And that's that! @PeshawarZalmi will be chasing 149, after Jason Roy scored almost half of @TeamQuetta's runs in a fine innings. Will this total be enough, or does the pitch hold secrets? Who do you think will win? @TeamQuetta 148/6 (20)#QGvIU #HBLPSLV

Strategic Time Out.
I'd suggest a strategy of getting some batsmen out and stopping the ball from reaching the boundary would be a good option for Zalmi.
