Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi escapes with a win against Karachi Kings
Meanwhile, talking about the second game of the ongoing Pakistan Super League 2023, both teams had a cracker of a game. In the game, the Kings skipper Imad Wasim won the toss and elected to bowl first. They had a good start as left-arm pacer Mir Hamza trapped Mohammad Haris for lbw in the second over of the innings.
In the same over, Saim Ayub got run out. At 16/2, the likes of skipper Azam and Tom Cohler-Cadmore put together 139 runs for the third wicket. Babar scored 68 off 50 balls including seven fours and a six. On the other hand, Cadmore got to 92 before missing out on a T20 hundred. With Jimmy Neesham scoring 16 off 11 balls and the support of Azam and Cadmore, the team reached 199/5.
In reply, the 2020 winners, the Kings got off to a horror start as they lost four wickets for 46 runs. At this stage, the likes of skipper Wasim and former Pakistan international, Shoaib Malik pretty much brought the team close. They put together 131 runs for the fifth wicket. However, in the end, the 2017 winners, Zalmi won the game by two runs.
