For cricket fans, it was a Super Sunday as two games were scheduled in Karachi with Lahore Qalandars taking on Peshawar Zalmi in the first game of the day and later Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United.
After Zalmi’s batsmen struggled to live up to standards, Peshawar Zalmi posted a total of 140/6. The score was driven by a half-century from Ravi Bopara and a late performance by Amad Butt.
Newly added player Salman Mirza took 2 wickets, while Shaheen Afridi took 3 wickets. Rashid Khan was magical with his bowling as he gave away only 14 runs in his 4 overs, however, he was unable to grab wickets.
Lahore Qalandars began patiently in response, as their first wicket dropped on 29 runs. The target of 141 was an easy task and Qalandars did it with 4 wickets in hand, they chased down the target in the 19th over.
As the Qalandars completed their first win of the season, Hafeez and Rashid Khan finished things off in style.
