Peshawar Zalmi chased it down. But not comfortably. Not cleanly either.

- Peshawar Zalmi: 179/5 (19.3 overs)
Zalmi won by 5 wickets… with just 3 balls left.
Three balls. That’s basically nothing in T20 terms—and somehow everything.
Match Pulse (That You Don’t See in Scorecards)
It kept swinging. First Quetta, then Zalmi, then… honestly I lost track for a second. That’s how tight it got.
Where Did the Match Actually Flip? (Because It Did… More Than Once)
If you think it was just one turning point—you didn’t watch closely.
Quetta’s Strong Start… Then That Dip
At around 120/2, Quetta looked set for 190+. Easy.
Then suddenly—two wickets. Back-to-back. Momentum? Gone.
That One Over in the Death
Zalmi needed 32 off 18.
Then a boundary… then silence… then panic again. It was messy cricket—but real cricket.
Man of the Match – Obvious Choice or Debatable?
Okay, yes—Babar Azam got it. And yeah, fair enough.
Babar Azam’s Knock (68 off 44)
- 6 fours
- 2 sixes
- And a whole lot of patience
But here’s the thing… it didn’t feel like a dominating innings. It felt like survival at times. Which, in a chase like this, might actually be harder.
Top Scorers – Who Stepped Up… and Who Didn’t?
Not everyone handled the pressure. Some just… froze a bit.
Peshawar Zalmi Batting
- Babar Azam – 68 (44)
- Saim Ayub – 34 (20)

Powell at the end—short, sharp, effective. No drama.
Quetta Gladiators Batting
- Jason Roy – 57 (38)
- Saud Shakeel – 41 (32)
- Sarfaraz Ahmed – 28 (18)
Roy looked scary for a while. Like proper scary. Felt like he could run away with it.
Best Bowlers – Who Actually Made Batsmen Think Twice?
Let’s be real—this wasn’t a bowler-friendly game. Still, some moments stood out.

- Aamer Jamal – 2/35
Wahab still has that… edge. Not always perfect, but impactful.
Quetta Bowling
- Mohammad Hasnain – 2/38
- Abrar Ahmed – 1/27
Abrar was interesting. Tight. Smart. Maybe underused? Just saying.
