Zalmi needed a rear-guard effort from the tail for them to even get that close to Islamabad's total as their top and middle-order combusted in the face of pressure. Kamran Akmal and Andre Fletcher's promising start in chase was nipped in the bud by Samit, who picked three wickets on either side of the batting powerplay. The openers and Dwayne Smith were sent packing with only 53 runs on the board.
After Samit's exploits early on, Gohar took over to pick three wickets of his own. He dismissed Liam Dawson and Darren Sammy for 0 and 1 respectively, before trapping Mohammad Hafeez in front of the stumps for 13 - only the third batter among the top seven to make a double-digit score.
