An undefeated half-century from Fakhar Zaman powered Lahore Qalandars as they got the better of Peshawar Zalmi’s 200-run target to reinforce their bid for the Playoffs in Pakistan Super League 2026. Hyderabad Kingsmen, the only other team jostling to claim the final spot, need to beat Rawalpindiz by either 85 runs or chase a target in around 10 overs in their final league game to whoosh past Lahore Qalandars’ superior Net Run Rate.
Lahore Qalandars not only strengthened their case for a Playoffs berth but also knocked the Karachi Kings out in the process. Captain David Warner’s unbeaten 89 led the way for Karachi Kings’ nine-wicket win over Quetta Gladiators in their final round-robin fixture at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday, April 25.
Brief Scores: Peshawar Zalmi 199/4 in 20 overs (Michael Bracewell 83, Babar Azam 59; Shaheen Afridi 2-36) lost to Lahore Qalandars 200/4 in 19.3 overs (Fakhar Zaman 58*, Daniel Sams 35*; Khurram Shahzad 1-22) by six wickets
