Even though the right-hander had 75 runs scored off 58 balls at a strike rate of 129.31 including seven fours and a six. He couldn&#8217;t lead his side to victory.<\/p>\n<p>Babar&#8217;s strike rate was brought up in the press conference that followed the match. He strongly retaliated by asking the journalist if he ought to play at a strike rate of 300. He said &#8220;Why not strike rate of 300?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zalmi experienced a middle-order collapse after Azam and Mohammad Haris (40 off 21) shared a 76-run partnership for the first wicket . They could only manage to score 156\/8 in their 20 overs.<\/p>\n<p>Hasan Ali took three wickets for United, while Shadab Khan, Rumman Raees, Faheem Ashraf, and Mubasir Khan each took one wicket.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Don&#8217;t mess with Babar Azam tonight ? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HBLPSL8?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HBLPSL8<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nUZFXeUNp9\">pic.twitter.com\/nUZFXeUNp9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Farid Khan (@_FaridKhan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_FaridKhan\/status\/1628834729637171203?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In response, Rassie van der Dussen contributed 42 runs off 29 balls, and United opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz led the run chase with 62 runs off 31 balls. In addition, Asif Ali made a cameo, scoring 29 runs in 13 balls as United won by six wickets with 5.1 overs remaining.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had a good start and executed our plans till then, but we lost back-to-back wickets. Hasan Ali bowled well and we lost the momentum. We tried to get it back, but it was too late and we didn&#8217;t get any partnerships. This was a 180-200 wicket. We are starting well but are not finishing strongly and that is an area we need to work on,&#8221; Azam said in the post-match show.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But there are positives, especially with the way Haris is batting in the powerplay. I started well but didn&#8217;t finish the way I would have liked. It would have been different if there was a proper batter to support me at the other end,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peshawar Zalmi Babar Azam was enraged
