- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.5 Undone in the flight! Dances down the track and throws the kitchen sink at it, ball spun away viciously and Sarfaraz Ahmed removed the bails in the blink of an eye! Abrar continues his stellar run in PSL 9 22/113.1 Plants his front leg and tries to break free, launches it up in the air but hasn't got all of it, Shakeel pouches it safely at deep midwicket, so just when he tried to tee off, he has lost his wicket. Crucial breakthrough. Couldn't get the requisite power behind and admonishes himself. 101/219.4 Miscued the skier! Slightly fuller and slanting across off, holy smokes, that sounded beautiful and went miles into the sky but just not enough distance, caught by Wasim at deep midwicket. Reeza Hendricks gone after regaling the crowd with some eye-catch strokes 178/319.5 Substitute keeper straight into the action as Iftikhar gets down low and swings hard at it but loses his shape. Amir flings it on a length and kept it away from his levers wide of off, fat top-edge and Sajjad settles under the skier and take a regulation catch. 178/4Extras7 (b 1, w 6)TOTAL180/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Usman Khan, 2.5 ov), 2-101 (Mohammad Rizwan, 13.1 ov), 3-178 (Reeza Hendricks, 19.4 ov), 4-178 (Iftikhar Ahmed, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.5 Crackerjack! What a tremendous riposte! This is any fast bowler's dream ball! Hits the hard length and gets it nip back, bowl pings the top-of-off and Roy has to go! He backed away a little and exposed all his stumps, trying to hoick it out of sight but got too far away from the line, Ali is deadly accurate and doesn't misses his target 16/15.4 Pulled in the air, hasn't got all of it. Short of a length, angling in and straightening down the line off, hasn't middled it and it goes straight into the hands of Usama Mir at mid-on who pouches it down his throat, making it look very easy. Willey is fired up! Mistimed shot, he was looking on song for a big knock but lost the plot 42/214.3 Mohammad Ali strikes! Shortish at a nagging off stump line, gets low and slices it in the air, Usman pouches the skier behind point and Quetta in a spot of bother, two wickets in a quick succession and they've given Multan another window of opportunity. Nafay tried to go hard at it but baffled by the slowness of the delivery 124/511.6 Plinks to Khushdil Shah at extra cover who pockets the catch low! Aftab break through, induces an error and ends the dangerous stand. He went hard at it but didn't quite get hold of it and Khushdil took a stunner! This is exactly what Multan needed. Rossouw got a bit carried away and didn't put a hefty price on his wicket. Multan have an opening! 104/312.4 Edged and snaffled by the keeper! Tossed up wide of off, sharp bounce and he feathers it to the keeper while trying to execute a late cut 107/416.3 David Willey takes a gem sprinting his left towards short midwicket and plucks it out of thin air! That was well-directed lifter growing big on him at a teasing off stump line, went for the pull but it's not controlled at all. Quetta staring into the abyss as the task becomes very daunting 134/616.6 Speared full and outside off, he charges down the track and the ball grazed the outside edge, Aftab at short third takes a regulation catch and Multan Sultans cluster together in joy. Wickets are tumbling and it's going from bad to worse, went too far down the leg side and then tries to reach for it, scratched the toe-end and the fielder was positioned strategically for that shot 136/718.3 Zingers are alight, continues to breathe fire! Zaman Khan and Mohammad Ali have shown exemplary display of yorkers in PSL 9, pinpoint accurate yorker tailing in and crashes at middle and leg stump, he tried to scoop it away but it was too good for thee 152/819.6 Abrar perishes! Through the gate from from over the wicket, exposed his stumps and he is bang on target, hits the bottom of off-stump and Multan have won comfortably in the end by 13 runs, sharp contrast in both teams' death bowling 167/9Extras8 (lb 3, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL167/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Jason Roy, 2.5 ov), 2-42 (Saud Shakeel, 5.4 ov), 3-104 (Rilee Rossouw, 11.6 ov), 4-107 (Sajjad Ali, 12.4 ov), 5-124 (Khawaja Nafay, 14.3 ov), 6-134 (Sherfane Rutherford, 16.3 ov), 7-136 (Mohammad Wasim, 16.6 ov), 8-152 (Mohammad Amir, 18.3 ov), 9-167 (Abrar Ahmed, 19.6 ov)
