T20 Leagues are once again back to life within the subcontinent, as PSL has resumed. The Pakistan Super League was postponed amidst the rise in COVID-19 cases. It has resumed in the UAE. The second leg's first match was played on June 9 between Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United in Abu Dhabi. 

The Islamabad outfit suffered a shaky start to their batting innings. However, a crucial knock by all-rounder Faheem Ashraf sailed United to 143, at the loss of 9 wickets. 

In reply, Islamabad players hoped for a couple of early wickets to change the match in their favor. And who else but Ashraf delivered. The experienced Fakhar Zaman was left in awe as Ashraf knocked his stumps with a seam-up full-length delivery. Fakhar looked decisive at the start of the innings, as he smacked two boundaries but soon went on to play a series of dots, managing to score only nine runs while facing 15 balls.

Under the pressure of facing dot balls, Zaman succumbed while trying to dispose of the ball to the ropes. He completely misjudged the length, and the ball hit the off stump.

The bowler celebrated as if he probably did not expect a wicket on such a ball. He looked surprised while he celebrated clapping, appreciating himself. 


Lahore Qalandars won despite Faheem Ashraf's all-round show

United thought they had got the much-needed breakthrough, but that wasn't the case. The Qalandars kept on cruising to safety from one end.


The twitter admin did praise Faheem Ashraf for the wicket that he deserved. He also did not miss out on trolling Fakhar Zaman. Faheem Ashraf did manage to display his all-around heroics, but all went in vain as a late cameo by the superstar Rashid Khan of 15 runs off just five balls somehow sealed the match for the opposition.
