Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Ekanth
Islamabad will be relieved that they had done enough to keep the NRR high and bowled the first four overs to ensure Quetta's exit. Their batting needs soul searching and, hopefully, some of their gun players to return from injury. But what matters now is that the Points Table has the top four teams with a Q next to their names. Lahore should be able to end in the top two even if they lose heavily. The details on that will come in tomorrow. Do join us then, you can catch all the action here on ESPNCricinfo as Lahore take on Peshawar. For now, I'm Ekanth, signing off on behalf of our scorer, Ranjith. Stay safe and take care.
Asif Ali, Islamabad Captain says a couple of foreign players will complete their quarantine and will be in time for the playoffs. And says Shadab will hopefully return too.

Multan, the defending champions, have now won nine of their ten league games, the most in a PSL season ever.
10:45 pm: Multan wobbled a bit but Rizwan kept the chase steady. Dawson was exceptional in the powerplay and the other spinners looked threatening but did not pick wickets. That meant that Rizwan along with support from David Willey, who came in to rest Rilee Rossouw's who was struck on the thumb, took the team home.
Uzair: "Rizwan deserves a fifty!"
