PSL 2023: “My Goal Is To Take Babar Azam’s Wicket” – Zaman Khan

Young paceman Zaman Khan of Lahore Qalandars has declared his intention to dismiss Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam during their forthcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) match on Sunday.

On Sunday, February 26 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, in Match No.15 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi, the speedster is set to meet Babar.

When Babar led the Karachi Kings, who are currently led by all-rounder Imad Wasim, in the previous PSL season, Zaman Khan had the opportunity to dismiss him, but he dropped a catch instead.

“My goal is to take Babar Azam’s wicket. Unfortunately, last year I dropped the catch myself, but this time, I am hopeful that I will be able to get him out,” Zaman Khan was quoted as saying.

Zaman Khan, who received the PSL 2022 Emerging Player Award, stated that he tries to pick up a lot of knowledge from his teammates, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf, who play for the Qalandars.

“Shaheen and Haris are both international players and I get the opportunity to learn from them, “ Zaman Khan stated.

In the PSL 8 opener against Multan, Zaman bowled a fantastic final over, holding Multan to 15 runs in six deliveries while facing off against players like Khushdil Shah and seasoned West Indian hitter and T20 expert Kieron Pollard. The pacer’s valiant efforts enabled his team to defeat Multan by one run.

The right-arm pacer bowled the same over that he did in the seventh PSL against Islamabad United, the reigning champions.

Zaman Khan responded when questioned about his ability to knock the fate-deciding over: “Whenever our red-ball season ends, we practice white-ball bowling, especially in the death overs, where we learn to bowl yorkers and slower ones. This helps in the match and the skipper enjoys it and gives me confidence.”

On Sunday, February 26, at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the fourth PSL 8 match between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi will go place according to the original schedule.

The Qalandars, who are presently ranked third in the league table, have won two of the three games they have played. By winning three championships, Islamabad United will attempt to surpass Lahore Qalandars as the most successful team. Lahore Qalandars will try to make history by being the first team to win consecutive championships.
