How Statz Rating works:
- Each player receives a contextual match impact score based on their all-round contribution — batting, bowling, and situational factors.
- Ratings are scaled against the season benchmark so they are directly comparable across fixtures and to the season leaderboard.
- A typical top performer scores around 100. Exceptional performances can exceed 100.
Lahore Qalandars vs Peshawar Zalmi – PSL 2026 Match Report | Statz
Lahore Qalandars beat Peshawar Zalmi by 6 wickets (with 3 balls remaining) in the 38th match of 44 in the Pakistan Super League 2026 Regular Season at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Lahore won the toss and elected to bowl, then chased down 200 with an over to spare to move to 10 points – closing the gap on the top four ahead of the business end of the tournament. For Peshawar, still comfortably top of the table on 17 points, their first defeat in five matches is a minor blip, but the official MoM and Statz MVP diverging sharply tells a bigger story about where the real match impact was.
First Innings – Peshawar Zalmi bat: 199/4 (20 overs)
Peshawar were 16/1 early when James Vince was cleaned up for 10 off 7 in over 2.1. Kusal Mendis was caught for 7 at 36/2 in over 4.3, leaving Babar Azam to rebuild. Babar was composed through the middle overs, pushing to 59 off 45 with 5 fours and a six, before Shaheen Afridi cleaned him up at 130/3 in over 15.1. At that point Peshawar needed their big hitters to finish the job.
Michael Bracewell was in a different gear entirely. He blazed 83 off 45 – 8 fours, 6 sixes, strike rate 184 – and tore into the Lahore bowling. His partnership with Iftikhar Ahmed (27 off 14, SR 193) pushed Peshawar to 194/4 before Bracewell was clean bowled by Haris Rauf in over 19.4 with just 2 balls remaining. Iftikhar and Abdul Samad finished unbeaten. Shaheen led the Lahore attack with 2/36 from 4 overs; Haris Rauf took 2/46 from his 4, expensive but effective at death.
Second Innings – Lahore Qalandars chase: 200/4 (19.3 overs)
Lahore were 21/1 after Mohammad Naeem was caught for 10 in over 2.6. Abdullah Shafique came in and immediately hit the accelerator – 25 off 11 at 227 SR – before being caught at 65/2 in over 6.2. Charith Asalanka steadied with a measured 33 off 26, falling at 118/3 in over 12.4.
That left Lahore needing 82 off 45 balls with Sikandar Raza and Fakhar Zaman in the middle. Raza launched 29 off 11 – 3 sixes, strike rate 264 – before a hit wicket ended his fun at 160/5 in over 15.5. Daniel Sams then blazed an unbeaten 35 off 15 at 233 SR to put the result beyond doubt. Fakhar Zaman was the anchor throughout – 58 not out off 47, steering the chase calmly from start to finish. Iftikhar Ahmed took 1/33 from 4 overs for Peshawar; Khurram Shahzad 1/22 from 3 but expensive with wides.
Statz MVP – Michael Bracewell (110.67/100)
Michael Bracewell is the Statz MVP with a rating of 110.67/100 – the standout performer by Statz calculations, which assess impact based on match context. His 83 off 45 was the innings that built Peshawar’s total and nearly defended it. The official Man of the Match went to Fakhar Zaman – Statz disagrees. Fakhar’s 58 not out sealed the win but Bracewell’s match-shaping innings in a losing side gets the nod from the algorithm. Two valid perspectives on where the value sat.
Top 5 Statz Ratings
- Michael Bracewell (PZ) – 83 off 45, 8×4 6×6, SR 184. MI Rating 110.67/100. Dream11: 179 pts. The match-defining innings.
- Fakhar Zaman (LQ) – 58* off 47. Cool-headed anchor who saw the chase home. Dream11: 98 pts.
- Iftikhar Ahmed (PZ) – 27 off 14 with bat, 1/33 from 4 overs. Genuine all-round contribution on both sides of the ball. Dream11: 94 pts.
- Daniel Sams (LQ) – 35* off 15 (SR 233) to finish the chase. Dream11: 75 pts.
- Sikandar Raza (LQ) – 29 off 11 at SR 264, key middle-overs blast that broke the back of the target. Dream11: 69 pts.
Turning Point
Bracewell bowled by Haris Rauf at 194/4, over 19.4. With 2 balls left and Bracewell in full flow, Peshawar were on course for 205+. His dismissal left them scrambling to 199. That 6-run deficit – combined with Lahore’s lower-order firepower from Sams and Raza – ultimately proved the margin. If Bracewell bats those 2 balls, this is a different result.
Match Context
PSL 2026 Regular Season, 38th match of 44. Peshawar Zalmi remain top despite the loss – 17 points from 10 matches (W8 L1 NR1), NRR +2.324. Their play-off spot is not in doubt. Lahore Qalandars move to 4th, 10 points from 10 (W5 L5), NRR -0.482. With four matches remaining they are in the fight but NRR is a real concern should the top-four race get tight.
