The atmosphere turned electric when Peshawar Zalmi openers, Saim Ayub and former Pakistan captain Babar Azam, walked out to start the chase. Quetta pacer Mohammad Amir wasted no time making an impact. It took him just four deliveries to rattle Babar. Poll How do you feel about Amir's celebration after dismissing Babar? Neutral It was over the top It was justified Amir began with a sharp bouncer that struck Babar's helmet, prompting an immediate concussion test. Babar resumed his innings, cautiously playing a dot ball before taking a single off Amir. However, Amir returned for his second over with a clear plan — and executed it perfectly. He unleashed a vicious inswinger that crashed into Babar's front pad. The umpire wasted no time raising his finger. Babar reviewed the decision, but the call stood, and he walked off visibly disappointed. Sachin Tendulkar at 52: Power, Pride, and a Nation's Pulse Amir's celebration was emphatic. He charged toward the Gladiators' dugout, where legendary mentor Viv Richards was seated. Amir gestured animatedly towards Richards, but the West Indies great responded with a signal to stay composed. Amir finished with impressive figures of 1/18.
