for the big shots. Haider Ali and Shoaib Malik shared a useful partnership in the middle to give some momentum to their side.
For the Lahore Qalandars, it was leggie Fawad Ahmed who replaced Rashid Khan in the playing XI who was the pick of the bowlers bagging two wickets for just 26 runs in his quota of four overs. He did bowl a few loose deliveries but bagged some crucial wickets to stall the progress of Qalandars. Khalid Usman provided the much-needed late impetus with a quickfire 19 of 11 deliveries to propel them to a score of 158 runs in their allotted 20 overs.
