Quetta Gladiators Smash Peshawar Zalmi in a PSL 10 Thriller!
Wow, what a game! Quetta Gladiators absolutely crushed Peshawar Zalmi in their PSL 2025 match, winning by a whopping 64 runs. Honestly, who saw that coming? Before this match, Quetta were looking a bit shaky, outside the top four and needing a miracle. But a miracle is exactly what they got.
Quetta's Impressive Batting Lineup
Batting first, Quetta set a seriously challenging target of 179 runs. It wasn't just one guy doing all the work either. Captain Saud Shakeel contributed a solid 32 runs, Finn Allen chipped in with 31, and Mark Chapman added a crucial 33. It was a real team effort, you know? They built a foundation that Peshawar just couldn't crack.
Peshawar's Collapse Under Pressure
And then… the Peshawar Zalmi chase. It kinda felt like watching a slow-motion trainwreck. Quetta's bowling attack was relentless. Faheem Ashraf was the real star, taking a sensational five wickets for only 33 runs! It was absolutely brutal. Peshawar just crumbled, bowled out for a measly 114 runs in just 15.2 overs. Hussain Talat's 39 runs was a lone bright spot in an otherwise disastrous innings for them.
A Major Shift in the PSL 10 Standings
This win was huge for Quetta. Suddenly, they're in a really strong position. Six points from five matches puts them level with Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings, but their better net run rate has them sitting pretty in third place! That playoff spot is looking a lot more secure now. Peshawar, on the other hand, are in a bit of a pickle with only 4 points from 6 matches and a net run rate heading south.
Zainab Abbas' Hilarious Interview Mistake
And then there was the post-match interview… which got a little bit awkward! Pakistani anchor Zainab Abbas had a bit of a hilarious blunder while interviewing Peshawar Zalmi’s Alzarri Joseph. She accidentally asked him about his strategy for dismissing his own teammate, Saim Ayub! The look on Joseph's face was priceless. The clip went viral instantly - it was the perfect lighthearted end to a tense match.
What's Next for Quetta?
Quetta are heading into the final stages of PSL 10 with a serious boost of confidence. Their next match against Multan Sultans is going to be a massive test. Every game from here on is crucial, not just for Quetta, but for several teams fighting for a playoff spot. This PSL 10 is shaping up to be a real nail-biter!
