On Sunday, Quetta Gladiators beat Peshawar Zalmi by eight wickets in the final clinch Pakistan Super League 2019 trophy.
Fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain's 3-30 and Ahmed Shehzad's unbeaten 59 played a pivotal role in scripting the decisive victory for the Gladiators.
Quetta's bowling attack restricted Peshawar to 138-8. In response, the Gladiators chased down the target in 17.5 overs.
Albeit Shane Watson (7)'s run-out and Ahsan Ali (25)'s soft dismissal by Wahab Riaz, the chase remained a walk in the park for the Gladiators.
