Pakistan Super League Live Updates: Peshawar Zalmi Chase begins with fireworks and a fall!

OUT! Peshawar Zalmi got off to a fiery yet jittery start in their 145-run chase against Islamabad United, losing Mitchell Owen in the opening over despite collecting 12 runs. Kyle Mayers struck early, removing Owen for 6 after he had launched a massive six first ball. Trying to turn a short-of-length delivery to the leg side, Owen only managed a leading edge that lobbed straight to Dwarshuis at silly mid-off. Babar Azam responded with a classy straight drive for four, and along with Saim Ayub, ended the first over at 12/1. The required rate remains a manageable 6.94, but early wickets could tilt the pressure United's way.

Islamabad vs Peshawar Live, PSL 2025 Match 22: Islambad innings summary

Islamabad United posted 143/9 in their 20 overs, largely thanks to Ben Dwarshuis' explosive unbeaten 33 off 17 balls. His late surge included three fours and two sixes, rescuing a side that crumbled after a strong start.

Openers Sahibzada Farhan (36) and Kyle Mayers (18) added 57 without loss in eight overs, but a middle-order collapse triggered by Ahmed Daniyal and Mohammad Ali saw them slip to 91/6. Ali's double-strike in the 14th over-removing Munro and Masood-was pivotal.

Dwarshuis launched a counterattack, smashing a six over long-on and capitalizing on lapses in the field. Despite Imad Wasim's run-out in the 18th over and the dismissal of Naseem Shah in the final over, Dwarshuis ensured a competitive finish. Peshawar Zalmi now need 144 to win, but Islamabad's bowlers have a score they can defend with discipline and early breakthroughs.

THREE MORE WICKETS! Peshawar Zalmi are in full control after a double-wicket over from Mohammad Ali, who removed Colin Munro and Saad Masood in the 14th. Munro edged behind trying to force a backfoot drive and walked off reluctantly after the review upheld the decision.

Then, Saim Ayub stunned IU with a ripper to dismiss Salman Agha, deceiving him with a carrom ball that feathered to the keeper. Amid the chaos, captain Shadab Khan walked in and immediately counter-punched, striking back-to-back boundaries off Ayub with a stylish sweep and a glorious inside-out drive over extra cover.
