Right then, that is it from the game. It was certainly an entertaining one. The Pakistan Super League action continues on Thursday, 9th of March as Islamabad United takes on the Lahore Qalandars. The game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2.00 pm GMT). Until then, goodbye and cheers!
Jason Roy is the Player of the Match for his unbeaten knock of 145 runs off 63 balls.
Earlier in the game, it was a Saim Ayub and Babar Azam show. The former was dismissed at 74, while the latter went on to score 115 runs. Rovman Powell then joined the hitting party by sending the ball over the ropes. They posted a mammoth total of 240 runs on the board.
Peshawar Zalmi were under the pump right from the word go. None of the bowlers were economical, and they leaked runs. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Wahab Riaz managed to pick up a wicket each, and the other bowlers were wicketless. They will certainly be upset with their performance and will look to bounce back and leave this loss behind.
Well, well, what a rollicking performance this has been from the Quetta Gladiators. Jason Roy, take a bow. He pulled his side from deep within the trenches and registered a sensational victory and finished off things in style. They started off with a flier and ran a havoc over the bowlers. The nonstrikers had good cameos, but it was Jason Roy who took Quetta Gladiators over the line with his unbeaten knock of 145 runs off just 63 deliveries.
