And that is it from us tonight. It was a brilliant day for Zalmi, but don't forget to join us for the double-header Sunday tomorrow, when Zalmi meet Multan Sultans and Islamabad United play Lahore Qalandars. Until then, stay safe and take care, as on behalf of Karthik and Ranjith, this is Himanshu signing off. Good night.

Faisal: "I still feel that kamran akmal been wasted in last 5 years bcz he got so much to offer as a T20 batsman"

Time now for the presentations.

Wahab Riaz, the winning captain: "The way boys started wasn't good, but the experience came in from Kamran Akmal, and hats-off to Miller. Irfan is showing the attitude, and he's a great guy. We are looking at the playoffs by taking it one-by-one."

David Miller is the Player of the Match for his 73 off just 46 balls: "It was an enjoyable innings, but started a bit rusty. The team needed us to build a partnership at that stage [10 for 2]. I knew I was two balls away from getting to a run-a-ball. I gave myself enough time there. And we wanted to get through the powerplay with little damage."

And in another update from the PSL, Hasan Ali is set to miss the remainder of PSL 2021.

Faisal: "After watching kamran Kamal innings.what about him in pakistan batting line up for upcoming T20 WC?" --- That looks like a far-fetched dream at the moment.

The Gladiators can get to at most eight points now, with a highly improbable chance of making the playoffs.

Muhammad jalal: "It's all over.. you even can't imagine the downfall of such a promising team...Better luck next time."

Faran: "5 ducks sums up Quetta innings."

11.58pm And in the end, a comfortable win for the Zalmi. A 61-run margin can prove to be a pretty handy one in the latter stages if the net run rate comes into the equation. Miller, Akmal and Powell were aggressive with the bat, and Irfan was impressive with the ball. The Zalmi bowlers kept hurting the Gladiators despite a 62-run opening stand, and needless to say, du Plessis' absence also made a difference.

Imran will finish off the formalities
