  • Salman Irshad3-0-46-0
  • Naveen-ul-Haq4-0-32-1

What drama and what entertainment! Spectacular batting from both sides, with bowlers having less to celebrate. Salman Irshad managed to nail a few yorkers in the last over and Babar Azam will be a relieved man to get the vital two points. After putting 204 on the board, thanks to the blistering start from Saim Ayub and Babar Azam, the innings lost a bit of momentum before Haseebullah Khan and Rovman Powell injected impetus, helping to put a decent total on this batting-friendly wicket. In reply, Multan Sultans started off slowly and didn't seem on course to get close to the target but Iftikhar Ahmed had other plans and gave a massive scare to Peshawar; he received able support from Chris Jordan, who made a quickfire 30 off 12 and nearly snatched the game from Peshawar. Left-arm spinner Mehran Mumtaz was riding high on confidence and was eager to seize the opportunity. On a day when bowlers were getting smashed all around the park, he managed to create massive problems for the batters and returned 1/20 (a player-of-the-match-worthy performance for me). The youngster has shown enough promise to deserve consistent opportunities in this PSL That brings an end to our coverage from Rawalpindi. Thank you for your company. Join us again tomorrow for the Karachi Kings-Quetta Gladiators match. For now, it's goodbye and goodnight from Rvel Zahid
