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.
