Commentary

That's it from the PSL action today! Tomorrow, the action moves to Lahore with the Lahore Qalandars taking on Quetta Gladiators. Make sure you join for that, this is Sourabh Agrawal in company of Rajarshi Das signing off! Good night

Mohammad Rizwan (Multan Sultans' captain) - I felt that it was a good score because I have a lot of trust in our coach, Abdur Rehman's reading of the pitch. He said that anything above 180 would be a good score. At one point, we thought we could get more, spoke to Malan, but we need to give credit to their bowlers as well. We have the best hitters in Pakistan and we did not need them today. Our bowlers, all of them, bowled really well from the likes of Abbas and Mohammad Ali.

Reeza Hendricks is the Player Of The Match! Here's what he has to say: The conditions played a role in us slowing down, definitely wasn't easy in the middle. There was a bit of purchase for the spinners and the slower ones were holding. Conditions definitely played a part. Was never intentional to go as slow, but the partnership helped us to set it up and finish it at the back end. It was new conditions for me, to set up and assess and play accordingly. That's exactly what I did, managed some time in the middle. The wicket got easier, and then I could play my natural game. We just saw the conditions and went with it, ended up being a good total today.

MATCH SUMMARY

Multan Sultan won by 55 runs

Reeza Hendricks 79(54) | Mohammad Ali 3/23(4)
Shoaib Malik 53(35) | Mir Hamza 1/30(4)

Multan Sultan have started the tournament with a thumping win against Karachi Kings in what turned out be a pretty-one sided affair. The target of 186, one which looked like it could be a bit under par at the inning break, ended up being more than enough for the Multan Sultan. Karachi Kings were never in the chase and have fallen short by a big margin of 55 runs.

Coming out to chase in the second half, Karachi made a sedate start with the bat. But what was not sedate was the bowling from David Willey. He got the ball to move around and removed 2 wickets in 2 deliveries in the third over to push Karachi on the backfoot early at 2/10. Shan Masood and Shoaib Malik provided some resistance after that with the former struggling for timing. Masood eventually holed out on 30 to Hamza after a not so impressive outing.

Shoaib Malik combined with Nawaz and tried to give the chase some momentum with a few big hits. He got to his 50 in the process but fell on the next delivery and that was pretty much it for Karachi. The likes of Sams, Hasan and Hamza did not trouble the scorers and even though Pollard was on the crease for Karachi he could not take them over the line since the required rate had gone through the charts. He farmed the strike in the last few overs and ended up on a less than a run a ball 28. For Multan, the bowlers were clinical and brilliant in their execution. David Willey started it all with 2 wickets, but Mohammad Ali and Abbas Afridi were brilliant with their yorkers and variations and got 3 and 2 wickets respectively.

Earlier in the piece, Karachi got to 185 on the back of a record 121-run partnership for the second wicket between Reeza Hendricks and Dawid Malan who scored 79* and 52 runs respectively. Their skipper Rizwan fell early but these two made sure that Multan got to a good score. Also, a brilliant cameo of 28 was played at the end by Khushdil to provide the finishing kick to the innings. For Karachi, Usama Mir and Daniel Sams picked up a wicket each.

Presentations coming up!

19.6 Shahnawaz Dahani to Kieron Pollard, back of a length angled towards leg stump, Pollard glances this one towards the man at deep square, and they cross over for a run this time. The crowd breaks into applause as the home side triumphs by 55 runs!

19.5 Shahnawaz Dahani to Kieron Pollard, banged in short outside off, Pollard waits for it and pulls this one towards deep square. Shamsi doesn't get to face the last ball either

19.4 Shahnawaz Dahani to Kieron Pollard, ouch! Short of a length angled into the batter, this one turned out to be too quick for Pollard. He took a blow to the side of his waist

19.3 Shahnawaz Dahani to Kieron Pollard, back of a length on off, Pollard has a big swing across the line. Doesn't have enough behind it to clear the ropes - the man at deep mid wicket gathers this one on the bounce. Pollard doesn't want the run

19.3 Shahnawaz Dahani to Kieron Pollard, wide, wayward short ball, this one balloons over Pollard and down leg

19.2 Shahnawaz Dahani to Kieron Pollard, slow, back of a length outside off, Pollard looked to pull, was early on it and was struck on the waist

19.1 Shahnawaz Dahani to Tabraiz Shamsi, Dahani misses the stumps from a couple of yards with Shamsi miles out! Full, on the pads, Shamsi doesn't get bat on it. Pollard calls him through for a run, Shamsi is slow to get across, but survives

Shahnawaz Dahani [2.0-0-28-0] is back into the attack

Kieron Pollard won't be on strike for the first ball of the last over, Multan would look to wrap it up ideally.

David Willey

2 /22

18.6 David Willey to Kieron Pollard, FOUR! Willey misses his yorker this time - the line was around off stump. Pollard, having moved away initially, moved back in, took this one on the full, and found the boundary behind square

18.5 David Willey to Kieron Pollard, full, on off, Pollard clubs this one back at Willey, who gets a palm to it, deflecting the ball towards long off. It is the same ump again who was in the firing line and he will have David Willey to thank this time for getting a hand and deflecting the ball.

18.4 David Willey to Kieron Pollard, pitched up on off, drilled towards the deep extra cover region

18.3 David Willey to Kieron Pollard, FOUR! Back of a length, Pollard gets into position and pumps this one aerially towards deep mid wicket, beating the fielder in the deep to his right

18.2 David Willey to Kieron Pollard, pacy length delivery angled across the batter, Pollard looked to pull but didn't make contact

18.1 David Willey to Kieron Pollard, straight up... safe! Short of a length on middle and off, Pollard, rushed for pace, miscued this one towards mid off trying to pull. Willey had to chase after it and got hold of it
