Babar gave it his all in the most recent game against the Quetta Gladiators, but even his heroic 68 was not enough to give Peshawar Zalmi the win. But he and Saim Ayub's partnership at the top of the order laid a strong basis for the team's chase, scoring 90 runs between them. Over the years, Babar's reliability and ability to lead the innings have been crucial to Zalmi's success.
However, under the leadership of Jason Roy and Saud Shakeel, the Quetta Gladiators amassed a formidable total of 206-5, mainly because of their explosive opening partnership of 157 runs. The tone for the Gladiators' innings was established by Shakeel's cool-headed innings of 74 and Roy's reckless 75 runs. Even though they lost wickets in the latter stages, Sherfane Rutherford, Rilee Rossouw, and other players helped them reach a difficult score.
