Right. That ends the first game of the day. But do not go anywhere. The second game is coming up soon, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 10 pm local (1800 GMT).
Victorious Multan Sultans captain, MOHAMMAD RIZWAN, says that toss is not in anyone's factor, so no point thinking about how to defend if you cannot control whether you would be chasing or defending. States that every team is prepared for every occasion at this level. Believes that the pitch supported seamers and spinners equally and hence, the combination of 4 fasters and one tweaker suited them for this game, but he adds that for future, they will take a call after looking at the pitch.
RILEE ROSSOUW HAS BEEN NAMED THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH. Says that the team's gameplan was to play brave cricket and it paid off for him.
Karachi Kings skipper, Imad Wasim, puts the slow start in the Powerplay with the bat as the reason for the loss. About shuffling the batting for the next match, Wasim shunts it off, saying that there will be a team meeting but there is no harm in losing, if the manner of playing is hard. Admits that the wicket looked very impressive and given the start Multan had, he would take a score of 176 but bemoans a sluggish Powerplay with the bat.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Mohammad Rizwan would be very happy. Leave aside the collapse in the middle during the 11th over of the first innings, they had a pretty decent outing with the bat and ball. Every bowler bowled well and even though Shahnawaz Dhani went for runs, it was in the last few balls of his spell. He would have had Chadwick Walton but for Sohaib Maqsood who shelled a simple catch. The two Imrans - Khan and Tahir - were the chief destructors, with a combined spell of 8-0-55-5. Please stay tuned for the presentation...
A game which Karachi Kings might feel, was lost at the toss. They took the gamble and chose to chase but chasing is exactly not easy here, with dew absent. They struggled for a major portion of their run chase, in spite of having wickets in hand and with Babar Azam in the middle. It was actually Chadwick Walton's drop which turned the game around a little bit and there was a flurry of boundaries to follow but eventually, it was too much to do for the Kings.
Right. Just the second win for Multan Sultans and they climb up the ladder. Well, position wise, they stay where they are, in 5th, but they have 4 points while three teams above them have 6. So nothing much to choose.

Sohail Khan To Babar Azam OUT!
OUT! Chadwick Walton is run out! Multan Sultans get an important breakthrough. Short ball, outside off, Babar Azam flayed it over cover. Tha area was well covered and Imran Tahir stopped it cleanly. However, Azam wanted the second and pushed Walton into the same. The West Indian dived full length but Tahir's throw to the bowler was accurate, on the bounce, over the stumps and Sohail collected and disturbed the bails. Replays confirmed Walton was short when it was referred upstairs. End of a fighting 77-run stand.
Is that a run out? Sohail Khan is celebrating. Referred upstairs. Yup. Walton is done.

JUST IN. Babar is saved by a hair's breadth. Full, around leg stump, Azam came down the track and looked to flick but missed. Just like Rahmanullah Gurbaz earlier in the day, the ball hits his pads and rolled back but in this case, BA was alert and tried to get back in. Luckily for him, Mohammad Rizwan missed in the first attempt. Then, he had to dive and do a back flick onto the stumps. By that time, Babar was in, as the replays confirmed, when it was taken upstairs.
STUMPING APPEAL! Has Rizwan missed an opportunity? Has Babar made it back? This is referred upstairs and the bat seems to be JUST in.

STRATEGIC TIME OUT. Multan are well in control of this game. Chasing is certainly not easy at this venue and we have seen that in both games so far. With dew not present, the ball is sticking on the surface and not coming onto the bat. Karachi have Babar in the middle and Thisara Perera to follow, but with 74 needed from 5 overs, it needs a blinder from someone.

Shahnawaz Dhani To Chadwick Walton
DROPPED! The simplest of chances goes abegging. Slower ball, fuller in length, outside off, Walton looks to go big over the off side but the lack of pace induces a massive top edge. It should have been a simple catch for Sohaib Maqsood and he gets there at point but the ball goes straight into his hands and drops down. A single taken.

Tahir appeals and takes off, for a quick run, even before the umpire raises his finger and the finger does go up eventually. Zadran has a chat with Babar and they opt to take the review. Ultra Edge confirms that there is no bat. Ball Tracker shows that there are three reds. Najibullah Zadran was looking good, but he heads back now. 100 needed in 51 now!

Shahnawaz Dhani To Babar Azam
SIX! A miscue but a maximum! A short ball, around off, Babar looks to pull but he is cramped for room. He gets a top edge but it sails over deep square leg!

Imran Khan To Babar Azam
Oooh... on a length, around off, Babar Azam looks to play this to the leg side but closes the bat face a touch early. Gets a leading edge to cover.
Martin Guptill walks out at number 3, replacing Sharjeel Khan.

Imran Khan To Babar Azam OUT!
OUT! SHARJEEL KHAN IS RUN OUT! So, so unlucky. A short ball, outside off, Babar pulls it straight back. Imran looks to stop the ball but it hits his fingertips and hits the stumps behind. Now, because Azam has been pushing for quick singles, Sharjeel Khan is well out of his crease. In fact, he is miles out. Loiters back towards the dugout now.

Imran Khan To Babar Azam
Around middle, wristed through square leg for a couple. Oh wait. There is a run out appeal. This has come very late. Babar seemed well and truly home. Referred upstairs and one replay confirms the same. Seems like Rizwan wanted this to go upstairs just to get some kind of a break.

Sohail Tanvir To Babar Azam
Smiles all around. That actually looked closer than it initially seemed. A length ball, around middle, Babar looked to swing it to the leg side but missed and was hit on the pads. Tanvir appealed and even extended the same but Aleem Dar moved away. Tanvir pressed his captain for the review and Ball Tracker showed the ball to be clipping the top of the bails. No review lost.
Interesting. We have an LBW review against Babar Azam. Multan Sultans believe that they have got their man. No bat involved, what does Ball Tracker show? UMPIRE'S CALL ON HITTING THE STUMPS!
