KARACHI: Wahab Riaz made an impressive comeback after the last match’s performance and led Peshawar Zalmi to restrict Islamabad United to 118-10 in 10th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 6.
While bowling first after winning the toss, Zalmi’s bowlers took charge from the front and took first wickets for just two runs. Wahab removed Paul Stirling off just the fourth ball to put the opponents under pressure.
Alex Hales took the responsibility quite well but wickets tumbling at the other end was a deep concern for him. The right-handed batsman smashed 41 runs off 27 balls with the help of five boundaries and a six.
Hussain Talat resisted a bit but couldn’t continue for long as he managed to score just 22 runs with the help of just two boundaries. Asif Ali made 19 runs.
Wahab, who suffered criticism in the last match after conceding over 50 runs in his four overs, bagged four wickets and conceded just 17 runs in his four overs. Saqib Mahmood took three wickets while Mujeeb-ur-Rehman and Umaid Asif shared a wicket apiece.
