LAHORE: It was Peshawar Zalmi’s leg-spinner Arif Yaqoob’s day on Friday, as he claimed three wickets on his PSL debut at a crucial stage which helped his franchise beat Multan Sultans by five runs in a nail-biter of the HBL PSL 9 on Friday night.

He said that he bowled on the right area which helped. “I had been given confidence by everyone and I tried to bowl on the right area and thanks God it paid dividends,” Arif told the post-match news conference. “We kept it simple. We did not play bad cricket in our previous two games as well. Yes, a few mistakes were made there and today we played a bit good cricket and won,” said Arif when asked had they come with any special plan for this game.
