Islamabad United defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 29 runs on Monday, despite Aamer Jamal's rapid half-century. Islamabad scored 196-4, owing primarily to captain Shadab Khan's 80 off 51 balls.

Jamal showed his power but failed -

In the power play, brothers Naseem Shah (1-26) and Hunain Shah (2-25) ripped through Peshawar's top order, reducing the score to 18-5. Jamal made the comeback, smashing 87 off 49 balls to lead them to 152-6 in the 18th over before being clean bowled by leg-spinner Shadab, who finished with 3-41.

Islamabad moved up to third place in the six-team table, with a higher net run rate than Peshawar.

Peshawar's chase was in trouble from the start when the skipper Babar Azam got run out for no reason on the first ball. Babar was unable to save him from Alex Hales' direct throw at the non-striker's end.

Further, Saim Ayub was caught in the slips, and Imad Wasim dismissed Mohammad Haris with a well-judged, catch at short fine leg for 3-3. Hunain's double-wicket maiden made Peshawar's collapse.

Jamal counterattacked in the middle overs, doing a partnership for 107 runs with Paul Walter, who added 33. Jamal hit 6 sixes and 8 fours before misreading Shadab's googly in the same over. At last, Islamabad won by 29 runs.
