Gladiators’ brilliant reply
Quetta Gladiators took out Peshawar Zalmi in the chase with shocking batting. Led by Jason Roe, they were on fire. Roy played one of the best innings of his career as he kept all the bowlers he faced ineffective. On the other hand, the Gladiators lost the wickets of Martin Guptill, who scored 21 runs off 8 balls, and Will Smead, who scored 26 runs off 22 balls, but that did not affect the rhythm of Raw. He reached his century in just 44 balls.
Fireworks even after the century
Even after scoring a century, Jason Roy continued to fire and took the Gladiators to the brink of a historic victory. Mohammad Hafeez, who came in to bat at number four, also shone, and they reached victory with 10 balls to spare. Jason Roy remained unbeaten on 145 off just 63 balls. 20 boundaries and 5 sixes came from his bat. Roy himself scored the team’s winning runs with a six. Hahees was at the other end of the crease with a 18-ball 41 for victory.
