The 34-year-old hoped that Zalmi will lift the trophy for the second time and hopped that they would be having more time to celebrate the victory in Karachi.

Talking about Zalmi’s strategy for upcoming edition of the tournament, he said: “I always tell the guys, if we play the brunt of cricket that Peshawar knows how to play we are going to be unstoppable.”

“We have to control what we can in the dressing room and make sure we prepare right and we go out and execute right, he added.”

“We are not afraid of any opposition, but we respect every single team in the league. But once Peshawar stepped over the rope it is the ‘Yellow Army’ coming at you,” Sammy warned PSL opponents.
