First Innings: Qalandars Collapse Amid Sikandar Raza’s Lone Stand

Put into bat, Lahore Qalandars never got going. The top order faltered quickly with only Fakhar Zaman (10) and Asif Ali (4) offering minimal resistance. Abdullah Shafique was dismissed for a duck, and the middle order crumbled under pressure.

Sikandar Raza was the only shining light for the Qalandars. His composed 52 off 37 balls featured some fine strokeplay — 5 fours and 3 sixes — and momentarily steadied the ship. But his efforts were not complemented by other batters, as wickets kept tumbling.

Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi smashed 16 off 10, but it was a brief cameo. The tail failed to wag, and the innings ended at 129 in 19.2 overs.

Second Innings: Zalmi’s Calm Chase Powered by Babar and Talat

Despite losing opener Saim Ayub early for just 2, Zalmi never looked in trouble. Babar Azam played a textbook T20 anchor role, crafting a well-paced 56* off 42 balls, with elegant boundaries and effortless timing.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore was dismissed for a duck, and Mohammad Haris chipped in with a quick 20 off 16 balls before falling to Shaheen Shah Afridi. But it was Hussain Talat who joined forces with his captain to build a match-winning stand.

Talat’s 51* off 37 balls included 5 boundaries and a six — an innings marked by confidence and maturity under pressure. Together, the pair added 93 runs for the fourth wicket and sealed the chase with more than 3 overs to spare.
