PSL 2022

The Pakistan Super League 2022 was shaken by a slap gate scandal, when the Lahore Qalandars bowler Haris Rauf slapped his teammate Kamran Ghulam for dropping an important catch during a match against Peshawar Zalmi.

The unfortunate incident happened when Lahore’s Rauf dismissed Peshawar Zalmi’s Mohammad Haris in the second over of the innings and the Pakistan pacer hit Ghulam while celebrating the dismissal.


Earlier, in the same over, Ghulam had left the catch of Hazratullah Zazai as Rauf seemed exasperated with the fielder.

However, Ghulam could be seen smiling even after getting slapped, but Rauf’s expressions suggested otherwise. Haris invited the outrage of the fans for his behaviour.

Peshawar Zalmi won a victory over Lahore Qalanders in the first super over of this PSL on Monday. Thanks to captain Shaheen Shah Afridi blasting 23 off the last regular over, Lahore Qalandars put up 158-8 to tie Peshawar’s effort of 158-7.

Peshawar skipper Wahab Riaz gave away only five runs in a super over and veteran Shoaib Malik won the game by hitting two successive boundaries off Afridi’s first two balls.

Both teams ended the group stage with 12 points however Lahore ended up second on a superior net run-rate.

Lahore will come face to face with league leaders Multan Sultans on Wednesday for a place in the final, while Peshawar will meet Islamabad United on Thursday in an eliminator.The Multan-Lahore loser will have another chance to make it to the final when they come up against the winner of the eliminator.
