Peshawar Zalmi didn't have the services of Alzarri Joseph and lacked discipline with the ball, leaking a bit too many runs which cost them towards the end. David Warner and James Vince were on a roll and did the bulk of the damage. The middle-order didn't let the foundation go to waste as Khushdil Shah and Mohammad Nabi scored briskly and helped post a formidable total. The response from Peshawar Zalmi with the bat was decent; Saim Ayub raced to 47 and Babar Azam scored fluently for his 94 but more was required from the middle-order and they ended up playing catch-up as the asking rate kept shooting up. Hope you enjoyed the high-scoring affair. See you tomorrow for the double-header. It's goodbye and goodnight for now

Babar Azam, Peshawar Zalmi Captain: Think we leaked extra runs. They scored more than par. When we won't execute plans and bowl according to field then these things will happen. There is always room for improvement. Think Warner and Vince formed a great partnership but we have to learn from our mistakes quickly. We didn't have as many partnerships as they did. Bowlers have skills but they couldn't execute it well enough. No-balls and catch drops at end can be costly. We had the belief to chase the total but we needed partnerships. We were ahead at the end of 10th over but then they came back well and we were playing catch up towards the end. We have back to back matches, need to remember the positives and try our best tomorrow.

Karachi Kings and Islamabad United have qualified. Peshawar Zalmi aren't out of the competition just yet--they need to beat Lahore Qalandars to make it to the playoffs.

Hamza: "The game always looked like slipping away, but gutted Babar missed out on a shackles-breaking, drought-breaking, well deserved century."

Ghaffar: "Last 2 overs 52 runs cost PZ game but well fought, Congrats KK and IU for play offs "
