Former Pakistan Head Coach and Waqar Younis has praised Salman Irshad for his "beautiful inswinging yorkers."

Islamabad United registered a comprehensive victory over Peshawar Zalmi as they set up an iconic clash between themselves and Lahore Qalandars in the Eliminator 2 of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL).

After batting first, Zalmi had managed to put 169 runs on the board. Salman Irshad, a promising talent, showed his threat as he picked up some crucial wickets and contained the run rate alongside.

Returning the figures of 3-31 from his four overs, Salman picked up the wickets of United skipper Shadab Khan, explosive opening batter Alex Hales and power-hitter Asif Ali to tilt the match in Zalmi's favor.

However, Zalmi ended up losing the battle as United won by 5 wickets with three balls to spare.

Speaking about Salman's performance, Younis took it to Twitter and said: "Purani yaadian taza kar di with those beautiful yorkers."

"Another product of Lahore Qalandars. Super spell. Good speed and accuracy," added Waqar Younis.
