Peshawar Zalmi cruise to a 44-run win, and it never looked like Karachi Kings were in the hunt in this chase. Imam ul Haq's fifty, Liam Dawson's 43, and Darren Sammy's 10-ball 24 powered Zalmi's innings, and Karachi Kings couldn't find similar oomph in their own effort. Liam Livingstone was out to the very first ball of their chase - the first of a whopping four golden ducks in the innings - and Hasan Ali was particularly clinical in finishing off the innings to end with 4 for 15.

Bilal: "8 ducks in a match. Dinner is served, at the expense of KK" -- and on that note, goodnight!

Hasan Ali to Yamin, OUT

brilliant catch in the outfield! Yamin falls for a golden duck. He looked to chip his first ball, which was full and aimed at the pads, over square leg, but Dawson ran in from that position and timed his dive just right to catch the ball inches from the turf
