- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.6 Biting legbreak on a length and spinning from middle, very close to the pad as he looked to flick. Muted appeal for an lbw, Mohammad Rizwan decides to send it upstairs in the dying moments of the DRS timer. Pitching in line, impact in line and hitting stumps, that is a superb review, we've hardly seen any succesful reviews this PSL but this time Rizwan has got that absolutely right. It's a massive wicket and a much-needed one for Multan Sultans. This delivery was a touch quicker and skidded on, he played across the line, missed out on a half-century by four runs. 84/114.2 Usama Mir has the last laugh! Zingers are alight. Bowls a magnificent leg-break right on cue, Babar wanted to heave him across the line eyeing the midwicket region but got bamboozled instead, can understand that shot, he wants to accelerate and target him but just played down the wrong line and didn't account for the spin, it was quicker too, subtle changes in speed helps him deceive the batters. 148/39.3 Miscued the skier! Shot was on. Darts this in on back of a length on middle and leg, he bludgeons it straight to Tayyab Tahir at deep midwicket, once again a restless innings from TKC, been a struggle, Usama puts him out of his misery. He was in superb nick in the recently concluded ILT20 but hasn't been firing on all cylinders in PSL 97/216.3 Wrecked the stumps! Went across his stumps, it was a back-of-a-hand delivery fired fuller and veered back at middle, he was away from the line and missed the reverse scoop, excellent bowling 166/418.4 That hung in the air for a while, was slowish short of a length ball just outside off-stump, he tries to go big downtown, that's wasn't connected off the middle and made a clanky sound, Yasir Khan the subtitle fielder hangs onto it brilliantly at long-on 186/5Extras12 (lb 2, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL204/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.2)Fall of wickets: 1-84 (Saim Ayub, 6.6 ov), 2-97 (Tom Kohler-Cadmore, 9.3 ov), 3-148 (Babar Azam, 14.2 ov), 4-166 (Haseebullah Khan, 16.3 ov), 5-186 (Asif Ali, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 Horrible mix-up! Tad short and slanting in at his body, nudged to silly mid-on, Jamal gathers the ball quickly and clatters the stumps at non-striker's end with a pinpoint accurate throw, single was never on and Rizwan is out of the picture. Jamal gets a massive breakthrough 51/24.4 Mehran is on fire, he looks hungry to grab the opportunity. Looped up on a length at middle and off, it held its line, he chips it back to Mehran and he takes a gem on his second attempt after his follow-through. He was playing against the turn and got troubled by his sleight of hand, Mehran is off to a terrific start, why did he get an opportunity so late? But better late than never 35/111.2 Gone! he has an airy waft at it and hasn't got all of it. Shortens his length at middle, he goes for a shovel off his hip and Asif Ali takes a breathtaking catch at deep backward square, that was destined to clear the ropes but Asif Ali gamely jumped and caught it out of thin air. Malan has to go. Stunning effort from Asif, he has improved leaps and bounds in his fielding, timed the jump to perfection! 86/311.6 A well-directed lifter at middle, he gets cramped for room but remains committed to the pull shot, Saim Ayub has got a safe pair of hands and he catches it like a bird catches its prey at deep square 91/415.2 Appeal for a caught behind. Slung full and tailing away from wide of off, entices the cut and there was a sound that elicited an appeal for caught behind, could be the sound of bat hitting the turf. Review has been taken. Naveen and Haseebullah looked convinced. There is a massive spike when the ball passes the bat so after taking his time third umpire conveys to the on-field to change his decision, excellent review! 125/5Extras17 (b 4, lb 4, w 9)TOTAL200/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10)Fall of wickets: 1-35 (Reeza Hendricks, 4.4 ov), 2-51 (Mohammad Rizwan, 7.1 ov), 3-86 (Dawid Malan, 11.2 ov), 4-91 (Tayyab Tahir, 11.6 ov), 5-125 (Khushdil Shah, 15.2 ov)
