After setting a massive target of 189, the Stallions' bowlers were all over the Gladiators' batsmen as they removed their top three batters inside first 10 balls of the innings. Barring skipper Bhanuka Rajapaksa (40 off 17) and wicket-keeper Azam Khan (36 off 17), none of the batsmen could play an innings of substance which is why the Gladiators fell short by 53 runs. Malik was once again the star for the Stallions, however, this time it was with the ball as he picked two crucial wickets and gave away just 13 runs in his three overs.
