PSL 2026: Points Table, most runs, & most wickets after Peshawar Zalmi win thriller in Karachi

by mishaalmubarak April 9, 2026

Peshawar Zalmi have finally managed to get a game in despite the schedule and weather teaming up against them, and they made sure to pack all the drama into it. Chasing 146 with a batting lineup like theirs did not seem too daunting, but Zalmi nearly made a mess of it. The game went down to the last ball, but they eventually denied Hyderabad Kingsmen their first win.

With the victory, they are back among the top four, although their Net Run Rate (NRR) is the lowest among the top five teams. They will play Karachi Kings in their next game, which is scheduled for the very next day.

None of the leading run-scorers or wicket-takers budged from their positions after the Peshawar vs Hyderabad game. The reason is fairly straightforward: Hyderabad have not performed well enough to have players near the top, while Peshawar have only played two completed matches so far.
