Peshawar Zalmi put in their best performance of the season to brush aside Lahore Qalandars by 50 runs. A sensational knock from Saim Ayub, whose 36-ball 68 gave Zalmi an early advantage they never relinquished, helped his side amass 207, before four early wickets effected a preemptive strike on Qalandars efforts to chase it down. Fifties from Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hussain Talat restored respectability to the total after they had been reduced to 21 for 4, but too much ground had been lost for any realistic prospects of victory. The result also eliminated Karachi Kings from the PSL, and leaves Quetta Gladiators hanging by an ever-more precarious thread.
