Nawaz, Watson help Gladiators thrash Qalandars
PHOTO COURTESY: PSL
After being put into bat first, Qalandars were off to an astonishing start as they reached to 60 for the loss of one wicket inside first five overs.
Three talking points from PSL3's Multan-Peshawar opener
However, another monumental collapse saw Brendon McCullum’s men lost five wickets for just 29 runs, from which they could not recover and managed to score just 119 for the loss of nine wickets in their allotted 20 overs.
McCullum finished the innings with the top score of 30 off 18 with the help of three fours and two sixes.
For Gladiators, Nawaz was the show stopper as he claimed the most economical figures in the PSL history and finished with figures of two for four in his four overs.

Chasing 120 was never going to be a tough task for a strong looking Gladiators batting lineup, and so it proved to be as they got over the line in 14th over.
Watson was the star of the show, as he finished with 66 off just 42 balls with the help of five fours and five sixes.
For his outstanding bowling performance, Nawaz was awarded man of the match.
And that's it. Gladiators secured an impressive win. Hope you enjoyed our live coverage. Till tomorrow, its goodbye from all of us.
