Peshawar Zalmi are 17-3 after five overs against Karachi Kings in their 2020 Pakistan Super League fixture at the Pindi Cricket Stadium on Monday.
After being sent in to bat, Zalmi lost early wickets of both their openers. Mohammad Amir had Tom Banton lbw on the very first ball of the match, and struck again two balls later to bowl out Haider Ali.
In the fourth over, Kamran Akmal was caught by Babar Azam off Aamer Yamin after contributing four runs from eight.
Kings earlier won the toss in what is the 15th match of PSL’s fifth edition and decided to field first against Zalmi.
For Kings, Aamer Yamin has come in for Umaid Asif. Zalmi have made three changes and they are being led by Wahab Riaz with Darren Sammy resting today.
Karachi Kings come into the game on the back of a confidence-boosting five-wicket victory over Islamabad United at the same venue on Sunday. They have won two out of the four matches they’ve played so far in the tournament while 2017 champions Zalmi have won two out of their five fixtures.
Zalmi’s last match against United was called off due to rain.
