An overthrow allows Sharjeel Khan to steal a run and reach his 50 in only 34 deliveries. Peshawar Zalmi needed a strong start and they've got that from their openers.
Apart from one very specific instance - Peshawar Zalmi's openers have had some trouble in finding their footing but they've managed to deliver when it matters the most.

Code:
11.5  Ghulam to S Khan, legbye, Left alone by Sharjeel Khan

That brings up the 100 for Peshawar Zalmi and the 100 between these two. Sharjeel Khan and Fakhar Zaman have provided Zalmi with the foundation for a massive score.
It will take some doing from Quetta Gladiators' bowlers to restrict Peshawar Zalmi on anything below 300 after this start and on this pitch, with the firepower Zalmi has left.

      Fifty for Fakhar Zaman

And that misfield will allow Fakhar Zaman to bring up his fifty with a quick single! Quetta desperately needs a breakthrough because this is looking real bleak for them.

Sharjeel Khan definitely looks in the mood to go berserk and go after Quetta Gladiators' bowlers to increase Peshawar Zalmi's run-rate ever since achieving his hundred.
A gorgeous lofted cover-drive for four has brought up Peshawar Zalmi's 200 and they've not even completed 30.0 overs of their innings. How much further can they go?

15 runs off the over! Exactly what Peshawar Zalmi needed. With just four overs left in the innings, they are going to want to eye as big of a total as they can possibly get.
Shakib Al Hasan and Virat Kohli are more than capable of getting those runs, and they have the firepower to come after them and achieve the same should wickets fall.

Peshawar Zalmi will be disappointed finishing with just 337 after the start they got from their openers - but credit to Quetta Gladiators' bowlers for containing Peshawar.
Kamran Ghulam, Kuldeep Yadav and Jofra Archer bowled spectacularly to bring Peshawar Zalmi's scoring rate down when two of the world's best were at the crease.

Virat Kohli played yet another anchoring knock for Peshawar Zalmi's innings in the middle - only missing his hundred by only 6 runs as Peshawar Zalmi ran out of deliveries.
A flurry right at the end of the innings pushed Peshawar Zalmi past the 300-run mark and gave them a total of 337 to defend on the flattest pitch there is in the country.

Apart from the middle-overs - Quetta Gladiators' bowlers weren't all that effective as is shown by the figures of their leading bowlers - Shaheen Afridi and Jofra Archer.
Mohammad Nawaz was easily the pick of the bowlers with 2 massive wickets to his name at an economy of only 4.20 on a pitch that had next to nothing for bowlers.

50 runs is all that stands between Quetta Gladiators and a berth in the final, but they are 7 down and have their tail-enders completely exposed to Peshawar Zalmi.
The equation for Quetta Gladiators to get is 50 runs from 60 deliveries with Mohammad Nawaz being the only decent batsman left. It is plausible but also highly unlikely.

Quetta Gladiators edge past Peshawar Zalmi in the first playoff after a valiant fightback from their tailenders to secure the win by the barest of margins - just 1 wicket.
Imam-Ul-Haq, Usman Salahuddin and Rassie van der Dussen played splendid knocks that ultimately became the backbone of Quetta Gladiators' successful run chase.

Mohammad Amir was once again fantastic with the ball - picking-up 3 scalps in crucial situations whilst being the most economical to sway the game in Zalmi's favour.
He was supported well by his team - especially Rashid Khan who picked-up 2 wickets and Khalid Usman who broke Imam-Ul-Haq and Usman Salahuddin's partnership.

However, it was Mohammad Nawaz and the valiancy shown by Quetta Gladiators' tailenders that ultimately won Quetta Gladiators the game after all the ups and downs.
A couple of dropped catches in the end overs definitely helped Quetta Gladiators' chances - but it was Mohammad Nawaz's heroics in particular that stood out the most.

@AsadRM :) :) :)

It was always given that the wicket would have become easier to bat on as the match progresses. Aamir gave us the perfect start. And it's commendable how close were we able to bring the game. Wondering if going with five bowlers would have made the job done for us (or not).

Two nail bitters for us in a row now. God forbid we have a second chance.

For endings, saved myself a 100k but at what cost!
