Kusal-Babar Fireworks Crush Qalandars as Zalmi Stay Perfect

Peshawar Zalmi demolished Lahore Qalandars by 76 runs. They're still unbeaten in PSL 2026. Kusal Mendis cracked 74 off 48 balls, linking with Babar Azam for a 109-run partnership that decided everything. Zalmi reached 173/7. Qalandars? They crumpled to 97 chasing it.

Once that platform sat there, Zalmi's bowlers tore in. Michael Bracewell snared 3/18. Sufiyan Muqeem and Nahid Rana landed the knockout blows. Puts Zalmi top of the points table now—after that 159-run hammering of Karachi Kings earlier, where Mendis made 109 off 52.

Kusal's on a tear in Pakistan. Any whispers from his mid-season IPL exit over security? Gone.
