Needing five off the last two deliveries, South African Wiese carried Lahore to 5-189 and a five-wicket triumph at Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday. The win lifted Lahore to third in the table with eight points from eight games.

Lahore lost their first three games in the tournament but have made a strong comeback with victories over defending champions Quetta Gladiators, Karachi Kings and 2017 champions Peshawar.

They still have two league games in hand - against Karachi on Thursday and the last match against Multan Sultans - and have a chance to make a maiden appearance in the PSL playoffs after finishing last in the previous four editions.

Peshawar, who earlier made 7-187 are still second with nine points, two points behind Multan.

Fakhar Zaman (63) and Australian Chris Lynn (59) both scored their first half centuries of this season's PSL and took their team to a commanding 1-146 in the 16th over before Brathwaite (3-28) snared three quick wickets and brought Peshawar back into the game.

Brathwaite ended the 96-run second-wicket stand when Yasir Shah took a smart diving catch while running from long-on and Fakhar gave a tame catch to Yasir in the next over of captain Wahab Riaz.

Brathwaite then removed Mohammad Hafeez (4) and Australian dangerman Ben Dunk (7) in the 18th over before Wiese secured the game in the last over.

Earlier, Pakistan Under-19 youngster Haider Ali (69) and the experienced Shoaib Malik (62) propelled Peshawar with gritty half centuries after Lahore won the toss and elected to field.

Englishman Tom Banton's woeful run with the bat continued as he was out for zero in Shaheen Afridi's first over.

Left-arm spinner Samit Patel (2-37) then dismissed Kamran Akmal (12) and Liam Livingstone (4) as Peshawar limped to 28-3 within the first four overs.

But Haider and Malik shared a resolute 116-run fourth-wicket stand off 72 balls to give Peshawar a decent total before Wiese dashed their hopes with a big hit off Brathwaite in the last over.
