Peshawar one of the beautiful cities and the capital of the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Quetta is the Capital of Balochistan the southern province of Pakistan. Quetta was known as the little Paris back in the days, the word Quetta is taken from Balochi Language “Koh E Taha” which means between the Mountains. “Koh” in Balochi means “Mountains” and “Taha” means In between. If you look at Quetta geographically it is surrounded by mountains. Anyhow let’s talk about the respective teams of both the provinces Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators, who have produced some nail biting thriller matches in all the seasons of HBL PSL T20. No wonder people call it the “El-Clasico” of the PSL matches whenever they play against each other.   “ El-Clasico is the name given in football to any match between fierce rivals Real Madrid and FC Barcelona”.

Cricket, the gentleman’s game, has been a batsman's game from ages, the rules mostly favors the batsman as compare to the bowlers.

"The smile which made him the darling of the crowd" As a young charming Pathan, he began his career in the most entertaining fashion by hitting a 37 ball 100, picked as a genuine spinner in the team later became a nightmare for the bowlers caused by his fearless hitting. The clean striker of the ball frequently cleared the fence with ease, such was his power. The formula of “Ya mai out, Ya pir ball out” didn’t helped his cause all the time but on his day mostly the ball was out of the park, and whenever he was out the crowd left the ground on almost every occasion, but the love from the crowd never lessened, such was his fan base. He made things happen, played Tests like ODIs, ODIs like T20s and T20s like EA Sports cricket game. He almost destroyed every record when he was on his peak, his batting style made the bowler to bowl bad deliveries to him. His Heartless hitting always forced the opposition captains to change the field from ball one after his arrival at
