How Multan Sultans Built Their Mountainous Total
Multan Sultans came out swinging after being asked to bat. The tone was set early with 17 runs off Adam Milne’s opening over and 16 more off Mohammad Abbas Afridi’s fifth. Shai Hope’s early dismissal didn’t slow them down, as Rizwan and Usman Khan powered them to 63-1 by the end of the powerplay.
- Rizwan’s Masterclass: The Multan skipper played a captain’s knock, scoring an unbeaten 105 off 63 balls (9 fours, 5 sixes). His fifty came off 38 balls, and he reached his century in 61, becoming the first centurion of PSL X.
- Bracewell’s Blitz: Michael Bracewell’s unbeaten 44 off 17 balls (5 fours, 3 sixes) added late fireworks, with the duo smashing 74 runs in the final four overs.
- Key Partnerships: A 63-run stand between Rizwan and Kamran Ghulam (36 off 19) kept the momentum going before Bracewell’s arrival turned the heat up.
Despite Khushdil Shah’s tidy bowling (1-33), Multan’s total looked unbeatable. Or so we thought.
