That's all we have from the game. Watch out for Matt's report, and we'll see you tomorrow!

"We're very happy," Islamabad skipper Shadab Khan says. "Like I said earlier, we have depth in our batting but you can't afford to hand the momentum over to the other side. I'm just glad we won. Experience told for us in the end. Faheem's little innings was vital, and we need to use him as much as possible. The first win gives us momentum and we look forward to the rest of the league."

Lewis Gregory is the Player of the Match. "We got off to a fantastic start but lost our way in the middle. It was the sort of chase where we didn't have to do something too crazy. That allowed me to take my time and get adjusted to the pitch. I just needed to find the gaps, and thankfully that happened."

"I thought we bowled really well to keep them down to 150, and the top six had to take responsibility," Islamabad United opener Alex Hales says, We didn't quite do that, but our allrounders really bailed us out. I'm used to playing in different conditions around the world. Each country poses different challenges but I really enjoy it"

Now it feels like the PSL's properly taken off. First real nailbiter of this season, and this will give Islamabad a huge lift. They looked like they were cruising, before throwing it away in the middle, but Lewis Gregory and some real sloppiness in the field gets them back in it, and the two-time champions have the last laugh.

Sohaibullah to Gregory, 1 wide, that's a wide, and while that denies Gregory the half-century, let that not detract from a glorious innings for his side. Multan look properly dejected here, they've thrown this game away. Afridi having words with Sohail Tanvir and it's all fallen apart for Mohammad Rizwan's side

What a masterful innings this has been

Sohail Tanvir to Gregory, 1 run, Single to keep the strike. Scores level, 19 off the over, and Islamabad are about to begin with a win

Sohail Tanvir to Gregory, FOUR, driven back past Tanvir. Right in the slot and he slapped it back past the bowler for a fourth boundary on the trot. Gregory two away from 50 now

Sohail Tanvir to Gregory, FOUR, another boundary, beats short fine leg this time. Strays down leg side and all he has to do is steer it past the man at short fine. Just 6 away now

Sohail Tanvir to Gregory, FOUR, carved away past backward point, and Islamabad on their way now. Somehow, Multan have seen this slip away from them. Pierces the gap between deep point and backward point, but Tanvir felt the ring fielder could have put in a better effort there
