SIX! Mir Hamza to Abdul Samad. Full toss, outside off stump deep in crease Slog, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. That brings us to the end of a commanding first innings, with Peshawar Zalmi piling on a massive total, powered by a brilliant century from Kusal Mendis and excellent support from Babar Azam. The pair put together a dominant 191-run partnership, taking complete control and putting their side firmly in the driver's seat. Karachi Kings did strike early, but they couldn't build on that breakthrough. The bowlers lost their grip in the middle overs, leaking runs consistently and allowing Zalmi to capitalise fully. Now, the big question is, do Karachi Kings have the firepower and composure to chase down this daunting target? Stay tuned for what promises to be a gripping run chase!
