It has been per week of nail-biters in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) because the T20 match noticed one other last-over end with Peshawar Zalmi registering their third straight win in the continuing season. It was a dramatic turnaround for the Babar Azam-led facet in Lahore on Monday, February 26 in the final 13 balls of the sport towards Islamabad United because the 2017 champions prevailed by 8 runs.
Islamabad United was working away with the sport at 181/3 chasing 202. Azam Khan was working riot having smashed 75 off simply 29 balls and it appeared it might recover from for the Zalmi fairly shortly regardless of Babar’s second PSL century. Azam’s blitz had virtually sealed the sport for the United because the burly wicketkeeper batter had smashed six 4s and as many 6s punishing the Zalmi bowling assault. However, regardless of going for a six on the penultimate supply of the 18th over, Naveen ul Haq got here again effectively to get the large wicket of Azam who mistimed a lofted shot to mid-off.
What adopted was a automotive crash for the United! Arif Yaqoob, the leg-spinner bowling the nineteenth over, received the opposite set batter Colin Munro stumped on the very first ball. He adopted it up with three extra wickets in the over of Haider Ali, Faheem Ashraf and Hunain Shah to show the sport on its head. Yaqoob ended with figures of 5/27.
Watch the video right here:
Islamabad United went from 181/3 to 183/8 losing 5 wickets in 7 balls needing 19 runs in the ultimate over. Salman Irshad did go for a six in the ultimate over however was in a position to defend 19 runs and Zalmi gained the match as United have been subjected to their third straight defeat after kicking off the match with a win towards the defending champions Lahore Qalandars.
Azam Khan had single-handedly given Islamabad a shot at chasing the goal of 202 but it surely wasn’t to be in the top.
