Anurag D: That's it from the comm box. Thank you everyone for joining us during the course of this match. This is me, Anurag Dasgupta and I thank my co-commentators, Vikhyat and Anurag Singh for joining me to cover this amazing clash.
Anurag D: The man of the match award goes to Haider Ali for his brilliant half-century.
Anurag D: Moment of the match award goes to Saqib Mahmood.
Anurag D: Imam-ul-Haq started the innings on an aggressive note for the Zalmi's. but he was eventually dismissed for 41 by a peach of a delivery by Zahid Mahmood. Haider Ali took the onus on himself and looked in pretty good touch before being dismissed by Dale Steyn for 50. At one stage, Zalmi's were 145 for 5 when Sherfane Rutherford decided to break the shakles and smoke the bowlers all around the Karachi National Stadium. His innings was the difference maker as the big West Indian scored 36 of just 18 deliveries to take the Zalmi's across the line.
Anurag D: Earlier in the day it was the Peshawar Zalmi who won the toss and elected to bowl first. Gladiators lost their opening two wickets cheaply, but then the experience of Sarfaraz Ahmed and Faf du Plessis, took the game to the opposition. Faf in particular looked in good nick and kept the scoreboard ticking. He got out after a well made 37 of just 26 deliveries. After his departure, Skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed took the lead and started smoking the Zalmi's all around the park. He shared a crucial 105 run partnership for the fifth wicket along with Azam Khan, who made a well compiled 47 of a mere 26 balls to take the score of Gladiators to 198 runs.
Anurag D: That's it, the match has ended and Peshawar Zalmi have won this match with 3 balls to spare. What a sensational run chase by them. With this victory, the Zalmi's have now 4 points from their opening three matches.
19.3 Mohammad Hasnain to Sherfane Rutherford
4 This will end it, Rutherford crunches this full and wide delivery through the covers for a boundary and ensures a victory for his team, that was some quality hitting from him and made sure that he batted out till the end and that paid him dividends.
19.3 Mohammad Hasnain to Sherfane Rutherford
4wd OHHH NO NO NO!!! What have you done Hasnain after two peaches up front, bizarre from the bowler, looking to bowl full and outside-off, the ball slips from his hand to the wide off tramline and too wide infact for the keeper as well, Rutherford screams as he senses a victory now
19.1 Mohammad Hasnain to Wahab Riaz
W Hasnain takes out the stumps off the ground, goes full and straight and the stumps are rattled, Wahab misses and Hasnain hits. Is it too late for the Gladiators or can they sneak in from here?
