Peshawar Zalmi crushed Lahore Qalandars in the first super over of PSL 7 here at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
Coming out to bat, the Zalmi’s openers Mohammad Haris and Hazratullah Zazai failed to provide a decent start to the side as the Qalandars’ speedster Haris Rauf bashed the opening partnership in a second for a mere six.
Coming to the crease, Zazai joined Kamran Akmal but the Afghan flammable batter could not get going for long as he went back to the pavilion in the sixth over; scoring 20. Later on, Kamran also perished as the debutant Fawad Ahmed struck him for 18.
Malik and Haider Ali then resumed the action to rebuild the innings for the men in yellow. The pair appeared solid and recorded a magnificent 58-runs partnership but could not extend their stay at the crease till the death overs. Malik had to go in the 14th while Haider made his way back in the very next over.
Malik hammered 32 runs off 28 deliveries with one boundary and a six. Haider, on the other hand, followed back with his 25 off 22 balls, laced with two boundaries and a six.
Following their departure, the Zalmi could set only 159 runs target in the allotted 20 overs. Hussain Talat remained unbeaten for his 17, while Khalid Usman also made 19 off 11.
For the Qalandars, Fawad bagged two wickets, while Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris, Mohammad Hafeez, and David Wiese took one scalp each.
Chasing the target, Qalandars start was not good as Fakhar Zaman who has been incredible in this season got trapped by Shoaib Malik on the very first of the second innings. Kamran Ghulam came to the crease and joined Phil Salt. Both the batters gathered runs that was ending up at 37 when Phil Salt was clean bowled by Arshad Iqbal. The veteran Mohammad Hafeez stood firm for Qalandars and smashed 49 runs off 44 balls including three fours and one six.
Wicket after wicket, Harry Brook who made his first-ever PSL century in the previous game returned to the pavilion without entering into double figures. He could score only 2 runs. Sohail Akhtar came to support the falling side but he didn't stay so long and got attacked by Muhammad Umar. David Weise was also the one who failed to score many runs. He was out on 1. The skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi helped his side turn the match into a super over. He hammered outstanding 39 runs and remained not out.
In the super over, Lahore Qalandars sent Fakhar Zaman and Harry Brook to shine the brightest but the excellent bowling of Wahab Riaz restricted Qalandars for 5 runs. In response, Shoaib Malik placed two beautiful fours on the opening two balls of Shaheen and won the super over thriller.
For Zalmi, Arshad Iqbal bagged two wickets while Shoiab Malik, Khalid Usman, Mohammad Umar, and Amad Butt took one wicket each.
