Multan Sultans

(19.3 ov) 130/10 (19.3 ov) 130/10 (19.3 ov) 130/10

Lahore Qalandars won by 52 runs

So, with this result, there are no unbeaten teams this season. Good for the tournament you'd think. A rude awakening for Multan who were outplayed in all departments today by a fierce Lahore outfit who looked hungrier for the victory in their home ground. Might just be tonic they needed to get on a roll. The PSL bandwagon rolls on tomorrow with Shadab Khan's Islamabad United taking on Sarfaraz Ahmed's Quetta Gladiators. Do join us for that one. Until next time, it's goodbye from us.

Shaheen Afridi: Big win for us and I'm really pleased with the performances of everyone in the team. Rashid bowled well, Fakhar batted really well and everyone played their part. Nobody drops catches on purpose, I just ensure that I encourage my bowlers and fielders. I want them to give their best and hope that we can all enjoy ourselves out there. Hope we can carry this momentum forward.

Mohammad Rizwan: We were trying to experiment a bit by bowling first as we had been batting first in the last few games. But coming to the game, Fakhar batted well and took the game away from us considerably. In the batting, we couldn't quite get partnerships going. Wouldn't say that it (dew) was that much of a factor, because Lahore also bowled in those conditions and they did well. Credit to them for the win.

Fakhar Zaman | Player of the Match: I'm focussing to take it ball by ball and then play my shots later on. In today's cricket, if a batter bats long for 10 overs, he puts his team in a strong position. Pitches in Karachi were better to bat on, here (Lahore) you need to work harder for the runs. It (the win) is a big achievement, because we all know how strong Multan are as a side. It will surely boost our morale. Crowd has been fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Hopefully, when 100 percent occupancy is allowed, it will be more fun.

Rashid Khan: I watched the first innings and just wanted to keep things simple and hit the right areas. It is always tough to bowl the third ball of the hat-trick. During a hat-trick there is a lot of pressure on the bowler, more than the batsman. It was a very important win for us, coming here to Lahore and winning against the unbeaten Multan Sultans. The crowd was amazing and it was a reminder of what things were a few years back. It gives us a lot of energy and hopefully we can keep it going in the upcoming matches as well.

23:25 Local Time, 18:25 GMT, 23:55 IST: The first game for Qalandars on their home turf this season and they have begun in some style by upsetting the juggernaut of the defending champs. These 180-ish targets had been chased a few times, Lahore themselves had failed to defend a 200-plus total against Quetta not too long ago. But the Gaddafi Stadium is much slower and that meant that chasing was never going to be easy, even with some dew around. Lahore's potent bowling stifled the scoring rate in the powerplay and the chase never got on track for Multan at any stage. Their talisman captain Rizwan struggled, as did most batters out there and wickets kept falling at regular intervals to stall their progress. In the end, the game was done much before it actually ended. Clinical performance from Lahore. They did drop a few sitters but all that was after they had more or less pocketed the game. They were buoyed on by a passionate home crowd who must be thrilled at the result.

Zaman Khan to Tahir, out Caught by Harry Brook!! Lahore end Multan's unbeaten streak in PSL 2022 with a big win! A fine piece of fielding to cap things off. Was a very full ball, Tahir looked to go over extra cover and sliced it uppishly towards sweeper cover. Was always going away from Brook who timed his slide well and pouched it beautifully. Tahir c Harry Brook b Zaman Khan 3(9)
