Jamal holds nerve to seal last-ball spine chiller for Zalmi

Peshawar Zalmi successfully defended 147 to beat Karachi Kings by two runs in a nail-biter on Monday. On the last ball, Irfan Khan required a four and quick bowler Aamer Jamal surrendered just a single bye. Zalmi moved to the highest point of the standings and will play the first qualifier in quite a while on Thursday. Their rival not entirely settled on Tuesday after the last cooperative game between different qualifiers Multan Rulers and Quetta Fighters. Double cross heroes Islamabad Joined are different end of the season games group and will assume the washout of Tuesday's down in the Eliminator on Friday. Lords, who were at that point killed from the end of the season games race, completed fifth by and large with four successes in 10 matches, while reigning champs Lahore Qalandars had a terrible mission with only one win and eight misfortunes. Zalmi rode skipper Babar Azam's fifth 50 years of the time, 51, and Rovman Powell's energetic 30 off 18 balls to reach 147 for 6 on an interesting pitch, which offered a lot of turn. All things being equal, the two players were run out. Rulers came tortuously close in coming to 145 for 5. Tim Siefert (41) and James Vince (21) provided their group with an undaunted beginning of 61 by crushing 12 limits between them. Then, at that point, the hitters were choked by Afghanistan quick bowler Naveen-ul-Haq( 2-22) and Saim Ayub, (1-18), in the center overs. Irfan Khan hit 39 not out and nearly won it. Left-arm spinner Arafat Minhas, who got 1 for 11, dumbfounded the most affordable four spell of the association against Zalmi.
