Rovman Powell, Player of the Match- I think credit goes to our bowlers and TKC who created the platform for me to come and launch. I feel everything was in my zone and it was important for me to spend some time in the middle early on. I came here on the back of some good form but wasn't able to give my best early on. However I'm glad that I'm finding form as the tournament is progressing. The atmosphere in the dressing room is great and we're all performing our roles well.
Imad Wasim (Karachi Kings captain): I think we didn't bowl well. Rovman and Haseebullah played very well. in the last 6-7 overs, we conceded 90 odd runs. You have to bowl yorkers here. Length balls were coming onto the bat. Have to be decisive about what to bowl. It was a good day. Amir came back well. Three games left and we are up for every game. It was tough for the spinners but Shamsi, Mujeeb bowled well. I think 200 was par score, not winning score. We will just come out hard and try to execute. Play for Karachi, we are still in the tournament. You never know, someday we might finish the game which hasn't happened in the last five matches
Aamer Jamal: Tom Kohler-Cadmore batted well and took responsibility. Length was important today as it was skidding through. Even when we were losing games, the atmosphere in the dressing room was good. Daren Sammy boosts up a lot even when the performance is down. He says whatever happens on the ground, leave it on the ground itself!
Karachi Kings 173/8 in 20 overs Imad Wasim 57*(31) | Azmatullah Omarzai 3/28 Matthew Wade 53(41) | Aamer Jamal 3/43
What an emphatic win for the Peshawar Zalmi! They've clinched this one by a big margin and quiet comfortably in the end. Karachi got off to a good start early on with Wade and Rossington going hard in the powerplay. However they kept loosing wickets in the middle overs and the game slipped away from their hands once Wade was gone. Towards the end, Imad Wasim did hit a few lusty ones but it was already too late and the fate of the game had been sealed by then.
Peshawar once again started on the backfoot with the ball but they came roaring back into the game. Mujeeb was excellent in the middle overs as he choked the flow of runs and picked up a couple of wickets. Omarzai was unbelievable as he managed to pick up 3 wickets and was the pick of the bowlers for them.
Overall, this has been a wonderful win for the Peshawar Zalmi and they will be thrilled with the way in which they've come back in this game. They were behind in both the innings but held their nerves to capitalize on key moments and closed out the game. They will be moving up one place in the points table and their campaign is once again back on track.

19.5 Arshad Iqbal to Imad Wasim, back of a length delivery, Imad slaps it to the right of the fielder at long-off. Babar Azam has no chance of stopping it as the ball races to the fence!
19.4 Arshad Iqbal to Imad Wasim, slow, back of a length delivery, Imad heaves it to deep mid-wicket and gets back for the second run. This brings up Imad's second fifty of the season!
19.3 Arshad Iqbal to Imad Wasim, full-toss, Imad lofts it in front of long-off. Single not taken predictably
19.2 Arshad Iqbal to Imad Wasim, EDGED AWAY FOR A BOUNDARY! Full-toss outside-off, Imad slashes hard and gets a thick outside-edge to short third. Wahab Riaz loses sight of the ball as he misses a catching opportunity and the ball raced away to the boundary too
19.1 Arshad Iqbal to Imad Wasim, full and slow outside-off, Imad swings and edges it but the ball falls short of the keeper. However, the bowler Arshad Iqbal is excited and the umpires go upstairs. Front-foot is fine, clear edge but the ball fell on the pitch before nestling into the gloves. So, it will be NOT OUT!
