Multan Sultans end their last home fixture with a victory! They were superior in the crunch moments and their seam bowlers were magnificent; Mohammad Ali, David Willey, and Abbas Afridi can be counted on to deliver the goods. Saud Shakeel, Khawaja Nafay, and Rilee Rossouw all got starts, but nobody could hang around for long enough to keep the asking rate in check. This Multan team only needs a sniff to get back in the game. Mohammad Ali was the standout performer again, picking 3/19, and his fellow bowling spearhead David Willey picked three vital wickets as well. The youngster Aftab Ibrahim didn't look nervous in his first game and held his end of the bargain while Abbas Afridi and Usama Mir played their roles well too. It would have been closer had any of those top batters taken it deep. Multan were able to dominate the last five overs while batting first and carried the momentum in the bowling as well
Mohammad Ali, Player of the Match: I try to improve my performance after each game and aim to minimize errors, just simple plan to target good areas and do what the situation demands. I'll give credit to four-day cricket, all our legends Wasim bhai, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar have become legends by playing four-day cricket which covers white-ball cricket and T20 as well. I'll miss Multan crowd's support and I hope they'll keep supporting us.
That wraps up the first of the double-header. The second game between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi is almost an hour away, so we'll look forward to your company for that game. But for now, from Rvel Zahid, it's goodbye and thank you for joining us!
