- Fakhar Zaman struck his 2nd hundred as Lahore Qalandars
- Kamran Ghulam scored 122 runs off 62 balls.
- Farooqi took three wickets for United.
At the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Thursday, Lahore Qalandars’ opening batsman Fakhar Zaman struck his second hundred as his club defeated Islamabad United by a score of 226-5 in the 26th game of the ongoing Pakistan Premier League (PSL) season 8.
Qalandars lost opener Abdullah Shafique in the first over after electing to bat first. Abdullah was captured by Fazalhaq Farooqi with a full-length delivery.
From there, and particularly in an aggressive manner, Fakhar and Kamran Ghulam carried the innings. This season, Fakhar, who is already at his best, hammered the ball all over the pitch.
Fakhar was able to earn his second hundred of the competition after receiving three lifelines—two dropped catches and a successful review. He scored 122 runs off 62 balls alongside Kamran.

Before losing to Mohammad Wasim Jr., Kamran was able to get 41 points off of 30. Fakhar, however, continued and finished the job. In addition, he and Sam Billings scored 70 runs together.
Fakhar hit eight boundaries and as many sixes in his 115 runs off 57 balls. Billings made 32 off of 22. Rashid Khan’s rapid 15 runs for Qalandars also contributed to their high total.
Farooqi took three wickets for United, while Hassan Ali and Wasim each took one.
