In reply, Gladiators had little to show in their batting. Although Jason Roy provided a brisk start, the others failed to deal with the pressure well. Umar Akmal top-scored with 50, striking six sixes and a couple of boundaries in 23 deliveries.
Multan Sultans have also been the edition's best team, sitting pretty on top with eight wins in nine fixtures.
They look overwhelming favorites to lift the coveted trophy this year as well. Led by Rizwan, Multan Sultans captured their first title in 2021, beating Peshawar Zalmi in the final convincingly. The keeper-batter led the way with 500 runs in that season with an average of 45.45.
