Karachi Kings suffered their sixth consecutive loss in Pakistan Super League (PSL) 7 as Peshawar Zalmi successfully defended their total. As a result, Peshawar are now level on points with Quetta Gladiators but are still at the fifth spot due to their inferior net run rate. Karachi, on the other hand, are on the brink of elimination and sit at the bottom of the table.
Peshawar started their innings in fine fashion as debutant Mohammad Haris set the tone in the powerplay. Haris and Hazratullah Zazai put up a brilliant opening stand before Shoaib Malik and Ben Cutting scored quickfire runs at the back end of the innings to take their total to 193/6.
Karachi got off to yet another slow start and lost Sharjeel Khan cheaply. They were unable to increase the scoring rate throughout their innings and could only manage 138/6 runs in their 20 overs. Peshawar won the match by 55 runs.
