In reply, Gladiators were on course for an easy win, but cluster of wickets in the middle left the team with 25 to get in the final over.
All-rounder Anwar Ali smashed three maximums to leave the team with three to get off the final ball.
On to the last delivery of the match, Anwar was dropped at the mid on boundary by Umaid Asif as he attempted to win the match for his team with a six, and then his non-strike partner Mir Hamza was run out in an attempt to complete the second run, which gave Zalmi a one-run victory on the night.
So that's it everyone. What a game. We will join you tomorrow again for the second eliminator. Till then, its goodbye from Azeem Siddiqui.
