Half-centuries from Kieron Pollard and Umar Amin took Peshawar Zalmi home in a comfortable 172 run-chase during the Thursday’s fixture of Pakistan Super League (PSL) at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The required rate was mounting, the pressure was on, and it could all have been very different for Sultans. But as it turned out, Pollard went on to slam four more sixes on his way to a fifty, Amin raising a fifty of his own, and the pair settling the matter with an unbroken 91-run stand.
Pollard was declared the Player of the Match for his innings.
Shahid Afridi, Muhammad Ilyas and Muhammad Irfan took one wicket each in the match. Imamul Haq and Fletcher provided a strong start to Zalmi after opener Kamran Akmal’s departure on a duck.
