Welcome back for the chase. Peshawar players are in a conflab at this moment. The openers trudge into the centre. Asghar will open the attack.
When Afridi went for a duck, the Zalmis were struggling at 59/5, but then Darren Sammy took over, belting a 31-ball 48. He was well supported by Shahid Yousuf, together, the duo added 57 runs for the sixth wicket. Quetta have chased well so far, can they make it a hat-trick of successful chases and retain their top spot in the table? Join us in a while...
