Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultans Highlights today. Pakistan Super League Qualifier, Thursday 14-3-2024. National Stadium, Karachi.
Match Summery
This is how it went all today, at the National Stadium, Karachi. Babar Azam who won the toss, decided to bat first, But! was that score enough? Hundred and forty six. In the post match presentation, he said “we were fifteen runs short”. That has been the dilemma with the teams that have actually not been able to post big score. Because there is always some runs short. Babar Azam they are playing 46 still producing runs, he still looking good except! Today was his lowest innings in this HBL PSL. Was there too much in the pitch? Tom Kohler-Cadmore there 24 of 24 was struggling. Mohammad Haris looked good but then, he was tested by Mohammad Ali and he gave his wicket. Luke Wood there 14 of seven deliveries.
Usama Mir fantastic again today two for sixteen in his four overs. This is the Usama Mir we all want to see bowling really tight lines and keeping the opposition under check. Chris Jordan there picking-up two has well done to him. Mohammad Ali again one for thirteen in his two overs. And Abbas Afridi one for twenty one in his two spells.
Multan Sultans in reply, finish-up very quickly, hundred and forty seven for three. And it was young man Yasir Khan, today was his opportunity to prove himself and boy!!! did he prove himself fifty four off thirty seven deliveries, hundred and forty five strike-rate that’s fantastic. The captain Mohammad Rizwan once again found to be a little tentative little slow little defensive. Usman Khan again thirty six off twenty eight deliveries and with another strike-rate off one twenty eight. and then what is it all down there at the bottom. It’s Iftikhar Ahmed, Ifti Mania still producing magic in the HBL PLS twenty two off eight deliveries. Two hundred and seventy five strike-rate well done to him.
Aamier Jamal there one for 23 in his three overs. He had an ordinary day at the office, no big celebrations for him today. But there was Mehran Mumtaz one for twenty eight from his full quota of overs today. Salman Irshad bowled three overs and leaked 28 runs with taking one wicket. It’s Multan Sultans that have won this Qualifier by seven wickets remaining.
