Lahore, 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 70-run loss.

Australia all-rounder Aaron Hardie took 3-24 for Zalmi, who are through to Sunday's final.
