1st Innings
- Shan Masood didn’t appear to be in terrific form, but Rizwan made sure they continued scoring on the powerplay.
- However, he could not continue since Shadab quickly caught up with him.
- Masood gained a lot of confidence and batted a solid hand as he spent more time at the wicket before being removed for 65. Tim David, on the other hand, was the show’s headliner.
- He ripped through Islamabad’s pace bowlers and scored with ease.
- In the 16th over, he hit four consecutive sixes, scoring 30 runs. David was removed for a 27-ball 60 after some brilliant bowling in the final two overs.

2nd Innings
- Earlier, Hales looked threatening but was bowled out by Anwar Ali’s slower ball, which also claimed Gurbaz’s wicket.
- Colin Munro and Shadab Khan formed a solid combo, with the left-hander appearing particularly dangerous.
- Then Munro was bowled by Usama Mir, and the vital wicket of Azam Khan was taken quickly on by the legspinner, and the game appeared to be heading Multan’s way.
- Before leaving, Asif Ali stepped out and barely squeaked out another partnership with Shadab.
- Ihsanullah produced a fantastic last two overs, dismissing Shadab and Mubasir, Faheem, who had been there for a long time, remained firm and guided his team to victory.
- 30 was required off two overs and 18 off the last one.
- Mohammad Ilyas began with a broad, a fortunate under-edge, and a magnificent shot that crossed the line and got it down to changing area before a pair of unusual blunders from Miller and Pollard deflated Multan as Faheem ended it in fashion with a ball remaining
