Du Plessis lay on his again after the collision as Hasnain attended to him earlier than the physio got here out.
The incident occurred within the seventh over of the primary innings when Miller hit a Mohammad Nawaz supply straight down the bottom at the same time as du Plessis from long-on and Hasnain from long-off converged to avoid wasting what appeared like a sure boundary.
However neither of the 2 may cease in time and although du Plessis reached the ball earlier than Hasnain, the collision knocked the ball off his arms as he lay immobile on the bottom for a quick second.
Du Plessis took no additional half within the match at the same time as Peshawar Zalmi gained by 61 runs.
Quetta Gladiators gained the toss and opted to discipline. David Miller (73) and Kamran Akmal (59) hit half centuries as Peshawar Zalmi made 197 for five.
