PSL 2022 day 26 round-up: Lahore to play Qualifier despite Super Over defeat

Peshawar Zalmi defeated Lahore Qalandars in the one-over eliminator to register their sixth win in the seventh edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) on Monday.

Requiring 24 off the final over, Shaheen Afridi scored 23 of them to take the game to this season's first Super Over. However, Lahore batters, Fakhar Zaman and Harry Brook could only manage five runs from Wahab Riaz's brilliant over.

Chasing six from six balls, seasoned cricketer Shoaib Malik sent the first two balls of Shaheen Afridi to the boundary to seal the game.

Earlier, Peshawar Zalmi posted 158/7 thanks to Malik's 32 and Haider Ali's 25 runs. Hazratullah Zazai's 16-ball 20 was another small contribution.

Peshawar bowled cleverly to keep Lahore Qalandars batters in check and never let them get in the game until the final over, when Mohammad Umar conceded 23 to let the game slip into the Super Over.

Mohammad Hafeez (49) and Shaheen Afridi (39*) were key performers for Lahore.
