Commentary

So, that wraps it up. It was a tantalising match which had its ebbs and flows. In the end Rizwan's men came out on top. It has been a pleasure bringing you the ball by ball action. We try our best to paint the most vivid and accurate picture of the play with our words. I, Darpan Tikiya, along with my co-commentator Arya Sekhar Chakraborty wave you goodbye for now! Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more sporting action around the world.

Mohammad Rizwan, POTM and captain of Multan Sultans: We were not expecting as much seam as there was for the fast bowlers. There was something for the spinners too. Overall, it was a tough wicket but lord almighty was on my side. Maybe conditions changed a bit in the second innings. I consider Iftikhar amongst one of the best finishers in the world. Not too worried about catches being dropped. All teams are doing that.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, captain, Lahore Qalandars: I feel I should have taken that catch. Unfortunately, we couldn't execute our bowling plans towards the end. We still have seven games and will look to make a strong comeback. Yeah I think, we are clicking well but not executing in the field. We have dropped do many catches. Iftikhar and Khushdil are best finishers in Pakistan. They played very well and I am happy for them given they are Pakistani. We played good cricket but didn't grab our chances in the field.

Iftikhar Ahmed: Actually this is my role in the Pakistan team and I keep working on that. You don't get time in T20 cricket. I tried to hit boundaries right from ball one and targetted the short boundary. I was planning from outside that when Zaman will bowl I will go out. They are world class bowlers but we have the idea as we share the same dressing room. The way my role is in the team, I am living up to the expections but the team needs to keep on improving. We dropped many catches today again. We have to improve on this to be a champion side. The crowd always supports me. We don't want to disrupt our momentum.

Multan Sultans win by 5 wickets.

Mohammad Rizwan 82 (59) | Mohammad Ali 2/28
Rassie van der Dussen 54 (37) | Shaheen Shah Afridi 2/25

That makes it 3 loses in 3 matches for the defending champions. They had an underpar score on the board but were given a solid start by Zaman Khan and skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi. However, it was the Sultans' skipper who stood in their way.

Mohammad Rizwan exhibited all his experience to compile a well-paced knock of 82 (59). However, he got out before the last mile could be covered. For a brief moment, we all thought Lahore were back in it. But it took one bad over from Zaman Khan to undo it all.

Iftikhar Ahmed stole the limelight there with some crazy power hitting. He scored 34 off just 11 balls. And just like that Multan Sultans have completed 3 wins out of 3 matches. They are in a comfortable position on the points table but would need to work on their fielding. 4 dropped catches on another night can hurt you dearly.

HIGHEST SUCCESSFUL CHASE AT THE MULTAN CRICKET STADIUM IN PSL HISTORY!

18.6 Zaman Khan to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR! Iftikhar finishes it off in style. What a turnaround in that over. 25 runs coming off the last 5 deliveries. Zaman going for a short one around the off and middle, tried to cramp Iftikhar for space, moves his body away and carves it away down towards the vacant deep third man region. Multan Sultans win their 3rd match on the bounce.

18.5 Zaman Khan to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX! This is quite exceptional from Iftikhar. A low full toss from Zaman Khan, was in the slot and that has been hammered out of the ground, swiped across the line and goes well over the deep midwicket fence.

18.4 Zaman Khan to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX! That has been absolutely smoked from his presence by Iftikhar. Was a slower one in the slot, around the off-stump channel, Iftikhar moves across off and disdainfully swipes it away across the line, comfortably clears the deep midwicket fence.
