India Today
Lahore Qalandars pacer Haris Rauf slapped his teammate Kamran Ghulam during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 match against Peshawar Zalmi.
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 was rocked by the slap gate scandal on Monday when the Lahore Qalandars pacer Haris Rauf slapped his teammate Kamran Ghulam for dropping a catch during an important match against Peshawar Zalmi.
The incident took place when Lahore’s Rauf dismissed Peshawar Zalmi’s Mohammad Haris in the second over of the innings and the Pakistan pacer hit Ghulam while celebrating the wicket. Earlier, in the same over, Ghulam had spilled the catch of Hazratullah Zazai as Rauf looked frustrated with the fielder.

However, Ghulam could be seen putting on a brave face and smiling even after getting hit, but Rauf’s expressions did not look friendly. Haris invited the wrath of the fans for his outrageous behaviour.
Peshawar Zalmi beat Lahore Qalanders in the first super over of this Pakistan Super League on Monday. Thanks to captain Shaheen Shah Afridi blasting 23 off the last regular over, Lahore Qalandars finished at 158-8 to tie Peshawar’s effort of 158-7.
Peshawar captain Wahab Riaz conceded only five runs in a tidy super over and veteran Shoaib Malik won the game by smashing two successive boundaries off Afridi’s first two balls. Both teams finished the group stage with 12 points but Lahore ended up second on a superior net run-rate than Peshawar.
Lahore will take on league leaders Multan Sultans on Wednesday for a place in the final, while Peshawar will meet Islamabad United on Thursday in an eliminator. The Multan-Lahore loser will have another chance to make Sunday’s final when it faces the winner of the eliminator on Friday.
