In a nail-biting PSL 2024 Qualifier clash between Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi, seasoned English pacer Chris Jordan displayed his mastery with the ball. His lethal yorker sent a shiver down the spine of star batsman Babar Azam, completely dismantling his wickets and earning praise for his exceptional death bowling skills.
In the crucial 14th over, Jordan’s breakthrough halted Zalmi’s momentum just as they were building a significant partnership. Despite early setbacks, Peshawar Zalmi stabilized, with Babar Azam and Tom Kohler-Cadmore forming a promising alliance. Azam displayed elegance with impressive strokes, while Kohler-Cadmore gradually found his rhythm, contributing delightful shots.
However, the tide turned when Multan Sultans’ captain, Mohammad Rizwan, made a decisive call, bringing Jordan back into the attack. This tactical move proved to be a game-changer. Jordan’s precision yorker was simply unplayable for Babar Azam, who had no answer and completely missed the ball. The impact resulted in his stumps being shattered, leaving Zalmi in a precarious position.
Babar’s dismissal was a significant setback for Peshawar Zalmi, as they were heavily reliant on his experience to build a big score. With their star batsman gone, Rovman Powell joined Kohler-Cadmore at the crease. Zalmi now faced a challenging situation, finding themselves at a precarious 108 for four after just 15 overs.
