Earlier, a fiery 70 by Anton Devcich lifted Lahore to 172-4. Had it not been for Kamran’s numbing assault, Devcich could have possibly emerged the match-winner for Lahore with his 42-ball knock, which included two fours and seven sixes. While admittedly a chancy effort, Devcich struck some mighty blows when he wasn’t using the pace to deflect the ball to the shorter boundary on the leg-side. After Devcich departed in the 15th over, Sohail Akhtar, who smashed an unbeaten 30 off 16 balls, and Gulraiz Sadaf (26 not out off 21 balls) helped Lahore sustain the momentum, as they amassed 52 runs in the last five overs. All that would ultimately prove futile. Hasan Ali took 2 wickets for 24, while Wahab Riaz and Sameen Gul took one each.
Brief scores: Peshawar Zalmi 176 for 3 (Kamran Akmal 107 not out) beat Lahore Qalandars 172
for 4 (Anton Devcich 70, Sohail Akhtar 30 not out) by seven wickets.
