Pakistan, April 10 -- Kusal Mendis' explosive century and a commanding bowling display propelled Peshawar Zalmi to a record 159-run victory over Karachi Kings in the 17th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 at Karachi's National Bank Stadium on Thursday.

Set to chase a daunting 247-run target, the 2020 champions could muster 87 runs before getting bowled out in 16.1 overs and thus succumbed to their first defeat in the ongoing eight-team tournament. Wicketkeeper batter Azam Khan remained the top-scorer for the Kings with a cautious 25 off 27 deliveries with the help of three fours and a six, while fellow middle-order batters Saad Baig (14) and Khushdil Shah (10) were the others to amass double figures.
