LAHORE: Peshawar Zalmi’s skipper Wahab Riaz has become the first bowler in the history of Pakistan Super League (PSL) to reach the 100 wickets landmark.
The left-arm pacer reached the milestone after taking the wicket of Islamabad United batter Danish Aziz as Peshawar Zalmi registered a 10-run victory over Islamabad United in a crucial match at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
