182/7 (20.0/20)
140 (19.3/20)
Multan Sultans beat Peshawar Zalmi by 42 runs
That's a wrap to this one-sided game. Multan Sultans will be in action again on Friday as they will lock horns with Lahore Qalandars. The action will begin at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT) but you can join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!
Mohammad Rizwan, the winning captain of Multan Sultans, starts by crediting all the players and the management. Tells that they did drop catches but they were motivated and backed each other. Shares that the pitch played better in the first six overs and they were aiming for 200 but then the conditions changed and they felt that 180 would be a good total. Praises Khushdil Shah for his performance and feels that he has the ability to become a good all-rounder. Wants his team to improve in the field and is looking forward to giving opportunities for those players on the bench.
Wahab Riaz, the captain of Peshawar Zalmi, starts by admitting that they have to do a lot better in the Powerplay - both with the bat and ball. Adds that they are still trying to figure out and it's more about executing the plans. Hopes to execute the plans better in the coming games.
SHAN MASOOD IS THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH! The Multan opener says that his selection in the Test squad has given him confidence and as a player, he just tries to stick to the process. Adds that he has been a bit more clear in his mind and reacting to the situation. Shares that the pitch looked like a belter initially but then it turned out to be tricky when the bowlers bowled wicket-to-wicket. Feels that they got a decent total and their bowlers did well to defend it.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Blessing Muzarabani joins for a chat. Says that it's always good to keep it easy and hit your lengths. Adds that he is really happy to pick some wickets in this match. Mentions that his height is an advantage and he is really happy to be picked for this match. States that the pitch is slow and you just need to mix your variations. Signs off by saying that he hopes that they win all the games.
There was no spark in the chase. Blessing Muzarabani pegged Peshawar Zalmi back with a couple of blows in the second over by removing the openers cheaply. Only for a brief period, for 24 balls to be precise, Multan Sultans were under the pump when Liam Livingstone and Shoaib Malik threatened to attack. They dropped catches as well but such is their form that even lady luck loves to be on their side. As soon as Liam was sent packing, the chase nosedived. Malik stayed around for a bit but then decided to take care of the asking rate. He though failed and after that, it was one-way traffic. Blessing Muzarabani stood out with his 3-fer and it was a comfortable win for the Sultans.
Yet another convincing win for Multan Sultans. It's becoming a bit monotonous now. The venue changed but not their performance. Their template of starting strong with the bat, finishing the innings with a flourish and then defending with a lot of flavour remains the same in the second leg also. Peshawar got steam-rolled in the reverse fixture as well - losing both the games by a fairly big margin.

Khushdil Shah To Salman Irshad OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Khushdil Shah seals the game for Multan Sultans with an incredible catch. Tossed up, full and outside off. Salman Irshad gets low and tries to slog-sweep but ends up mistiming it behind the bowler's head. This one is not going far away as it comes off the bottom half. Khushdil Shah calls for the catch, he turns around and runs towards it. Later, he dives full length to gather the ball safely with both hands. The third umpire is referred but it's neatly done by Khushdil Shah. MULTAN SULTANS WIN THE GAME BY 42 RUNS.

Strategic Time-Out! Needless to say, Multan Sultans hold the upper hand in this game. Peshawar Zalmi are six wickets down and only a miracle can get them over the line now. Can the lower order of Peshawar Zalmi pull a rabbit out of the hat? Stay tuned to find out how things pan out. 81 needed off 35 balls. Wahab Riaz is the next batsman.

Imran Tahir To Shoaib Malik OUT!
OUT! Imran Tahir hunts down the prized scalp of Shoaib Malik. Flighted one, full and around leg, perhaps a leg spinner, Shoaib Malik steps down the track and attempts to heave it into the stands at mid-wicket. His shot though lacks the desired distance and Shan Masood settles underneath it in the deep. He goes down on his knees, juggles a bit but then secures the catch. Shan takes a moment to compose himself and then gets up to celebrate. Meanwhile, Imran Tahir is on his bike, he has probably hit the final nail in the coffin of Peshawar Zalmi.
Imran Tahir (3-0-23-0) is back into the attack.

Blessing Muzarabani To Sherfane Rutherford OUT!
OUT! Sherfane Rutherford holes out. Smart bowling from the Zimbabwean. Blessing Muzarabani bowls this one with a quick-arm action but dishes out a slower one again. Clever change in pace to fool the batsman. The ball lands on a length around off, Sherfane Rutherford is way too early into the shot and his bottom hand comes off the handle. It flies tamely to long off and Tim David settles underneath it. 92 needed off 42 balls and this match is fast slipping away from Peshawar Zalmi.

OUT! CAUGHT! Shahnawaz Dahani is up and running with his celebration, copying Imran Tahir and even bettering him as he has gone all the way to the boundary line. When you are young, you can do all these antics. Imran Tahir has stopped putting in a long run now. Everything is going right for Multan Sultans at the moment. Shahnawaz Dahani comes back into the attack and strikes on his very first delivery. It is a short ball, around off, again with some steep bounce. Hussain Talat stays inside the crease and pulls it aerially to mid-wicket without any conviction. He does so straight to the fielder and Anwar Ali takes a good catch.

Abbas Afridi To Liam Livingstone OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Abbas Afridi ends the over in a way better fashion and sends back the big fish, Liam Livingstone. Abbas Afridi is elated. Joy for Multan Sultans. Now to the delivery, it is a slightly short ball, outside off, again carrying some extra bounce. Liam Livingstone stays inside the crease and looks to have a poke at it but ends up getting a faint outside edge. Mohammad Rizwan does really well behind the stumps. The umpire raises his finger in a flash and Liam Livingstone does not take the review. Abbas Afridi has redeemed himself, he had dropped Liam Livingstone earlier and will be feeling a lot better now. 141 needed off 84 balls.

OUT! TIMBER! Blessing Muzarabani strikes for the second time in his first over. Multan Sultans on top of the proceedings straightaway. A good-length ball, on the stumps. Ali looks to whip it across the line but only manages to drag it onto the stumps off the bottom edge. Both the openers are sent packing cheaply.

Blessing Muzarabani To Kamran Akmal OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! A collision there but both players are fine! Blessing Muzarabani serves it short again, around off and there is some extra bounce, Kamran Akmal turns inside the crease to pull but it takes the top edge and flies between the keeper and short fine leg. Shahnawaz Dahani is stationed there, ready to take the catch but Mohammad Rizwan is also charging across to his left. The keeper puts in a full-length dive but only to collide with Dahani who does well to keep his eyes on the ball and catch the ball. Shahnawaz Dahani loses his balance but holds onto the catch. That looked like a spear from Goldberg but luckily, Shahnawaz Dahani escapes without getting hurt.

Blessing Muzarabani To Kamran Akmal
Short in length around off, Akmal hangs on the back foot and pulls it from the bottom half of his bat. It races away from mid on and Anwar Ali gives the chase. He does well to slide and pull it back before the fence and saves two. Not easy to do that after bowling an over.
Who will bowl from the other end? It's going to be Blessing Muzarabani to speed in...
