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?

Incredible comeback from Quetta! Only 55 runs have come in the last 10.0 overs which is exactly what Quetta Gladiators needed to mitigate the early-overs onslaught.
Kuldeep Yadav, Kamran Ghulam and Jofra Archer have been excellent in containing two of the world's best batsmen with strenuous conditions going up agains them.

Code:
45.1  Ghulam to Hasan, FOUR, Who needs Bradman when weve got Shakib Al Hasan
45.2  Ghulam to Hasan, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman
45.3  Ghulam to Hasan, SIX, ???!!! Its coming towards the commentary box Im leaving!!!
45.4  Ghulam to Hasan, no run, Shakib Al Hasan missed that one by a mile
45.5  Ghulam to Hasan, FOUR, That was a bad delivery by Kamran Ghulam, deserving this punishment
45.6  Ghulam to Hasan, one run, Great cooperation between Shakib Al Hasan and Virat Kohli

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.

Code:
46.1  Yadav to Hasan, one run, Great cooperation between Shakib Al Hasan and Virat Kohli         
46.2  Yadav to Kohli, SIX, Display of Raw power and brutality by Virat Kohli

46.5  Yadav to Kohli, no run, Appeal for LBW, a bit too optimistic though

Another brilliant over for Peshawar Zalmi as Virat Kohli accumulates 18 runs off Kuldeep Yadav's last over! Virat Kohli is getting closer to yet another well-paced hundred.

Code:
47.1  Archer to Kohli, no run, A lot of movement being extracted by Archer

A sedated fifty for Shakib Al Hasan but certainly what Zalmi needed in a situation where they could've easily had a collapse triggered if he hadn't shown such restrain.

Code:
48.3  Ghulam to Kohli, one run, Great cooperation between Virat Kohli and Shakib Al Hasan     
48.4  Ghulam to Hasan, one run, That is very well run by Virat Kohli

Two very good overs with 8 and 7 runs coming off Jofra Archer and Kamran Ghulam's 48th and 49th overs - respectively. 15 off 12 is not what you'd want in the death-overs.

Code:
49.1  Archer to Hasan, wide, Thats going down the leg side, a wide no doubt

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.

QUETTA GLADIATORS NEED 338 RUNS FROM 50.0 OVERS @ 6.76 RUNS PER OVER

Once again on our batsmen to come back into the match. We did come back at the end, but the damage was done already.
 
We have got the runs on the board but seeing how the pitch played out in the league so far, I think batting 2nd is much more better. Did Kohli miss a trick batting first on this track? Everyone chipped in with the bat, but its the bowlers who need to take the team home. Once again, Amir and Rashid are key to making it happen.
