That's all for today. We'll be back with playoffs action after a day's break. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, it's goodbye and goodnight from me, Rvel Zahid

Multan Sultans are back to business as usual and have sent a loud and clear warning to the other three teams that they're hungry for another title. They finish at the top of the tree with 14 points. It was a resounding win as they outclassed Quetta Gladiators in all departments of the game. Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi will lock horns in the Qualifier 1 while Quetta Gladiators will face Islamabad United in the Eliminator 1. David Willey triggered the slide in the powerplay and then Abbas Afridi and Usama Mir didn't allow them to get off the hook. We didn't get a nail-biter today, unlike the story of last week. It wasn't the highest quality of cricket from Quetta but they have some time to gather their thoughts and remap their strategy before the all-important playoffs. On a tricky surface, Mohammad Rizwan and Johnson Charles did the bulk of the scoring for a par score and then Iftikhar Ahmed put the cherry on top with an eight-ball 20-run cameo. In reply, Quetta were going nowhere with the chase and their progress was beset by frequent loss of wickets. The fate of the game was decided once the top guns were neutralized early in the piece

14.4
W
Willey to Abrar Ahmed, OUT, Abrar threw the kitchen sink at it, shortish and hung away outside off, he wanted to pump that over midwicket but ended up nicking it back to the bowler, clear sound of the bat

Usama Mir to Abrar Ahmed, no run, Delicious slower mysterious legbreak turning away markedly from a length outside off, two slips lurking, he was uncertain what to do with it, lucky it didn't find an edge
13.5
W
Usama Mir to Mohammad Amir, OUT, Bemused him with a peach of a wrong'un that pitches full and spins sharply to uproot middle pole, execution was perfect, that's more like it. Gotta toss it up and allows it to spin. Amir stepped down and looked to swing him over midwicket, didn't account for the turn, Usama was supremely accurate on this occasion, it was too good for a tailender

AJ Hosein c †Mohammad Rizwan b Abbas Afridi 6 (12m 6b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
