That's all from us today. Join us again tomorrow for the match between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi. For now, it's goodbye and goodnight from Rvel Zahid
Usman Khan, Player of the Match: I try to give my 100% regardless of where I bat in the order. I look to play ball in the V, and I don't miss singles, always keep that in mind, make sure to capitalise on the loose balls. Our coaches tell us to keep fours and sixes in mind. Zahid bowled three good overs and we're looking to target him in his last
Multan Sultans have become the first team to secure a spot in the playoffs!
Multan Sultans were superb tonight and delivered another emphatic victory over the hapless Karachi Kings--who couldn't match the quality of Multan Sultans. Masood got off to a sedate start, Seifert and Vince departed early in the piece and thereon Malik hung around for 38, but there was not enough firepower in the tank to take the game deep. With no Kieron Pollard in the mix, it was an uphill task to chase down 190. Multan's bowling was magnificent as usual; spinners stymied the run-flow in the middle overs, and Chris Jordan was exceptional with his yorkers, while David Willey suffocated batters with his cunning cutters. Mohammad Ali was a little expensive, taking into account the high standards he has set for himself, but everyone is allowed to have a few suboptimal days at the office. All in all, the execution from the bowling attack was top-class. The night belongs to Usman Khan, though; he is such a joy to watch. He is the kind of batter who dictates terms and can change the complexion of the game in a matter of a few overs. The franchises representing the two biggest metropolises of Pakistan, Karachi and Lahore, are both languishing at the bottom, reminiscent of the state of affairs in earlier editions
Khurseed Sheikh: "Yeah, I'm a great fast bowler, one of the greatest player of my club, I'm handy with the bat too !"
Ammar: "I do play cricket actively as I'm in Pakistan and 12."
Mazahir: "Why Sharjeel Khan is not playing this season?"
Ajamal : "I believe MS may not win this, as they will run out of energy. India were favourite to win but lost after winning 10 games." You are comparing high-profile ICC event with league cricket, not sure if it's a fair comparison
Do you actively play cricket apart from watching?
