Kamran Akmal's incredible 77 takes Peshawar Zalmi to PSL 2018 final
LAHORE - Kamran Akmal's record-breaking 77 off 27 deliveries propelled Peshawar Zalmi into the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final as they ousted Karachi Kings by 13 runs at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday.

Zalmi set a towering 171-run target for Karachi Kings, whose bowlers crumbled under pressure as Akmal scored his half-century in just 17 balls.

The Zalmi's striker broke the record of the fastest fifty in the history of Pakistan Super League (PSL), surpassing Islamabad United's Luke Ronchi to achieve his feat.

The match started at 8:15pm. The fixture was reduced to 16 overs per side rain in Lahore.

Sammy-led Zalmi squad will face Islamabad United in Karachi on March 25.
