ISLAMABAD: Spurred on by a stellar half-century by skipper Babar Azam, Peshawar Zalmi beat Lahore Qalandars by seven wickets to register their second victory of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) X edition in Lahore on Thursday.  Zalmi were set a modest total of 130 runs after Azam’s side bowled out the Qalandars for a modest 129 runs in 19.2 overs. Alzarri Joseph was the pick of the Zalmi bowlers with 3/15 figures while Luke Wood and Hussain Talat returned figures of 2/25 and 2/18, respectively. The “Yellow Storm” ran into difficult earlier on during their chase, losing opener Saim Ayub for just 2 runs while star batter Tom Kohler-Cadmore fell for a duck. Azam kept his cool, scoring 56 runs from 42 balls and building partnerships with Mohammad Haris (20 off 16) and Hussain Talat (51 off 37) to see his team to the end. “Not an ideal start for our home leg,” the Qalandars wrote on social media platform X. “Overwhelmed with the support of our home crowd, we will come back stronger!“

Rishabh Pant is having a season to forget at Indian Premier League 2025. The southpaw, who is the costliest player in the tournament's history, has failed to perform with the bat. In November last year, Pant was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a record sum of Rs 27 crore. However, he has failed to live up to the expectations, facing a huge dip in his batting form. The wicketkeeper-batter has scored only 106 runs across 8 innings at an average of 13.25 this season. If this was not enough for criticism, Pant's demotion during LSG's IPL 2025 match vs Delhi Capitals on Tuesday increased the trouble for him.

The unrelenting Josh Hazlewood fashioned Royal Challengers Bengaluru's first win at home this IPL season with an extraordinary penultimate over as his team prevailed over Rajasthan Royals by 11 runs in a see-saw affair in Bengaluru on Thursday. The defeat meant RR are out of the reckoning for a place in play-offs berth in the ongoing edition of the league. They have lost seven matches out of nine. Coming on to bowl with RR needing 18 off 12 deliveries, Hazlewood (4/33) picked up two wickets in as many balls while giving away just one run, as the visitors were stopped at 194 for nine in a chase of 206 at a packed Chinnaswamy Stadium.

The Yashavi Jaiswal vs Josh Hazlewood contest in the IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals in Bengaluru on Thursday was an intriguing one.

On one of the deliveries was a short ball that completely stunned Jaiswal. But Jaiswal made a brilliant comeback to hit three straight boundaries.
