Sultans might have felt their 185 would be enough on a tricky surface, but Mitchell and Raza finished the chase with an over to spare

Daryl Mitchell, Player of the Match: Amount of grass didn't make any difference in terms of sideways movement and we tried to build partnerships. 180 was about par, nice to get a platform and partnerships. Abdullah Shafique absorbed pressure and put it back on them. The job of No.4 is to adapt to different conditions. (Applauds Sikandar Raza)
Perhaps the conditions got a bit better for batting in the second innings and the quality of the top and middle-order made the difference between the two sides. I don't think 186 was a subpar total by any means but Multan were unable to put up a disciplined effort towards the end and leaked plenty of boundaries. The two best chasers in modern-day cricket, Raza and Mitchell, were in top form, which compounded their problems. Abdullah played a measured knock and Fakhar provided a brisk start as well. Multan have now been defeated for the fifth time this season and are on the brink of early elimination. Earlier, Rizwan and Ghulam did some fantastic rebuilding work and were superb towards the end, making up for a slightly sluggish middle phase
Omar: "@Saqib, they let go of Ihsanullah, not a surprise tbh. "
Saqib: "multan bowling is letting them down in every match. No spark"
