In a stunning display, Peshawar Zalmi set a new record in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) by scoring 246 runs and defeating Karachi Kings by 159 runs. The highlight of the match was a remarkable partnership of 191 runs between Babar Azam (87 not out off 51 balls) and Kusal Mendis, who scored his maiden PSL century with 109 runs off 52 balls. This partnership began after Zalmi lost their first wicket for just one run. Abdul Samad contributed significantly with a quick 40 not out from 12 balls, hitting four sixes. On the other hand, Karachi Kings, led by Australian David Warner, struggled throughout the innings, being bowled out for a mere 87 runs in 16.1 overs. Warner, returning to captain the side after a recent drink driving charge, was dismissed for a first-ball duck, and the Kings' performance marked the largest defeat in PSL history in terms of runs.
