5:55pm Right. That will be that from us for this game. But do join us in an hour's time as the Lahore Qalandars take on Peshawar Zalmi. Until next time, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of Sudeep, Venkat and everyone at ESPNcricinfo. Goodbye, and take care!
Tabraiz Shamsi is the Player of the Match for his spell of 4-0-18-3.
5:40pm Wow, that was one-way traffic towards the end. The Sultans began their run-chase well, with Masood and Rizwan getting them off to a decent start. But once the spinners came into play, the visitors just did not have any answers. Imad, Malik and Shamsi combined for eight wickets and brought the run-scoring to a standstill. Akif Javed also picked up a couple of crucial wickets, which included the scalp of Masood.
As for the Sultans, well, their shot selection and decision-making was not great. They almost always chose the wrong options against the spinners and were made to pay. This win means that the Kings now have four points on the board, and they also climb up to third on the points table. The Sultans, meanwhile, will now be looking over their shoulders, with Islamabad United just two points behind, despite having played a couple of games less.
