That is it then! Time for the last match of the group stage and it is between the Sultans and the Gladiators. Join us on 12th March at 9.30 pm IST (4 pm GMT) and earlier for the build up. Till then, Cheers!
Babar Azam, the skipper of Peshawar Zalmi and the player of the match says he wasn't expecting the pitch to be this soft. They were looking for a score of 160. Adds he always tries to improve in each game and play according to the situation. Reckons the bowlers bowled really well today. Appreciates the way Saim Ayub bowled.
Shan Masood, the captain of Karachi Kings is in for a chat. Mentions they targeted their fifth win tonight, unfortunately they could not get over the line again. Informs that he is going to go back and talk about the start of the campaign when they won 2 off the first three matches, but then they just could not be consistent. States that if they would've ended on the right side of two close games, then they would've been in the top 4.
...Presentation...
This sums up the season of Karachi. They have lost games which they should and could have won. They have not been on top of their game in tense situations and today was the same as well. They would have loved to end the season on a high but will go home with a lot of disappointment.
Karachi Kings still had the game in control. With the likes of Pollard, Malik and Irfan Khan, you expect them to chase this down but in a sluggish wicket, it wasn't easy to bat and Zalmi got their best game when it mattered the most. Not on the word go but definitely when it mattered the most. Saim Ayub and Naveen-ul-Haq bowled really well in the middle phase. Luke Wood bowled an outstanding penultimate over and Aamer Jamal held his nerves in the last over.
Peshawar Zalmi have done it! They have secured the first place now but more importantly, Qualifiers 1 is guaranteed for them! What a game! The last four matches in the PSL has been absolute thrillers! A superb bowling display from Zalmi. At first, it felt like they were 10-15 runs short and top of that didn't start well but Zalmi knew they just need an opening to get back in the game. Peshawar Zalmi rattled three wickets in three overs and that started a comeback.
