So, 144 is what Peshawar Zalmi will need to stay alive in the tournament and avoid relying on other results to advance to the playoffs. PZ came back terrifically after the first 10 overs, taking wickets at regular intervals. Mohammad Ali, Luke Wood, Alzarri Joseph and Ahmed Daniyal were all terrific with their plans -- sticking to hard lengths and good areas. They had a clear strategy and it worked well. There was assistance for the pacers for sure and they made sure to exploit the conditions. It was a tough outing for the batters, with Farhan and Dwarshuis being the top scorers and the only ones to reach the 30s. PZ should back themselves to chase this modest total but early wickets could make things interesting
