- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 helped to fine leg where Junaid Khan has taken a stunner. Picked up the ball even as it may have been hovering around the ring of fire, ran in a couple of steps and dived full length forward to complete it. Tamim was beaten for pace this time even as he tried to repeat what he just did a couple of deliveries ago. Walked across to help it along but not to be this time. 22/21.5 beaten for pace, takes on the short ball and skies it straight to square leg. Kamran Akmal's stay is a short one. Was in no position to play the pull. Mohammad Irfan is Multan Sultan's first wicket-taker in PSL history. The guy who captain Malik didn't remember at the toss takes the catch. 4/19.5 flat hit but straight to Pollard, who has big, bucket hands at wide long-on. Nicely tossed up, Smith ends up hitting this full delivery across the line from way outside off when he may have been better off looking to hit straighter. Big wicket, big moment possibly. 57/318.2 pulled straight to square leg. A change of pace and length. Dug in short on middle stump and he drags it straight into the mid-riff of the fielder there 132/515.4 holes out to long-on. Similar shot attempt as the last ball. Backs away and sets up for the pull. It has extra bounce this time and is still pacey. Slices a running catch for long-on 101/419.5 outside edge straight to the keeper. It's a length ball with a lot of room. He looks to club across the line without too much feet and ends up too far from it. The perfect T20 innings from Sammy.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR14.5 gets him! Wahab returns and gives Sammy the wicket. It's a length ball outside off and Sanga doesn't lean into this cover drive. It's a regulation edge and an easy catch 106/31.5 he's whipped this straight to deep fine leg. Shehzad wasn't in any control of the stroke. Was caught on the hop as he tried to work this behind square, the ball flew off the blade to the man in the deep. 7/18.1 that's the end of Maqsood show. He was trying to hit every single delivery, ends up slicing this to long-off. Stepped out to go straight over the bowler's head but didn't get underneath the flight, went through with the stroke only to find the big hands of Jordan. 54/2Extras11 (lb 8, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL152/3 (19.1 Overs, RR: 7.93)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Ahmed Shehzad, 1.5 ov), 2-54 (Sohaib Maqsood, 8.1 ov), 3-106 (Kumar Sangakkara, 14.5 ov)
