Peshawar Zalmi struggling in there run chase against Islamabad United. IU captain played an impressive knock of 80 runs on 51 balls and that helped IU in setting a target of 196 runs. Good thing for IU is that they have got important wickets of Saim Ayub and Babar Azam. Peshawar Zalmi have lost 4 wickets and haven't completed 6 overs. Zalmi need 179 runs in 88 balls and that's a big asking. We just saw a tight finish in game between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, so can't say Zalmi's are out of the contest.
In this match Islamabad United won by 29 runs against Peshawar Zalmi. Peshawar Zalmi only manage to score 167 runs in a loss of 9 wickets and lost the match. The Player of the Match is Shadab Khan from Islamabad umi for his all-around batting and bowling performance first they picked 3 important wickets by giving 41 runs. Shadab Khan batting performance is brilliant scored an 80 runs inning in just 51, but he didn't complete a well-deserved century by 20 runs short.
Yesterday, Babar Azam stood no longer at the pitch of Rawalpindi. When Babar Azam came to play ball so on that time, the whole crowd chanted Babar and just Babar to see his batting but on his first ball, he tried to take a single but in that single, they had very difficulties because on that ball, he was run out. First, he tips a ball from his bat, and then the ball goes forward but Alex Hales catches it and puts it into a direct hit to the wickets. If Babar Azam hadn't taken a single or dive there when he had come to the ball so he had a chance to play more time.
When Babar Azam was out, his partner Saim Ayub was also out, and slowly all the whole team had a chance to out in the early overs but still, they played very well.

They lost the match by 29 runs otherwise they played so poor at the start of the innings of Peshawar Zalmi but later their middle order stable the game and came very near to the win of Peshawar Zalmi but they couldn't win it. However, they played like a fighter and made their hopes till the last over but to win from there was not possible for Peshawar Zalmi. Had Babar Azam stayed on the wicket, so we could have seen different results.
