PSL 2021: Lahore Qalandars to clash against Peshawar Zalmi today

Shaheen Afridi was named the Man of the Match, with Rashid Khan's helicopter finish not enough to sway the judges.

According to ESPN Cricinfo, Khan said he felt "good".

"I got an opportunity today and just wanted to finish it for the team and have a good win. That's how we wanted to get the tournament started," he said.

"I have strong wrists in the power that I can clear the rope, but working on my balance, that was struggling in the last year and I've been making lots of improvements though I still have lots left to do. I call that shot the mini-helicopter, just try to go for it."

Khan termed his first PSL experience as "an amazing feeling".

"I think it was a good start from their bowling," said Zalmi captain Wahab Riaz. "I think the positive was the way that Shoaib and Ravi and Rutherford, especially the way the fielding fought.

"We put each and every thing into it to take the game to the last over. The message is very clear for Haider: go out, play your shots, play your game. There is no pressure if you get out or you score runs."

Qalandars had finished runners-up during the previous season while Zalmi also has a very good track record the tournament. Zalmi is the one of only two teams in the PSL that has played the play-offs in each of the five editions so far.
