Shoaib Malik loses his bat, gets caught and bowled in a hilarious way in PSL 2023 match between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi
In the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 match held on March 1 at the Pindi Club Ground in Rawalpindi, Karachi Kings took on Peshawar Zalmi. The match was an entertaining one with some great performances from both sides.
Peshawar Zalmi won the toss and elected to bat first, and they put up a mammoth total of 197 runs on the scoreboard. Karachi Kings’ chase of the target didn’t start well, and they were in deep trouble when Shoaib Malik came in to bat. However, Malik’s dismissal on the third delivery he faced added to their woes.
During the eleventh over bowled by Aamer Jamal, Malik attempted a pull shot against the attempted bouncer but ended up losing his bat as it launched into the air. It was a hilarious moment as Malik’s bat ended up landing just to the left of Peshawar Zalmi’s keeper Haseebullah Khan, who took the bat and returned it to Malik with a smile. In the meantime, Jamal took a simple catch to dismiss Malik, who walked back to the pavilion.
