PSL 2024: Top run-getters and wicket-takers after Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United (Updated) ft. Reeza Hendricks and David Willey

The fifth match of the ongoing edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) took place between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan. It was a delightful moment for the Sultans as they registered their second consecutive win of the season on February 20.

After opting to bowl first, the Sultans removed the openers of Islamabad United in the first few overs. Then followed a sparkling partnership between Agha Salman and Jordan Cox as they added 68 runs together. But once the third wicket stand was broken, Islamabad couldn't recover as they were bundled out for just 144 runs.

Mohammad Ali was the best bowler for Multan Sultans picking up three wickets for 19 runs while Abbas Afridi also scalped three wickets for 33 runs. Salman was brilliant for Islamabad smashing 52 runs while Cox mustered 41.

In response, Multan Sultans lost Dawid Malan for a second-ball duck with Naseem Shah shattering his defence. But skipper Mohammad Rizwan scored 43 runs while Reeza Hendricks also hung around in the middle after struggling early on.

Their partnership set the platform for the chase with the latter slamming a vital half-century. Though they lasted a couple of quick wickets, the Sultans got over the line with more than an over and five wickets in hand.
