Peshawar Zalmi wins toss against Multan Sultans in Pakistan Super League and decides to bowl first |
In the 16th match of PSL played at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore, Peshawar Zalmi won the toss against Multan and decided to bowl first.
Multan Sultans openers Shaun Masood and Mohammad Rizwan once again gave their team a good start and put up a 98-run partnership.
Sean maintained his excellent form and scored a half-century, but from the other end Muhammad Rizwan was seen struggling.
His 34-ball 34-run innings came to an end at the hands of Wahab Riaz.
Shaun teamed up with new batsman Tim David to take the score to 131 and at the same stage, after scoring 68 off 49 balls, gave the wicket to Salman Irshad.
Tim David once again batted aggressively and scored 34 off 18 balls with the help of 3 sixes and 2 fours while Riley Russo scored 15 runs.
Sultans scored 182 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in the stipulated overs.
Saqib Mahmood, Wahab Riaz and Salman Irshad took two wickets each for Peshawar Zalmai.
Chasing the target, Zalmai's innings did not start well and Kamran Akmal was bowled after scoring only four runs.
Zalmai had not yet recovered from the loss that Mazrabani led his team to another victory and also made Haider Ali move.
After losing two wickets for five runs, Shoaib Malik came to support Liam Livingston and both of them started advancing the score.
Both Livingston and Shoaib Malik got one chance each during this innings and the Sultans fielders could not catch their easy catches.
The score had reached 42 when Livingston's innings of 24 off 16 balls came to an end while Hussain Talat could also score only four runs.
Shoaib Malik teamed up with Sharfin Rutherford to add 40 runs and take the score to 91 but on the same score Mazharbani took the third wicket to move the West Indian batsman.
Zalmai's last hope of winning the match was dashed when Shoaib Malik became Imran Tahir's wicket after scoring 44 runs.
After that Ben Cutting made some big shots and scored 23 runs off 11 balls but his attempt did not help Zalmi.
Peshawar Zalmi's entire team was bowled out for 140 in the last over of the innings and the Sultans won the match by 42 runs.
