Toss

The defending champs won the toss, and they decided to bat first.

Playing 11

First Innings

• Another boring track and tonight was Fakhar Zaman’s concert.
• He made his opponents pay after getting down on 1 and 71.
• He struck cleanly and responded well to both spin and tempo. Shadab was not allowed to settle and was driven out of the game.
• How Islamabad will rue the two missed opportunities, both of which were straightforward.
• Billings kept Fakhar company, and the pair went wild in the middle overs.
• Fakhar was given out LBW shortly before his hundred, but the ball was thrown a centimetre outside the leg stump to rescue him. He deservedly reached his ton

2nd Innings

• The 119-run margin of victory was also the greatest in PSL history.
• This is a no-brainer, unlike yesterday night when Jason Roy delivered one of the all-time great T20 centuries. Islamabad, on the other hand, is bowled out for 107 in 15.1 overs.
• Hales and Gurbaz were crucial; after they left, the remainder folded.
• Hales and Hasan Ali each scored 18 points. Azam Khan, who injured his left hand during keeping, couldn’t use his bat, which was a significant setback.
• But Islamabad was never in the hunt. Rashid Khan had a four-for, and the rest just performed their duties. Lahore wins with a bang.

Man of the match

Another day, another century! Fakhar Zaman for you, friends. FAKHAR ZAMAN. He finally decided to score those runs and get the scoreboard to go crazy. If not for him, this wouldn’t have been easy for the Qalandars. Another great victory for the Qalandars over the United.
