Hello and Welcome to CricketCountry’s live blog post for the Match No. 16 of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2017. I am Paulami Chakraborty and I will bring to you the live updates from the match between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi to be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Lahore Qalandars are currently at No. 2 of the points table while Peshawar Zalmis are second from the bottom of the table. Though Qalandars are the favourites for the match, Zalmi are not very far behind and with this match, they will try to keep their chances of making it to the qualifiers alive.
Qalandars have won three of the six matches they have played so far. Their last was against Islamabad United, a match they won by one wicket. Islamabad put up a total of 145 for 8 at the end of their innings. Aamer Yamin and Yasir Shah were the two most successful bowlers for Qalandars in the match. Chasing the target, Umar Akmal was the star, scoring 66 off 42 runs. He hit 8 fours and 3 sixes in the process. It was Grant Elliott’s special 26 off 17 towards the end that won them the match.
Zalmi played their last against Karachi Kings and lost it by 9 runs. Batting first, Karachi Kings put up a big 174 for 4 in 20 overs. Shakib Al Hasan and Iftikhar Ahmed were the successful bowlers but the rest gave away too many runs. The chase was not a successful one as despite Shahid Afridi’s 28-ball 54, Zalmi lost the match.
Squads:
Lahore Qalandars: Jason Roy, Brendon McCullum (c), Fakhar Zaman, Umar Akmal, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Grant Elliott, Sunil Narine, Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Irfan Jnr, Bilawal Bhatti, Yasir Shah, Aamer Yamin, Azhar Ali, Cameron Delport, James Franklin, Ghulam Mudassar, Chris Green, Saif Badar, Usman Qadir, Zafar Gohar.
