Babar Azam Equals Unwanted PSL Record as Zalmi Struggle Against Gladiators
Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam made headlines for the wrong reasons during the team’s clash with Quetta Gladiators at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in PSL 10, registering another duck and joining the list of batters with the most ducks in PSL history.
🦆 Babar’s Growing Duck Tally
-
Dismissed for 0 by Mohammad Amir

Imad Wasim – 12 ducks

This marks another dip in form for the prolific right-hander, whose performances will be closely scrutinized as Zalmi aim to recover from a shaky start in the tournament.
🔥 Gladiators Dominate; Ali Hammered
Adding to Zalmi’s woes was a nightmarish bowling spell by Mohammad Ali, once the second-highest wicket-taker in PSL 9.
