United vs Zalmi Live: Babar Azam, Mohammad Haris & Kusal Mendis Lead Zalmi Charge in PSL 11 2026

The United vs Zalmi live contest began with explosive intent as Mohammad Haris and Babar Azam dismantled Islamabad United’s bowling during the powerplay. Haris played a blistering knock of 35 off 16 balls, striking 5 fours and 2 sixes before being dismissed by Shadab Khan, giving United their first breakthrough at 72.

Babar Azam has once again shown his class, remaining unbeaten on 38 off 23 balls with 6 boundaries and a six. His composed yet effective innings has ensured Zalmi maintains momentum after the early breakthrough.

Kusal Mendis has added quick support, staying not out on 7 off just 3 deliveries, including a boundary, keeping the run rate above 11.

With key players like Aaron Hardie, Michael Bracewell, and Iftikhar Ahmed still to come, Zalmi’s batting depth looks threatening as they aim for a big total in this IU vs PZ clash of PSL 11 2026.

On the bowling side, Islamabad United struggled to contain runs early. Richard Gleeson conceded 22 runs in his 2 overs, while Imad Wasim and Salman Mirza also went above 11 runs per over. Captain Shadab Khan provided the only breakthrough, finishing with 1 wicket for 12 runs in his first over.

Overall, Peshawar Zalmi have clearly dominated the early phase of the United vs Zalmi live encounter, putting Islamabad United under pressure as the innings progresses.
