9.20 PM: Multan Sultans have cantered along to a well above-par total and given themselves a superb chance of making it five wins in a row. They started extremely well with Masood and Rizwan carrying them unscathed through the powerplay. Maqsood kept upping the ante after Masood was dismissed with Rizwan on the other hand waltzing along on his merry way. He was soon joined by Tim in the middle who emulated his ball-striking antics from the other night, smashing the joint-fastest fifty of PSL 2022. The skipper himself made a sublime 82 off 53 with Khushdil providing the finishing touches at the rear-end with those three sixes. A near-perfect innings for the defending champions, not so much for Peshawar Zalmi who were quite ordinary in the field and couldn't execute their bowling plans under pressure, unlike last night.

We'll be back in a jiffy with the run-chase, stay tuned

Peshawar Zalmi have been set a gargantuan target of 223 runs to win the match

Wahab Riaz to Khushdil Shah, 4 leg byes, Full-toss down middle and leg, Khushdil swishes across the line, it brushes his back-pad and screeches away to the fine-leg boundary. That's rubbing salt in Peshawar Zalmi's wounds

Wahab Riaz to Khushdil Shah, SIX, Walloped! Goodness me, that's three in a row. Advances down the track to this slower bouncer and swats it aerially across the line. Supremely connected and that's gone ten rows back over the deep midwicket boundary. Sensational power-hitting

Wahab Riaz to Khushdil Shah, SIX, Powered down the ground for six more! Low full-toss again from Wahab, this time Khushdil lunges back and swings through the line. It soars straight back over the bowler's head and into the sight-screen

Salman Irshad to David, SIX, Launched into the orbit! Slower ball in the arc, he's waiting on the back-foot as he smokes through the line back over the bowler's head. It hangs in the air for eternity and lands way back over the boundary ropes
