253/8(20.0ov)
Multan Sultans beat Quetta Gladiators by 9 runs
Right then, that is it from the game and it was a run fest. The Pakistan Super League action continues as we have a doubleheader on Super Sunday, 12th of March. It is Islamabad United versus Peshawar Zalmi at 2.30 pm IST (9.00 am GMT) and Lahore Qalandars versus Karachi Kings at 7.30 pm IST (2.00 pm GMT). Until then, goodbye and cheers!
Abbas AfridiĀ is the player of the match for his five-wicket haul.
Earlier in the match, it was all fireworks at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Usman Khan and Mohammad Rizwan started off with all guns blazing. They lost their first wicket at 157 runs. The former scored 120 runs while the latter scored 55. Later, Tim David and Kieron Pollard joined hands and made their side reach a mammoth total of 262 runs.
The pitch didn't have much assistance for the bowlers out there but Multan Sultans did certainly well. They got things in control once the Iftikhar Ahmed-Omair Yousuf partnership was broken. Abbas Afridi picked up a fifer and he was the one who broke the Iftikhar Ahmed-Omair Yousuf partnership. Ihsanullah picked two which included the wicket of the dangerous Omair Yousuf.
It was a good fightback from the Quetta Gladiators. Had the target would have been a bit less, things would have been different here. They had their hopes until Omair Yousuf was on the crease. He was dismissed in the 16th overs andĀ things fell off for the Quetta Gladiators. They will be upset with how things ended up for them as they bow out of the competition now.
