Powell blasts 18-ball 30 as Zalmi clinch top two spot - chairman - 03-12-2024
KARACHI, Pakistan, (CMC) – West Indies T20 skipper Rovman Powell weighed in as Darren Sammy’s Peshawar Zalmi defended a small total to edge Kieron Pollard’s Karachi Kings by two runs in their final group game of the Pakistan Super League here Monday.
Choosing to bat first at the National Stadium, Zalmi stumbled to 147 for six off their 20 overs, the stellar Babar Azam top-scoring with 51 and Powell blasting an 18-ball 30.
In reply, Pollard scored only one as Kings came up short, after failing to get four runs from the final ball of the run chase.
New Zealand opener Tim Seifert top-scored with 41 while Irfan Khan struck an unbeaten 39 but Kings had to be content with 145 for five off their 20 overs.
With the win, Zalmi guaranteed themselves of a top two finish on 13 points, one ahead of Multan Sultans who are currently second on 12 points with one game left.
