London [UK], April 29: Babar Azam continued his fine form to steer Peshawar Zalmi into the final of the Pakistan Super League.
The former Pakistan skipper scored 103 off 59 balls - his second of this year's competition - as Zalmi overpowered in-form Islamabad United in the Qualifier.
Babar brought his century up with a six, straight down the ground off ex-England seamer Richard Gleeson, as Zalmi piled up 221-7 - United skipper Shadab Khan taking 3-42.
United started well and raced to 58-0 inside five overs and reached 98-2 in the 11th over but once their top order well, they struggled to keep pace and fell to a xx-run loss.
Australia all-rounder Aaron Hardie took 3-24 for Zalmi, who are through to Sunday's final. United have a second chance of progress when they face the winners of the Eliminator between Multan Sultans and Hyderabad Kingsmen on Friday.
