Peshawar Zalmi vs Islamabad United
LIVE UPDATE
- This is all from Dubai International Stadium, TheNewsTribe.com will see you tomorrow with
Quetta Gladiators vs Karachi Kings Match at 15:00 local time (11:00 GMT | 16:00 PKT).
- Peshawar’s 145 did not seem out of reach, but thanks to some fine left-arm spin from Mohammad Asghar, it proved many more than enough. The uncapped bowler dismissed the Pakistan Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq, took two blinding catches to dismiss Andre Russell and Sam Billings and is a shoo in for the Man of the Match award. A few too many early wickets left Islamabad in strife on a slow turner and even with their powerful middle order, they came up short for a second night in a row.
- Mohammad Asghar from Zalmi was picked Man of The Match for his 20-3 & 2 crucial catches.
- PESHAWAR ZALMI register their first win in PSL, beat ISLAMABAD UNITED by 24 runs.

Islamabad United need 146 runs to register their first win in the tournament!
So, after a slow start, Zalmi have finally managed to get a fine total on board to bowl at. It would be interesting to see how they defend it! A job well done for Islamabad United, Roman Raees and Ajmal were simply awesome with the ball tonight.

9:00: The pitch is dry, and a little cracked. Expect it to turn. Also we are told that Peshawar have flown in students from the Army Public School, which was attacked by terrorists in 2014, to watch this game.
8:45: Dawid Malan, Shane Watson, Tamim Iqbal and Shaun Tait are their overseas players. Misbah says Samuel Badree has been dropped and I think I heard that Saeed Ajmal has been drafted int the XI. Will confirm that in a bit.
TOSS: Peshawar Zalmi have won the toss and will bat
8:30: Hello and welcome to #TheNewsTribe’s coverage of the #PSL match between Peshawar Zalmi, led by the inimitable Shahid Afridi and Islamabad United, led by the equally inimitable but in a whole other way Misbah-ul-Haq. Will today’s events be anything like these from Andrew Hughes’ imagination?
Boom Boom Afridi will lead the Javed Afridi’s PSL franchise Khpla Team. Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Junaid Khan and Sammy will take on United’s Misbah ul Haq, Russell, Babar Azam and Mohammad Irfan.
Wahab Riaz, who bowled furious spell against Watson in cricket world cup 2015, will come face to face again after the long period.
