Peshawar Zalmis batman Shoiab Malik plays a shot during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) T20 cricket match between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
A supremely out-of-form Ahmed Shehzad’s lethargic 17-ball 10 ramped up the pressure on the rest of Quetta Gladiators batsmen that eventually derailed their run chase against Peshawar Zalmi on Thursday.
Chasing 171 in a rain-shortened 15-over match at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the defending champions were off to just the start they needed as both their openers — Shane Watson and Jason Roy — had wrestled the run rate of 11.4 under control.
