Quetta Gladiators extend winning streak

DUBAI: Quetta Gladiators defeated Peshawar Zalmi by three wickets in a match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) at Dubai Cricket Stadium in UAE on Sunday.

Contributions from top four batsmen Luke Wright (16), Kevin Pietersen (35), Ahmed Shehzad (16) and Sarfraz Ahmed (21) made sure that Gladiators maintained their winning streak.

Wahab Riaz and Shahid Afridi bagged two wickets each to put up some resistance but that wasn’t enough to thwart Gladiators’ chase.

Sent in to bat first by Gladiators, Darren Sammy smashed 31-ball 48 to lift Peshawar Zalmi to 135.

Apart from Sammy, no other player was able to stand before the lethal combination of spinner Muhammad Nawaz, Umar Gul and Zulfiqar Babar.
