The Kingsmen, batting first, were bundled out for a modest 145 in 18.2 overs, failing to capitalize on their starts. However, their bowlers made the chase a nightmare for Zalmi. The match boiled down to a high-stakes final over, with Zalmi requiring 8 runs from the last 3 deliveries.

Cooler heads prevailed as Iftikhar Ahmed and Aamir Jamal navigated the immense pressure. A boundary in the penultimate moments swung the momentum, allowing Zalmi to cross the finish line with just balls to spare. This win keeps Zalmi firmly in the hunt for a playoff spot, while the Kingsmen will rue their inability to finish their innings strongly.

With the Karachi leg of the tournament in full swing, Multan Sultans remain at the top of the table, but tonight’s result proves that in PSL 2026, no target is too small and no game is over until the final ball is bowled.
