An all-around show by the Peshawar Zalmi helped them overcome Will Smeed’s sensational 99-run knock to beat Quetta Gladiators by 24 runs in the crucial 22nd match of this year’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
Chasing a huge 186-run target, Gladiators batters failed to play a huge knock with Jason Roy departing for 13, James Vince got out for a duck.
Apart from Smeed, it was Sarfraz Ahmed who scored 25 and forged a 53-run stand with Smeed. Iftikhar Ahmed scored 10, while Umar Akmal managed to score just one as Smeed remained the difference between the two teams as his miraculous knock almost pulled off a stunning win.
Smeed continued his hard-hitting by smashing the Zalmi bowlers to all parts of the park by hitting three sixes and 12 fours in a 60-ball knock.
