Big hitting from Luke Ronchi and Shoaib Malik saw Punjabi Legends chase down Pakthoons’ 129 to set up a final against Kerala Kings in the T10 League on Sunday night.

At Sharjah Stadium, Ronchi hit an unbeaten 60 off just 34 deliveries while Malik ended the game 48 not out as Legends cruised to a nine-wicket victory.

With a big target, Ronchi was in blistering form and made Mohammad Irfan pay in the third over with four fours and one six that propelled the team to 63-1.

While Umar Akmal was out for 17, Malik continued to pile the runs in his 17-ball knock which included six fours and three sixes.

Earlier, Ahmed Shehzad’s half-century and Shahid Afridi’s blistering knock saw Pakhtoons end their 10 overs with 129-4.

Shehzad hit 58 runs (six fours and four sixes) off his 29 deliveries before Afridi added to his team’s tally with a quick 41-run effort.

The former Pakistan skipper only faced 17 balls but made an impact scoring five sixes and a single four.
