This happened in the 20th over of the Qalandars' innings, bowled by Peshawar Zalmi's Salman Irshad. The Zalmi pacer pitched the second ball right in Rashid Khan's slot outside off. The Afghan shuffled a bit inside the crease and picked the ball to perfection. Khan executed a helicopter shot and the ball went sailing over deep square leg for six runs.

Rashid Khan smacked 22 runs off 8 balls with a strike rate of 275 with the bat, and with the ball, he picked up an important wicket as well. Rashid dismissed experienced Peshawar batter, Shoaib Malik, for an individual score of 7 in 9 balls.
While talking about the match, Lahore Qalandars posted 199/4 in 20 overs, courtesy of Shafique' 41, Fakhar Zaman's 66 and quick innings from Hafeez (37* off 19 balls ) and Rashid Khan (22* off 8 balls). In reply, Peshawar opener and returning player Kamran Akmal smacked 41 off 24 balls while #4 Haider Ali scored 49 off 34 balls before he was unluckily run out. None of the other Peshawar batters could face Lahore bowlers and in the end fell short by 29 runs, finishing the innings at 170/9 in 20 overs.
