The United vs Zalmi live contest has been controlled by Peshawar Zalmi’s top order, led by Babar Azam and Kusal Mendis. After an explosive start, Zalmi maintained momentum with a solid partnership following the early wicket.

Earlier, Mohammad Haris provided a fiery foundation, scoring 35 off 16 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes before falling to Shadab Khan at 72. His aggressive intent set the tone during the powerplay, where Zalmi raced to 68 without loss.

Babar Azam anchored the innings brilliantly, remaining unbeaten on 66 off 44 balls, including 7 fours and 2 sixes. He reached his half-century in 38 balls and has paced the innings perfectly, balancing aggression with control.

At the other end, Kusal Mendis has played a crucial supporting role, scoring an unbeaten 31 off 19 deliveries, striking 3 fours and a six. The duo’s partnership has kept the run rate above 10, taking Zalmi past the 100-run mark in just 11 overs.

Islamabad United’s bowlers have struggled to break the rhythm. Shadab Khan remains the only wicket-taker, conceding 22 runs in his 2.1 overs. Imad Wasim bowled a relatively economical spell of 38 runs in 4 overs, while Richard Gleeson, Salman Mirza, Faheem Ashraf, and Chris Green all went at around 10 runs per over.

With power hitters like Aaron Hardie, Michael Bracewell, and Iftikhar Ahmed still to come, Zalmi are firmly on track for a massive total in this high-scoring IU vs PZ clash of PSL 11 2026, keeping fans hooked to the United vs Zalmi live score.
