What drama and what entertainment! Spectacular batting from both sides, with bowlers having less to celebrate. Salman Irshad managed to nail a few yorkers in the last over and Babar Azam will be a relieved man to get the vital two points. After putting 204 on the board, thanks to the blistering start from Saim Ayub and Babar Azam, the innings lost a bit of momentum before Haseebullah Khan and Rovman Powell injected impetus, helping to put a decent total on this batting-friendly wicket. In reply, Multan Sultans started off slowly and didn't seem on course to get close to the target but Iftikhar Ahmed had other plans and gave a massive scare to Peshawar; he received able support from Chris Jordan, who made a quickfire 30 off 12 and nearly snatched the game from Peshawar. Left-arm spinner Mehran Mumtaz was riding high on confidence and was eager to seize the opportunity. On a day when bowlers were getting smashed all around the park, he managed to create massive problems for the batters and returned 1/20 (a player-of-the-match-worthy performance for me). The youngster has shown enough promise to deserve consistent opportunities in this PSL That brings an end to our coverage from Rawalpindi. Thank you for your company. Join us again tomorrow for the Karachi Kings-Quetta Gladiators match. For now, it's goodbye and goodnight from Rvel Zahid
Ahmad Waqas: "Gotta feel for Iftikhar!Such a dynamic low-order power hitter. Almost pulled things off.
Umair : "Ifti should be player of the match, he deserves it!
Raj: "I feel Rizwan is not suitable for this format, or atleast in the top order. Problem with him is he plays too many balls, Doesn't get out, Doesn't accelerate after the start, his game is consistent from ball 1 to his last ball , puts too much pressure to lower middle order. He's good to chase down 130-150 targets but he is not suited to chase down bigger targets. "
Mehmood Amjad: "Mehran Mumtaz must be man of the match on economical figures in batting friendly conditions "
nabeel: "MS need Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard along with 58 in three overs because if you know you know .........clue in IPL."
