Quetta Gladiators made a strong start to their Pakistan Super League campaign, beating Peshawar Zalmi by 80 runs.
Openers Saud Shakeel and Finn Allen scored half-centuries to help the Gladiators reach 216-3 from their 20 overs, before they bowled their opponents out for 136 in the 16th over, with spinner Abrar Ahmed taking 4-42.
Having been put into bat, New Zealander Allen got his side off to flying start, striking 53 from 25 with five fours and four sixes before he was caught by Mitchell Owen off Sufiyan Muqeem.
That left Gladiators 88-1 at the end of the seventh over, and captain Shakeel took over scoring 59 from 42.
He was finally caught by Babar Azam off Ali Raza's 16th over, while Hasan Nawaz (41 from 32) followed him to the dug-out four balls later, but Rilee Rossouw (21 from 10) and Kusal Mendis finished the innings strongly with an unbeaten 58-run partnership.
In the reply, Babar was caught by Rossouw for a duck in Mohammad Amir's first over, and Peshawar were 30-3 when Mohammad Haris and Tom Kohler-Cadmore fell to Abrar with three balls of each other.
Opened Saim Ayub added 63 with Hussain Talat (35 from 19), but the rebuild was stalled when Talat and Max Bryant were dismissed from consecutive Usman Tariq deliveries.
Ayub reached his 50 from 37 deliveries, but was caught and bowled by Kyle Jamieson from the following ball, and matters got worse for Peshawar as Kyle Joseph was immediately run out.
Gladiators followed-up by taking wickets from consecutive balls for the third over in a row, as Abrar trapped Muqeem in front then bowled Mohammad Ali for the fifth duck of the innings, three of them golden.
Owen blasted 31 from 13 in a doomed effort, but finally edged behind off Amir to end the match with 29 balls to spare.
