RAWALPINDI, March 5: Peshawar Zalmi set a target of 171 runs in 15 overs for Questa Gladiators in the 18th match of the fifth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Earlier, Quetta Gladiators won the toss and elected to field. The start of the match was delayed due to a wet outfield.
The big news before the start of play was that Daren Sammy officially stepped down as Peshawar Zalmi captain to take on a role as player-coach. Sammy was left out of the XI for the second match in a row, with Wahab Riaz formally taking over as captain following his stand-in role in Zalmi s loss to Karachi Kings when it was communicated that Sammy was being rested. Zalmi made two changes to their lineup. Imam-ul-Haq comes in at the top of the order in place of Tom Banton while Liam Dawson replaces Carlos Brathwaite for an extra spin option. -A gencies
