Peshawar Zalmi vs Lahore Qalandars result shock?
The match between Peshawar Zalmi and Lahore Qalandars became a one-sided affair with Zalmi defeating the defending champions by a huge margin of 76 runs in PSL 11. The game at the National Bank Stadium made glaring holes in the batting line of Lahore.
Bowlers of Zalmi were disciplined at the very beginning. They pressed the button early, and never left the chase to rest. This was accomplished by the removal of Mohammad Naeem by Shoriful Islam in a cheap manner. That pioneering move put Lahore on the defensive.
This was followed by a short-lived revival with the help of Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique. The couple made positive efforts to reconstruct. They seemed to be making a good team, but theirs was not the kind of team that would be dominant in the kind of chase they were engaged in.
It was the turning point when Nahid Rana shattered the stand. His wicketing of Shafique changed the tide in a moment. Thus, Zalmi clamped down and never gave up the game.
Wickets continued to fall frequently. Lahores middle order was not able to counter pressure. This pursuit did not last very long and the team was bowled out at only 97 in 17 overs. It was a show that was way below the standard of a champion in defense.
Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, executed their plans to the latter. Their bowlers remained steady in line and length and the fielding unit supported them strongly. The victory is the fourth in the tournament of Zalmi, which reinforces the team in the ranking. In the meantime, Lahore Qalandars will have to reevaluate their batting strategy in case they wish to remain competitive in PSL 11.
