PSL Highlights 2024 Islamabad United vs Multan Sultan
The fixture began with Islamabad United losing both their explosive openers in a quick period after scoring single-digit scores. As the team was pushed into the backfoot, Agha Salman and Jordon Cox came to the rescue and stitched a good 68-run partnership for the third wicket. However, Multan Sultan was quick to respond and picked the wicket of Jordon Cox, who looked dangerous after scoring 41 runs in 28 deliveries.
The opening was made and Multan doubled down on their wickets column as they subsequently removed Azam Khan, Imad Wasim and skipper Shabad Khan. Agha Salman, who held the other end too got dismissed soon after he scored his half-century. Once Salman was dismissed, it was then just a matter of time for Multan to wrap up the innings by removing the tailenders.
In 20 overs, Islamabad United could only score 144 runs in the loss of 10 wickets. For Multan, Mohammad Ali and Abbas Ali remained the pick of the bowlers as they scalped three wickets each.
Multan Sultan, too, suffered a loss early on in their innings, in the form of batter Dawid Malan, who was dismissed for a duck by Naseen Shah. However, Mohammad Rizwan and Reeza Hendricks joined the forces to take their side to a decent score. The two added 71 runs to the total before the dismissal of Rizwan, who was batting at 43 runs.
Later on in the innings, Islamabad United also managed to get rid of Reeza Hendricks at a score of 125 runs. With both set batters out, Multan Sultan went in a shell against Islamabad United’s bowling lineup. The opposition kept on building pressure and took the game deep to the extent that Multan required one run from two balls.
Eventually, it was Multan Sultan, who registered a win by 5 wickets, their second straight in the ongoing season of the PSL 2024.
