Title-holders Peshawar Zalmi clinched a last-ball win to beat Quetta Gladiators in the first eliminator by one run at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Tuesday. Apart from Peshwar's win, it was their bowler Umaid Asif who hogged all the limelight. The right-arm medium took two wickets in Peshawar's win. He dismissed Quetta's Rilee Rossouw for 8 runs and then removed the dangerous Mahmudullah for 19. After taking Bangladesh all-rounder Mahmudullah's wicket, Asif went on celebrate in style. He flaunted the 'Iron Man' t-shirt, which he was wearing inside his team's jersey.
