Peshawar Zalmi outclass Quetta Gladiators to extend unbeaten run in PSL 11 – SUCH TV
A disciplined bowling display combined with captain Babar Azam’s unbeaten half-century powered Peshawar Zalmi to a convincing eight-wicket victory over Quetta Gladiators in the 23rd Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 match at Karachi’s National Bank Stadium on Wednesday.
The victory marked Zalmi’s sixth in seven matches and fifth consecutive after their washout against three-time champions Islamabad United in Lahore.
Set to chase a modest 155-run target, the leaders comfortably knocked the winning runs for the loss of just two wickets and nine balls to spare.
The leaders got off to a flamboyant start to the pursuit as their opening pair of Mohammad Haris and Babar put together 75 runs inside nine overs until the former was dismissed by Gladiators captain Saud Shakeel.
Haris remained a notable run-getter for Zalmi in the pursuit with a brisk 35 off 28 deliveries, featuring five fours and a six.
Following his dismissal, Babar joined forces with in-form Kusal Mendis (21), and the duo ensured retaining Zalmi’s momentum by knitting a 49-run partnership for the second wicket, which culminated with the latter’s dismissal off Alzarri Joseph in the 16th over.
Meanwhile, Babar held his ground firmly and eventually steered Zalmi over the line in the penultimate over, courtesy of an unbeaten 32-run partnership for the third wicket with Aaron Hardie, who made 18 not out from 14 deliveries.
The captain top-scored for Zalmi with an unbeaten 71 off 51 deliveries, studded with 10 fours.
For Gladiators, Joseph and skipper Saud could pick up a wicket apiece.
Muqeem was named Player of the Match after taking three wickets for 25 runs in his four-over spell.
Zalmi captain Babar Azam’s decision to field first paid dividends as the previous edition’s runners-up could accumulate 154 all out in their 20 overs.
The Gladiators got off to a dismal start to their innings as their new opening pair of Ahsan Ali (four) and captain Saud Shakeel could yield only four runs as the former fell victim to Iftikhar Ahmed on the third delivery of the first over.
Shakeel then attempted to launch the Gladiators’ recovery alongside experienced Rilee Rossouw by putting together 35 runs for the second wicket until getting run out in the fifth over and walking back after scoring a 13-ball 16.
Rossouw was then involved in another crucial partnership for the Gladiators – a 29-run stand for the third wicket with Hassan Nawaz until eventually falling victim to Muqeem. He made 28 off 16 deliveries with the help of four fours.
Muqeem inflicted another setback to the Gladiators’ batting expedition in the 12th over as he got rid of Shamyl Hussain, who could score 12 off 10 deliveries.
With the scoreboard reading 86/4 in 11.4 overs, Nawaz raised a cautious 26-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Khawaja Nafay before both perished in successive overs and brought the total further down to 120/6 in 15.4 overs.
Nawaz remained the top-scorer for the Gladiators with a 35-ball 37, featuring four fours, while Nafay could muster 20 off 13 deliveries.
Later, Zalmi’s bowling attack ran through the Gladiators’ lower order and picked up the remaining four wickets for 34 runs in the remaining 26 deliveries despite Tom Curran’s valiant 15 off 10 deliveries.
Muqeem and Abdul Basit jointly led Zalmi’s bowling charge with three wickets each, but the former was more economical as he gave away just 25 runs in his four overs. Iftikhar, on the other hand, chipped in with one scalp.

Former SMU cornerback Teddy Knox faces $2.88M judgment for crash linked to Rashee Rice’s Lamborghini race
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Kansas City Chiefs star receiver Rashee Rice isn’t the only one facing discipline for a March 2024 car crash in Dallas.
Theodore “Teddy” Knox, a former SMU cornerback and teammate of Rice’s in college, was driving a Corvette while racing Rice’s Lamborghini on a Dallas highway before it caused a multi-car crash.
Knox has been hit with a $2.88 million default judgment in a lawsuit from one of those crash victims, Kathryn Kuykendall, according to ESPN.

Knox was ruled “grossly negligent” by Judge Kim Bailey Phipps, and a default judgment comes when a lawsuit has no response or a party does not appear in court. In this case, it was reportedly the latter.
“We’ve asked the court to grant the default judgment because we’re ethically required to as a matter of diligence,” Kuykendall’s attorney, Marc Lenahan, said in a statement to ESPN when the motion was filed.
“Personally, it pleases us that Teddy hasn’t made further mistakes that we’re aware of. If a team gives him a chance to prove that he’s walking the right path now, we’ll be rooting for him.”

This marks the third default judgment issued against Knox from the March 2024 crash. He was also ordered to pay $1.99 million to Irina Gromova and $1.63 million to Edvard Petrovskiy in combined damages.
Knox and Rice pleaded guilty to charges from the crash, and Knox was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years of probation. Knox was charged with causing a collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.

Rice had similar charges, receiving five-year deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of the probation. His jail time was said to be flexible, according to the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.
Rice was also required to pay the victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses, which totaled around $115,000, as part of his plea agreement.
Rice was also suspended six games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, which he served last season.
The 25-year-old receiver said in a statement issued by his attorney at the time of the league’s decision that he’s had “a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole.”

Knox was suspended by SMU, and he hasn’t been in college football ever since. He began his career at Mississippi State before transferring to SMU.

Mike Trout crushes fifth Yankee Stadium HR in four games
NEW YORK — Mike Trout‘s latest homer against the New York Yankees put him in rare company, and going deep again made history at Yankee Stadium.
Trout homered for the fifth time during a four-game series Thursday, crushing a 446-foot drive in the seventh inning for the Los Angeles Angels in an 11-4 victory.
A three-time MVP, Trout joined Jimmie Foxx (1933), Darrell Evans (1985) and George Bell (1990) as the only players with five homers in a series against the Yankees, according to MLB researcher Sarah Langs.
Trout homered twice Monday before going deep again in the following two games. In the series finale Thursday, Trout drove a 2-2 slider from reliever Angel Chivilli about halfway up the left-field bleachers to give the Angels a 7-4 lead. That shot made Trout the first player to hit five homers in a series in the Bronx.
“I heard that after the game,” Trout said. “It’s pretty surreal. All the great players that came through here, so it’s pretty cool.”
“Honestly, not surprising,” Los Angeles manager Kurt Suzuki said. “When you’re with Mike every day, there’s nothing that you believe that he can’t do.”
Trout also became the first visiting player to homer in four consecutive days at the current Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009.
Trout went 6-for-16 with five homers and nine RBIs in the series. He also has homered in his past five games at Yankee Stadium and drew an intentional walk in his next plate appearance before Jo Adell hit a grand slam.
“At this point it’s vintage Mike Trout,” Adell said. “When he’s healthy and feeling good, there’s nothing like it. It’s special. It’s one of a kind. So for all of us to experience it, it’s special.”
“He’s unbelievable,” Suzuki said. “He really is. It’s been an amazing week for him.”
Trout is hitting .246 with seven homers and 16 RBIs. He is 9-for-27 (.333) with five homers and 13 RBIs on the Angels’ road trip, which coincides with him making a mechanical tweak.
Trout’s career-high homer streak is seven games, achieved Sept. 4-12, 2022. He has homered in four straight games for the fourth time in his career.
Trout’s homer was part of a four-game series that featured four homers from Yankees’ slugger Aaron Judge. Judge homered twice Monday, again Wednesday and went deep in the first inning in the series finale.
“He’s unreal,” designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton said after the Yankees lost for the seventh time in nine games. “Cool showing from him and Judgie all series. Obviously, you don’t want that against us, but you got to acknowledge the greatness.”
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first time opposing players who owned multiple MVPs hit at least three homers in the same series.
“It was an impressive show by those two,” Suzuki said.
