Exceptional bowling at the death doesn't allow them to make up for the slow start and Peshawar Zalmi scrap their way to a subpar 147/7. Decent contributions from Babar, Haris, and TKC have given them something to fight with. Early wickets and you never know, Multan may be on the backfoot. Jordan fired in yorkers at will and got them to reverse too. Usama Mir spun a tight web around the batters and didn't let them break free so a clinical and disciplined bowling show contained PZ to just 147. Stay with us for the chase

Jordan to Wood, 2 runs, Hitting the blockhole for fun, another tough one to contend with at middle, gets some bat on it and plinked out to long-on, rushing back for the second

Anu: "I don't know why everyone is moaning about Babar. The guy, like Misbah, keeps the ship afloat when everyone else abandons ship at the first sign of rough seas. Maybe the problem is the other batsmen aren't able to bat aggressively on a consistent basis to be an ideal foil to Babar. I really don't like reading PSL commentary whenever Babar is involved for this very reason. It is a sea of negativity when in reality, Babar is who helps his team finish their innings."

Jordan to Wood, no run, Nails another searing yorker-length delivery angling across off, tries to help it behind square and gets rapped on the pads

Smartush : "@Ausaf, what do you mean by last 15 years? Have you not seen playing Muhammad Yousuf, Younis khan, Misbah ul haq, Abdul Razzak, Azhar Ali, Muhammad Hafeez even Shoaib Malik?"

Ali: "It's baffling how oblivious other city audiences are to Karachi's issue. It's virtually impossible to get to the stadium unless you have a ride. And even then, like someone else mentioned, you park 2-3KM away from stadium, then walk to the stadium, only to have a pathetic, non-enjoyable view of the game. So, for anyone who is quick to judge Karachi, kindly visit the city and try watching a match here for yourself. "

Abbas Afridi to Wood, 2 runs, Fuller at the stumps, thrashes it across the line in the acres of spaces at deep midwicket, hares back for the second

Ausaf: "Pakistani fans are not used to having a batsman that actually bats to the situation consistently, any batsman in the last 15 years just throws his wicket away when the going gets tough instead of valuing their wicket. Hence the Babar criticism. "

Jordan to Powell, OUT, Powell has to go! Another one bites the dust, jockeys across off and spoons this low-full toss wide of off to M.Ali at short fine. A simple catch for the pacer. Mistimes his shot and that's another prized scalp because he is a dangerous customer.

Willey to Powell, FOUR, Hurled a mean bumper, he went hard at it and got a top-edge that sailed over keeper's head for a four. That's a better over for Zalmi. They need a few big ones to post a fighting total
