Roy received a lot of praise for his incredible bat skills during the most successful run-chase in PSL history. Jason Roy’s century is greatest individual PSL total with 20 boundaries and five maximums. The previous record was 127, which Colin Ingram achieved in 2019.
The Zalmi, captained by Babar Azam, got off to a hot start thanks to Roy and opening partner Martin Guptill as they prepared to chase a massive total of 241 runs. Wahab Riaz caught Guptill and bowled him.
But Roy and Will Smeed just needed 55 balls to get 109 points. Smeed provided solid assistance with 22-ball 26. While working well with Roy, Mohammad Hafeez also contributed 93 runs off 39 balls. The experienced Pakistani batsman scored six boundaries and two maximums while remaining unbeaten for 41.
For Zalmi, only Wahab and Mujeeb Ur Rehman were able to grab a wicket apiece.

Babar had earlier used his bat to answer his detractors, earning his first PSL century with a strike rate of 171.66.
In the 25th game of the current PSL 8, Babar and Saim Ayub teamed up for a spectacular beginning as Zalmi managed to defeat the Gladiators by a score of 240-2. The two hitters’ combination of 162 runs off 81 balls was the second-highest in the history of the competition.
Saim kept up his excellent form and hit 74 off only 34 balls, which included all of his incredible strokes. The left-handed hitter dazzled the audience by hitting five maximums and six boundaries.

In the fourteenth over, Dwaine Pretorius caught the young gun with a slower delivery. Babar persisted nevertheless, scoring his first PSL century. The captain received a lot of flak for his strike rate in the previous game. He did, however, demonstrate his ability to score a century once more, and that too with a higher scoring rate.
