- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Multan Sultans gets the massive breakthrough in the first over! He hits the deck hard and it was getting big on him at leg, he lifted his front leg, swiveled to the leg side and miscued a skier to Yasir Khan at deep backward square. Willey is pumped up after getting the in-form opener early in the piece. He has uncoupled the swashbuckling opening pair 4/113.4 Sounds the death rattle! Demolishes him with a corker of a yorker that smashes into the bottom of off-stump and zingers are flying all over the place. Jordan gets the biggest fish! Absolutely cleaned up by a perfect yorker, he tries to squirt that to deep third but got beaten by the pace and accuracy, risky shot but he has executed it well on previous occasions 101/45.6 Loses the plot, throws it away after playing some eye-catching strokes. Ali bowls a short thunderbolt on a nagging off-stump line, he tries to play a cheeky little dab to deep third and ends up feathering to Rizwan. Gone just when he was poised to cut loose 51/27.6 And that's another one! A trot to the pitch, half-tracker outside off, a loose delivery, but he goes hard at the freebie and cuts it straight to M.Ali who snaffles it down his throat. Another prized scalp and Babar Azam grimaces on the other hand, Zalmi lose a couple of early wickets, one again Babar needs to bat deep and hold the innings together 57/315.2 Tries to smoosh him into the stands and ends up giving a regulation catch to David Willey at long-off! How often have we seen loss of wicket right after the timeout? Usama bowled a fuller leg-break and he played a nothing shot, bat pointing towards long-on and lost his shape with that hoick. Peshawar in a spot of bother 109/517.5 Powell has to go! Another one bites the dust, jockeys across off and spoons this low-full toss wide of off to M.Ali at short fine. A simple catch for the pacer. Mistimes his shot and that's another prized scalp because he is a dangerous customer. 130/618.2 Knocked him over! Reverse swinging lethal yorker pinged the off-stump and beats his cheeky little reverse paddle. Multan have shown who's the boss 131/7Extras9 (lb 3, w 1, pen 5)TOTAL146/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.3)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Saim Ayub, 0.5 ov), 2-51 (Mohammad Haris, 5.6 ov), 3-57 (Haseebullah Khan, 7.6 ov), 4-101 (Babar Azam, 13.4 ov), 5-109 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 15.2 ov), 6-130 (Rovman Powell, 17.5 ov), 7-131 (Aamer Jamal, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.5 Tries to muller that downtown but ends up getting Mehran in the way who takes a spellbinding catch after his follow-through, he came down the wicket and spliced it back to him. Vital contribution, he'll remember that innings for a long time. Another superb selection from Multan Sultans 84/27.4 Aamer Jamal Strikes! Tad short on off, pace-off delivery, he crouches and looks to slog sweep him over deep square but finds Saim Ayub to perfection who gobbles it up gleefully. A teeny-tiny window has opened for PZ as they finally get a breakthrough and a big one. 61/116.1 DISTURBS THE FURNITURE! Bowls a stupendous yorker and the bails are flying in the air, arms aloft as he loved the sight of stumps getting rearranged, got the big hitter out of the equation, too little, too late? 119/3Extras9 (lb 5, w 4)TOTAL147/3 (18.3 Overs, RR: 7.94)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Mohammad Rizwan, 7.4 ov), 2-84 (Yasir Khan, 10.5 ov), 3-119 (Johnson Charles, 16.1 ov)
