Karachi: Quetta Gladiators set 191-run target for Peshawar Zalmi in the second match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) at the National Stadium in Karachi.

Peshawar Zalmi were not able to pick up wickets during the first half of the match against Quetta Gladiators and the Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side kept punishing them.

By the end of 10 overs, the Gladiators hit 90 runs, with Ahsan Ali making 40 off 27 balls, while Will Smeed was able to add 46 runs to the scoreboard.

However, it might not have been possible had the Zalmi fielders not dropped catches and saved boundaries.

Earlier, Zalmi won the toss and elected to field first against Gladiators.

Peshawar are without skipper Wahab Riaz, Kamran Akmal, and Hazratullah Zazai who are currently in isolation after his test for COVID-19 came back positive. Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik will captain the Zalmi in today's show.

The two sides have established themselves as formidable opponents throughout PSL's history. Both teams have met 17 times and Zalmi have a small edge with nine victories against Quetta Gladiators' eight.

Four matches have been played between the two teams at the National Stadium, with each team claiming two victories.

Quetta Gladiators: Will Smeed, Ben Duckett, Shimron Hetmyer, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Iftikhar Ahmed, James Faulkner, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Hasnain, Khurram Shehzad, Sohail Tanvir, Naseem Shah

Peshawar Zalmi: Hazratullah Zazai, Imam-ul-Haq, Shoaib Malik, Haider Ali, Sherfane Rutherford, Hussain Talat, Mohammad Haris (wk), Amad Butt, Wahab Riaz, Usman Qadir, Pat Brown
