Shaheen Shah Afridi's first half century and four wickets were in vain as his defending champions Lahore Qalandars lost to 35-run Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League on Tuesday.


Peshawar Zalmi moved closer to the playoffs after a 35-run win over Lahore Qalandars during the 23rd match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Tuesday (today).

Peshawar's win eliminated former champions Karachi Kings from the playoffs. Karachi meets Lahore in their last league game on Sunday.

Chasing a target of 208 runs, Lahore were all out for 172 in 19.4 overs.

Peshawar posted 207 thanks to the half-centuries of opening players Saim Ayub (68) and captain Babar Azam (50) and despite the last eight wickets falling for 39 runs.

Afridi picked up three wickets in his final over to finish 4-31.

Left-handed Ayub, who opened for the first time this season, showed plenty of aggression against the Lahore bowling attack consisting of Haris Rauf, Afridi and Rashid Khan. Ayub looted eight fours and three sixes in his 36-ball knock.

Ayub and Babar scored 107 points together. Ayub fell behind in the 11th over and Babar in the 16th over when Peshawar collapsed with three balls remaining.

During the run chase, Lahore's opener Shawaiz Irfan was cleaned up for a duck by Arshad Iqbal in the first over.
Meanwhile, Fakhar Zaman missed a pull shot and handed his first wicket to Wahab Riaz after scoring run-a-ball 11. At the next ball, Sam Billings was grabbed by experienced Riaz for a golden duck.

Azmatullah Omarzai also got involved in the lawsuit after sacking the in-form Abdullah Shafique. The right-hander hit seven runs in 12 balls.

Lahore was reduced to 24-4 on batting power play. By this point, however, Shaheen Afridi and Hussain Talat were partnering 114 runs in 65 balls to give their side an outside chance while chasing the daunting goal.

Shaheen Afridi returned to the Pavilion after scoring his first fifty. He added 52 runs in 36 balls with the help of three fours and five sixes.

Afridi and Talat dominated Afghan duo Mujeeb Ur Rahman (0-44) and Azmatullah Omarzai (2-40) but with Afridi eliminated, Lahore lost their last five wickets for 10 runs.
