Courtesy exceptional performance from opener Imam-ul-Haq and fast bowler Hasan Ali, Peshawar Zalmi registered a thumping x runs to win against Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League encounter at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Skipper Sammy and Haq powered Zalmi to a fighting total of 153 runs after an initial stutter. Kings were restricted to 109

Hasan Ali vindicated himself as the X factor between both the teams with his four-for 15 spell.

With his first-ball LBW to Livingston and a run-out of Babar Azam in the very next over, the fast bowler virtually ended resistance from the Kings' camp.

Later, the bowler had his last laugh with his wickets of skipper Imad Wasim and Muhammad Aamir.

Skipper Imad Wasim and Muhammad Rizwan had little to offer for Wasim Akram and Mickey Arthur as the Zalmi bowling was too good to handle for them.

Wasim and Rizwan contributed with 26, 32*respectively.

Umaid Asif and Wahab Riaz picked one wicket each in the game.

This is the first time in the PSL history that an entire innings has gone by without a six being hit.
