Rawalpindi: The lady-luck is still not on Lahore Qalandars’ side as they finished on the losing side on third consecutive occasion in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Wet conditions, at the Rawalpindi stadium due to persistent rain on Friday, curtailed the match to a 12-over per side encounter.
Peshawar Zalmi, while batting first, used the long handle to good effect and posted 132 for seven in their allotted overs courtesy brisk innings of 34-run each by man-of-the-match Haider Ali and Tom Banton.
The right-arm paceman Dilbar bowled with pace and guile to check Zalmi’s onslaught in the end. He bagged four wickets for 24 runs in his three overs. Wiese took two wickets for 12 runs off his two overs.
In reply, Qalandars, were under the pump, from the word go and kept on losing wickets to end up with 116 for 6.
Samit Patel with unbeaten 34 off 15 deliveries was the top-scorer for Qalandars while Chris Lynn contributed with 30 off 15 balls. Fakhar Zaman scored a shaky 22.
Lewis Gregory with four for 25 off three overs was the pick of Zalmi bowlers.
