In an exciting Pakistan Super League (PSL) cricket match, opening batters Jason Roy and Saud Shakeel displayed impressive teamwork with a massive 157-run partnership, leading the reshuffled Quetta Gladiators to a triumphant 16-run victory over Peshawar Zalmi.
Last year’s PSL runners-up, Multan Sultans, began their campaign with a decisive 55-run win against Karachi Kings, a team known for its robust all-rounders.

At the same time, Shakeel, who had waited 33 games for his first PSL opportunity, contributed 74 runs off 47 deliveries. Together, they propelled Quetta to an impressive 206-5.
Peshawar’s Babar Azam (68) and Saim Ayub (42) started strong with a quick 90-run partnership in just 51 balls. However, Quetta’s bowler Mohammad Amir (1-29) showcased his skills up front, taking the crucial wicket of Rovman Powell in the final over. Despite a brief comeback by Peshawar in the final overs, with Salman Irshad (3-38) claiming key wickets, Quetta ultimately emerged victorious.
This season, Quetta Gladiators made significant changes, including appointing South African Rilee Rossouw as their new captain, relieving long-time skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed after four consecutive seasons of failing to qualify for the playoffs. Australian duo Shane Watson and Shaun Tait joined Multan Sultans as head coach and bowling coach, respectively, for the 2022 Pakistan Super League (PSL) season.
