The T20 excitement hit the Pakistani fans as the thrilling Pakistan Super League has come with yet another thrilling edition. As the league has already raised the curtains, the thrills are already touching the sky.

But in their inaugural clash, Peshawar Zalmi bowler Mohammad Ali etched his name into an unwanted feat. His forgettable spell registered as the second-worst bowling figures for the team.

Mohammad Ali’s Unwanted Spell

As the Pakistan Super League has returned with its 10th edition, Peshawar Zalmi faced Quetta Gladiators in their inaugural match, which turned out to be a forgettable one. While bowling first, the Zalmi bowlers struggled to dominate the opponent batters. Amidst this, Peshawar Zalmi bowler Mohammad Ali hit another rock point of his career.

While bowling in the first innings, he conceded 57 runs in 4 overs and ended up wicketless. That tough spell earned him the dubious distinction of recording the second-worst bowling figures for Peshawar Zalmi in PSL history, surpassing Amad Butt’s 0/56. Azmatullah Omarzai is leading the unwanted list with a forgettable spell of 0/62.

To make matters worse, his dismal figures also placed him as the joint 11th on the list of worst bowling spells in PSL history. Qais Ahmad is leading the list with a forgettable spell of securing 2 wickets while conceding 77 runs in just 4 overs. His forgettable spell made Zalmi’s bowling woes even deeper.

Zalmi’s Campaign Off To A Rocky Start

While facing the Quetta Gladiators in their inaugural clash, Peshawar Zalmi had a hard start to their campaign. While bowling first, the bowlers struggled to secure wickets. Ali Raza, Alzarri Joseph, and Sufiyan Muqeem secured 1 wicket each, and the opponent challenged them with a massive 216-run total.

While chasing the target, their woes deepened as their batting lineup faltered again. After Babar Azam’s dismissal on a duck, Mohammad Harris walked away scoring only 13 runs. Saim Ayub’s gritty 50 and Hussain Talat’s quick-fire 35 fell short. Quetta Gladiators sealed the deal with a thumping 80-run victory, handing Zalmi a crushing defeat.
