The PSL 9 Draft is also updated.
First Innings
| Peshawar Zalmi 204-5 (20 overs) | |
| BATTING | BOWLING |
| Babar Azam 64 (40) | Aamer Jamal 2-36 |
| Saim Ayub 46 (22) | Naveen-ul-Haq 1-32 |
| Haseebullah Khan 31 (20) | Mehran Mumtaz 1-20 |
| TARGET | 205 RUNS in 20 overs |
- Peshawar Zalmi put up a decent batting display, but they may feel like they left a few runs on the table, especially given their strong start.
- The openers got off to a flying start. Both Saim Ayub and Babar Azam hit boundaries at will, and they shared an 84-run partnership until Mir dismissed Ayub for 46.
- The Sultans were able to get in a few quiet overs as an out-of-form Kohler-Cadmore toiled at the crease before being dismissed.
- Babar Azam had been completely bereft of striking opportunities, but when Haseebullah Khan came, another little collaboration formed.
- Babar let free and scored another impressive fifty before being cast by Mir.
- Powell delivered a few powerful strikes, but the Sultans held on in the end to maintain the score at 204.
- It won’t be easy, but the ground looks ideal for batting, so we should have a thrilling chase.
Second Innings
| Multan Sultans (20 overs) | |
| BATTING | BOWLING |
| Iftikhar Ahmed 60 (27) | Shadab Khan 3-14 |
| Chris Jordan 30 (12) | Hunain Shah 2-25 |
| Mohammad Rizwan 32 (24) | Rumman Raees 2-28 |
| RESULT | United won by 29 runs |
- Multan’s second loss in the competition, both against the Zalmi side. Iftikhar Ahmed and Jordan used blinders to bring the hunt to an end.
- The last over required 23 runs, but the pair only managed to get 18. Zalmi desperately needed these two points, and they managed to get them.
- They didn’t have a strong start in the pursuit, which didn’t assist them.
- Rizwan’s absence due to a run-out worsened the situation.
- Tayyab and Malan attempted various runs, but they were only able to inflict minimal damage.
- Iftikhar and Jordan were the ones who truly threw the bowlers off their game at the end.
