Peshawar Zalmi's all-rounder Saim Ayub has made history in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) after bowling Islamabad United's Alex Hales on the first ball of the 20th game of season nine.
The 22-year-old opened the bowling for Zalmi and rattled the stumps of the Englishman with a peach of the delivery.
Ayub is the first player in the tournament's history to be dismissed on the first ball as well as taking a wicket on the first ball of the match.
It must be noted that United is batting first after being asked to do so by Zalmi's captain Babar Azam.
At this point, United are 105/3 in 12 overs with captain Shadab Khan at the crease
