KAR vs PES Live Updates: Peshawar Zalmi innings summary

Peshawar Zalmi posted 147/8 in a stuttering innings that never quite found momentum. While skipper Babar Azam showed signs of regaining touch with a steady 46 off 42 balls, he fell short of delivering the commanding knock his side desperately needed.

The top order struggled early, with Saim Ayub and Kohler-Cadmore failing to fire. Mohammad Haris played a handy cameo with 28 off 21, injecting brief momentum during the middle overs. However, regular wickets kept Multan in control, with Khushdil Shah and Abbas Afridi dismantling the middle order with disciplined spells.

The death overs offered some late resistance courtesy of Alzarri Joseph, whose brisk 24* off 13 balls, including a six and a boundary, pushed Zalmi closer to a fighting total. But with little support from the tail and no meaningful partnerships, Peshawar's total appeared underwhelming. They'll rely on their bowlers to make a match of it on a track that's offers assistance.
