The tournament has always given the cricket-loving public in Pakistan something to look forward to.
In the match between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi, the battle to watch out for was between Babar Azam and Haris Rauf. Rauf ended up dismissing Babar and a huge celebration followed. Rauf had dismissed Babar for 50 off 41 with four fours and two sixes. He dismissed the Pakistan skipper in the 16th over and then looked up to the heavens to thank god for being able to get Babar’s wicket.

Rauf, in interaction with Azam, had earlier claimed that he wanted to get Virat Kohli and Babar’s wicket and in the match, the same had come true. “Jo marzi ho jaaye, par wicket leni hai. Ek Kohli bacha hoya hai, tussi bache huye ho. Williamson slip toh do vaari bach gaya si. Par yeh 3-4 player mere hain (No matter what happens, I just need to take your wicket. Just Kohli and you are left. Williamson was saved in slips twice. These are 3-4 players whom I want to get out),”
In the match, Zalmi in the first innings, where helped by contributions from Salim Ayub, who made 68 off 36 balls, with eight fours and three sixes.
