FOUR! Richard Gleeson to Khurram Shahzad. Reverse Swing-In full toss, down leg side on the back foot glancing, well timed past fine leg for 4 runs. Peshawar Zalmi will be happy with the runs on the board. Babar Azam and Mohammad Haris got them off to a strong start and capitalised on the powerplay. As usual, Kusal Mendis played a fiery knock to boost the scoring rate. Babar Azam held firm at one end while wickets tumbled at the other. The Islamabad United bowlers never really looked confident throughout. Will the chase be an exciting one? Stay tuned.
