Peshawar Zalmi won by seven wickets against Karachi Kings, scoring 186 runs while restricting their opponents to 182. This decisive victory highlights Zalmi’s impressive form, marking their seventh consecutive win in PSL 2026.
Kusal Mendis was instrumental for Peshawar, scoring 80 not out off just 43 balls. His performance was complemented by Farhan Yousaf, who contributed a solid 58 not out from 36 deliveries. Together, they formed an unbeaten partnership of 119 runs, which proved crucial for their team’s success.
On the other side, Karachi’s Jason Roy was a standout performer with the bat, scoring 85 runs off 51 balls. Despite his efforts, Karachi fell short after losing four wickets in the last over—an unexpected collapse that ultimately cost them the match.
In a remarkable individual achievement, Ali Raza became the youngest Pakistan bowler to take a T20 hat-trick at just 18 years and 35 days old. His hat-trick came during the final over of the innings when Karachi lost four wickets, showcasing his potential as a rising star in cricket.
Karachi Kings scored 182 for 9, a total that seemed competitive until Peshawar’s batting lineup took charge. The match score of 186 for 3 reflects Peshawar’s dominance throughout the game.
This latest win continues to solidify Peshawar Zalmi’s position as a formidable team in this year’s tournament. Their consistent performance raises questions about whether any team can challenge their supremacy moving forward.
Details remain unconfirmed about how other teams will respond to this ongoing success. As it stands, Peshawar appears to be on track for a strong finish this season.
