Hosein’s hat-trick in vain as Zalmi crush Gladiators to seal playoffs berth

In the arena of Pindi Cricket Stadium on a Thursday, Peshawar Zalmi, propelled by Babar Azam's swift fifty, orchestrated a resounding 76-run triumph over Quetta Gladiators in the 25th bout of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 9.

Tasked with pursuing 197, the Gladiators' batting ensemble crumbled to a paltry 120 despite a robust initial partnership. The opening duo of Saud Shakeel and Jason Roy launched an offensive, bombarding the ball across the field until Mehran Mumtaz intervened in the fifth over. Saud's brisk 24 off 12 deliveries, adorned with two boundaries and two sixes, was abruptly halted, initiating a cascade of wickets. Within 10.4 overs, the Gladiators found themselves halfway gone at 76 runs.

Akeal Hosein (14) and Omair Bin Yousuf (10) provided fleeting resistance with a 21-run alliance before succumbing to the relentless onslaught. Mohammad Amir (13) showcased a brief fight with his cameo, but Khurram Shahzad's dismissal of Abrar marked the tail's end.

Mehran Mumtaz, Saim Ayub, Luke Wood, and Shahzad clinched two wickets each for Zalmi, while Naveen-ul-Haq and Aamer Jamal contributed one each.

Opting to bat first, Peshawar Zalmi erected an imposing total, courtesy of Babar Azam's half-century. Openers Saim Ayub and Babar Azam initiated Zalmi's innings with a commendable 46-run stand, terminated by Ayub's departure in the fourth over. Ayub's 12-ball 30, embellished with one boundary and three sixes, set the tone.

Mohammad Haris briefly partnered with Babar, contributing to a 47-run alliance before Rilee Rossouw's direct hit concluded his stint in the eighth over. Zalmi faced another setback as Haseebullah Khan (six) fell to Abrar Ahmed on the first delivery of the 10th over.

Babar Azam, the linchpin of Zalmi's batting, succumbed to Akeal Hosein's lbw trap in the 13th over after amassing 53 off 30 deliveries, adorned with nine boundaries and a six. Tom Kohler Cadmore followed suit in the next over, yielding to Mohammad Hasnain after a brisk 33 featuring four boundaries and a six.

Akeal Hosein's 16th-over hat-trick dismantled Peshawar Zalmi's lower middle-order, dismissing Aamer Jamal (5), Mehran Mumtaz (0), and Luke Wood (0). Though Hosein's feat curtailed Zalmi's scoring spree, Rovman Powell's undefeated 39-run partnership with Naveen-ul-Haq, who notched a prudent 10 off nine deliveries, provided a late surge.

Powell's 25-ball 28, punctuated by four boundaries, bolstered the total. Akeal Hosein spearheaded the Gladiators' bowling assault with figures of 4/23, while Hasnain, Abrar, and Sohail Khan secured one wicket each.
