The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 witnessed a dramatic comeback after a long Covid-19 break on the 9th of June with the match between Islamabad United and the Lahore Qalandars. The game had a nail-biting finish as the Qalandars needed 16 runs to win in the final over, and they had five wickets in hand and a daunting task ahead of them. Keeping that in mind, Rashid Khan and Tim David were at the crease.
With Tim David and Rashid Khan at the crease, the chase wasn’t easy and it was the latter’s show in the end. Rashid hasn’t opened his account before the final over.
