Peshawar vs Hyderabad | Full Match Highlights | English | Final | Match 44 | HBL PSL 11 | MZB1K
The drought is over! Peshawar Zalmi are HBL PSL 11 champions, clinching their first title since 2017 and ending a run of three final heartbreaks with a hard-fought 5-wicket victory over the gallant Hyderabad Kingsmen. For Babar Azam, it’s a moment of personal redemption—his first PSL trophy as captain.
Chasing a modest 130, the final erupted into chaos on the very first ball of the innings. Mohammad Ali produced a thunderbolt that shattered Babar Azam's stumps, sending shockwaves through the stadium. When he removed Mohammad Haris in the same over, Hyderabad dared to dream. At 7 for 2, the Kingsmen were breathing fire. But Aaron Hardie had other plans. The Australian all-rounder launched a blistering counter-attack, smashing an unbeaten 56 off 39 deliveries with nine boundaries. He found a calm ally in Abdul Samad, whose explosive 48 off 34 turned the tide. Together, their match-defining stand absorbed the pressure and guided Zalmi home with 28 balls to spare.
Earlier, it was Hardie again who starred with the ball, returning incredible figures of 4 for 27 to skittle the Kingsmen for 129 inside 18 overs. Saim Ayub fought a lone battle with a gritty 54 off 50, but the rest of the Hyderabad batting crumbled under the relentless Zalmi attack. Nahid Rana was equally devastating with 2 for 22. Relive the first-ball drama, Hardie's all-round heroics, the championship-winning moment, and the scenes of celebration right here.

03:34lovely shot from lover shane support for them as well hydra bag kingsman
03:39and he's played that little scoop nicely right off the blade and he's picked up six runs that's a beauty
03:46he loves playing that shot as lover shane that's terrific what a start of the over
03:52edge
03:56hardy's picked him up that's a big blow for hydra bag
04:00in the power play
04:03just nips away from labashane a touch i reckon he's trying to get it quite fine anyhow
04:09and aaron hardy raises the left arm in triumph
04:13and he's got a weakness first over it's cracked that away for four that's right out
04:19of the middle of that black with great power as well
04:25oh just inside that and just flips that away in the leg side he's picked up six runs
04:30easy like that
04:32saima you but he almost gets behind the stumps here
04:37back across way outside off stomach he only had one direction that that ball was going
04:42and that was out of the park over fine leg
04:46a slower one but drill through the covers just waited for it that is a perfectly played
04:53that's not a bad delivery he likes that what about the umpire what does he think
04:58mckeeam is shouting about four or five times umpires unmoved
05:11and it's been reviewed by the batsman yeah and play it through from there please
05:18yeah bats making contact with the pad
05:23there's no bat involved
05:29pitching in line impact in line and wickets hitting asa you can still the original decision
05:36of out you're on screen signal now well the delayed decision from us on risa was actually
05:42very very good as it turned out thought about a lot stuck that finger up that is a massive wicket
05:48he can be devastating we all know that but he's now gone for just eight runs 71 for three
05:57and pick that one that was the longer coming in
05:59oh that might be our two i think that's our direct head dive back into the crease
06:07nice and slow please
06:11yeah you can freeze it there i made my decision for the big screen
06:19here he's out
06:23no room for error once you're playing against peshava zalmi
06:29on top of their game
06:31another one bites dust it's ipan khan now that he goes for one 72 for four
06:36hydrana again at the body cries of catch that and another one goes another one down very very first delivery
06:47run has picked him up they are in trouble now hydra man they are losing wickets all over the show
06:53here it's the names of head around kingsman torturing comes and goes glenn maxwell
07:02and he goes without scoring dubulation for peshava zalmi they are ecstatic and why not
07:11they have the opposition on the mat 72 for five
07:19oh that's nicely bowled heart of the body
07:22oh that's a direct hit as well grace will it was screaming in how close is this one
07:31nice and slow nice and slow frame by frame
07:36yep short of their ground i've made motion to the big screen tracks across the pitch here watch
07:42him go now does the head turn is he looking at where pereira is i don't think so but here
07:48he's i
07:49don't know he slows down but he's just trying to get out of the way i think can we just
07:52go back and
07:53watch that in real time rather than slow motion thank you
08:09yeah i'm satisfied there's no switching forward no precedent yeah satisfied but
08:17in the history that the batsman can save himself like this
08:23that is out
08:27an entire streak
08:30other about kingsman 73 for six
08:36swept away on the next side and that's gone for four pretty smartly as well
08:40a little bit of relief with the boundary eight done 77 for six catching pereira just short
08:48in the air long on no it's gone all the way that's a terrific hit
08:55it was rushed on to the bat and right there probably thought this is going to go straight
09:02to long on and it's got enough power to go all the way
09:08how do you navigate next ten well hassan khan has the dip comes down the track tries to lift it
09:16down
09:16to third and guess what the showers on me don't drop a catch
09:23but i'll tell you what he has taken a brilliant catch it's gone very very high you can see him
09:30there other
09:31field of two converging on it the call was his diving away to his right never took his eyes off
09:37it right in the middle of those hands and aaron hardy gets another important breakthrough the zami
09:45alarm fire
09:48and hassan khan goes for 12 it's 90 for seven eight on the conditions
09:54and played how it is good for you a hand to that from if the car the field was very
10:01straight
10:01but he palms it into and over the fence was firmly struck this started to fade back towards if the
10:10car
10:11bit off i don't think he gave himself much a chance of getting there and when he did it surprised
10:15him
10:15parried it over the fence for six brace well can't believe it's the first error really
10:24he's been born nahid ryaner picks up another

10:40maxwell first ball now picks up the eight kingsman wicket in another 5.3 overs left big
10:48shot coming that is a very very good hit team that confidence return to simon you such a shame as

11:51yeah there's a gap between bats and ball go to ball tracking really please
11:58pitching outside leg just outside staying on strike
12:04advancing a little bit and giving himself a little bit of room must try and come back for the second
12:12oh this throw been over the stumps might have been some problems
12:18oh that's nicely bowled
12:20little hall crowd oh that's been clubbed
12:24it's gone pretty high not that far should be taken and has comfortably taken
12:31hidey's got himself another wicked he's done a really good job tonight if to cause the man that
12:35took that catch camp underneath that for a while
12:38or let any opportunity go time you the slower delivery that's why he couldn't hit it in the middle
12:46of the bag he kept underneath that very confident
12:52with the car hardy gets another wicket and the showers only who played so beautifully throughout the
12:59tournament uh doing it against simon you with 54 50 123 tonight
13:08oh he's gone past him this time it's out of the middle of the bat has gone for
13:13perhaps four
13:16and there's another one he's got himself four up goes that finger so that's it
13:23he's not sending that upstairs so they are walking away they're all out hard to make
13:28for the king's run for one two nine what a performance uh by a hardy four for 27 in his

14:17look
14:17dominic cork will show up malik after the break can they take some early wickets here
14:24just to give the zaumi a bit of a scare here we go
14:33oh that's a great shot down the ground first ball on the up what a start
14:42and that's clipped off the pads that'll be at least two more
14:51it's gone up in the air this is possibly the breakthrough they need is it taken yes it is
14:58it's gone up manis lava shine will not drop that and they get their early wicket here we go
15:03and they make things happen mohammed harris hasn't been able to get out there and break the back of
15:08the run chase in the first three or four overs but he's going to be breaking that back when he
15:13gets
15:13inside because he's just stuck it straight up the chimney manis eyes locked in pouches it comfortably
15:23mohammed ali celebrates that's exactly what they needed harris goes it's six for one
15:33on edge here we go
15:37flashes on the right one against the outside edge he's on his way oh he has done he has done
15:46mohammed ali took the slip out because the first ball few balls had not swung at all and
15:51then wouldn't you know it that one starts wide and just swings just swings a tiny bit
15:56baba doesn't get his foot anywhere near it has a bit of a swat nicks it and my goodness me
16:02it's
16:02seven for two and this game is on babadazam stadium quiet goes first ball for a duck it's seven for
16:09two
16:09back if java short ball or the soul mindless
16:27can we go back one friend please
16:32go forward
16:35can we zoom in please
16:39oh can we have a look at the other side
16:43okay go back one frame and then forward one frame when the lights come on
16:49there is a little bit of bat over the line there i've made my decision for the big screen
16:56the empire took all the time in the world made sure if there was any doubt yeah unbelievable
17:04let's click the white and that's going to be a boundary
17:10that is a lovely shot from aaron hardy it's got to be said wasn't a great delivery though
17:16leg stump half volley
17:20short delivery that is a gorgeous shot from aaron hardy he's up for the occasion
17:30pulled away by mendes he looks hurt but
17:36oh that's not a great delivery either that's down the leg side and got exactly what it deserves
17:45oh nearly chops it on but he gets it past the keeper
17:52little bit of outswing and that's out
17:55here is the nice shot just his second delivery and he gets a huge wicket
18:02he's on his way and for once the sal mendes wasn't able to control that stroke he was feeling
18:09very uneasy with his speed movement i might have been spotted by her man that's why i pitched the
18:16ball up and he gained danger man removed goes for nine 33 for three can he swing one back in
18:25i think he tried and it's been met with a straight back that's gone racing past the bowler and mid
18:33-on
18:37way too high do not bother
18:46from zalmi dominic i think it's about just doing the basics well here not worry about the heroics
18:53of the drama
18:55edge and gone it's another one for hyderabad kingsman it's king size performance so far
19:03water comeback this has been with the ball you bowled out for 129 and now you have four wickets
19:10in the power play akif with his first good catch by usman khan with the gloves
19:19and all of a sudden now i believe that this team can bowl the zelmi out
19:25brace all gone for four the zelmi they're in trouble 40 for four to someone who's pretty tall
19:32and gets it through the offside beautifully played he waited on that one and just swung his back through
19:39the line heatherabad kingsman here we go again and that's missing the stumps probably
19:45close but not close enough doesn't get a knot from the umpire
19:52and a lovely gorgeous cover drive what great batting this is from hardy
20:00with and gone again 50 comes up for peshava zelmi hardy is absolutely on song
20:09full shot that's gone all the way for a flat six what a response
20:14brilliant batting from summer and it's about 57 meters so it's not really a big shot from where
20:19he's standing just got to get underneath you doesn't he even if he gets a top edge on that
20:25it's going to go out of the park it's a good shot
20:33short catching opportunity just over runs slow and that is the second six of this innings
20:41bought from someone he would think that is not completely out of the middle but
20:47he muscles that and such a player if he gets
20:54that he has become easy and that was a friendly delivery from the left armor arkith javed
21:01into his third over but nothing has happened for him
21:05he has flighted the ball he has started the ball in
21:10without any without any without any luck once again dragging it way too short
21:17saima you with the ball
21:20quicker darted in that is straight off the bat and once again finds the fence
21:28pumped pumped down and glenn maxwell has done well
21:34chance of you to become property that is a good hit and it disappears
21:43six to md over it's one or two for four
