Report
In an electrifying encounter at the National Stadium Karachi, Peshawar Zalmi triumphed over Karachi Kings by a staggering 159 runs in the PSL 2026 season. After winning the toss, Karachi Kings opted to bowl first, a decision that backfired spectacularly as Peshawar Zalmi amassed an imposing total, highlighted by a brilliant century from Kusal Mendis, who scored 109 runs off just 62 balls.
The Karachi Kings struggled to contain the Zalmi batsmen, with Nahid Rana leading the bowling attack brilliantly, taking 3 wickets for just 7 runs. The Kings' batting lineup faltered under pressure, unable to chase down the target set by Zalmi, ultimately falling well short in a match that showcased the dominance of the Peshawar side. This victory solidifies Peshawar Zalmi's position in the tournament as they continue their quest for the PSL title.
