A disciplined effort with the ball followed by a clinical run chase gives Peshawar Zalmi a much-needed win. Islamabad United have now lost two in a row after winning their first five and they went with four changes to their line-up today. Chasing a modest total, Zalmi lost three wickets inside the powerplay and found themselves in a tricky situation but that's when Sadaqat and Babar stitched together a 100-plus partnership and made light work of the target. Sadaqat was calm and composed at the crease on his PSL debut, pacing his innings beautifully while Babar did what he does best. The situation was tailor-made for him: he took his time before opening up with some delightful strokes, including those trademark flicks through midwicket. Islamabad might consider fielding their full-strength side in the next game to get back to winning ways and play their strongest combination

Dwarshuis to Bryant, FOUR, Plenty of oomph behind that smack in the vacant area at midwicket and Peshawar Zalmi win it in style. It was back of a length delivery that didn't do much in the channel, he pulled it with ferocity across the line.

Raash95: "Sadaqat should be the MOM"

Naseem Shah to Maaz Sadaqat, OUT, Booms the drive but ends up nicking it to the keeper, wanted to play the glory shot, it was a teasing off-stump line, wanted to hit straight. Nevertheless, he has done his job and shown no jitters at all, looked a focused individual who reads the game well and plays according to the situation

Naseem Shah to Babar Azam, 1 run, Fraction short and gets a hint of inward seam movement off the deck, clipped nicely to deep backward square and it's a welcome fifty for Babar, he needs runs to get back to his normal service and this will make him feel better for sure
