Kamran Akmal, Imam-ul-Haq, Hasan Ali dismantle Karachi Kings
Colin Ingram was the only player to offer Peshawar Zalmi any resisting, scoring a classy half-century, but it wasn't enough

That's all we have for you. Thanks for your company. Good night.
Here's the playoffs line-up: March 13: Qualifier | Quetta vs Peshawar, March 14: Eliminator 1 | Islamabad vs Karachi, March 15: Eliminator 2: Loser Q vs Winner E1
Kamran Akmal is Man of the Match for his 86 off 48. "Getting a total this big requires partnerships. And credit to Imam as well. The team told me to play positive and we did well, Credit to bowlers as well. Defending 200 isn't easy but Hasan and Sameen did well and hopefully we can continue it. I look at the pitch, I stay positive and then I try my best for the team. Hasan with the new ball and Wahab in the middle overs are really good. Wahab was bowling so fast I had to ask him to slow it down because it kept thudding into my gloves"
"Obviously with their start, they had a massive partnership and we struggled to chase that. We were looking at 230 but our bowlers stuck in there. And then we lost too many wickets early," Colin Ingram says. "I've enjoyed the PSL. Got a great taste of it last year, gave me an idea of what I had to work on in these conditions. If we can get a good start with the bat, that'll hjelp. We haven't put the perfect game together yet. We need to win the first six over, especially against Islamabad in the first playoff. I enjoy fielding. I always used to bowl a lot but now I've transferred most of that energy into fielding .And if you're out there running around it keeps you young as well. Karachi's atmosphere is incredible, Last night in the last over, when we puled out the win, it was electric. Looking forward to getting in the pool and recharge the batteries and going full tilt at Islamabad"
Peshawar Zalmi really don't need a 200-plus total. Not with that bowling attack. Hasan Ali struck in the first over and when he came back in the death, he was reversing the white-ball (which is basically unheard of) Tymal Mills is the fastest bowler in the PSL and he also has a superb slower ball. He took out Colin Ingram, the one Karachi batsman who looked in any way dangerous, and once he fell for 71 off only 37 balls, the chase was done. Ingram was the sixth to fall with the score on 125. The 10th fell with the score on 142.
