Peshawar Zalmi vs Hyderabad Kingsmen | Final | Urdu | Match 44 | Full Match Highlights | HBL PSL 11 | MZB1H

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.
