Lahore Qalandars flex PSL title-contender muscles to end Multan Sultans winning streak

 Lahore Qalandars 182 for 4 (Fakhar 60, Hafeez 43) beat Multan Sultans 130 full scale (Zaman Khan 3-21) by 52 runs

It took seven matches and two scenes to arrive, however Multan Sultans have at long last lost a game. It came against the home top picks Lahore Qalandars in an amazingly clinical execution from Shaheen Afridi's side, who, in the wake of posting 182, saw off the reigning champs by 52 runs effortlessly.

In what was a collaboration by Qalandars' bowlers, Sultans were denied the capacity to get off to the quick beginning they depend on such a huge amount for their predominance. They oversaw only 38 in the initial six overs and, as the asking rate climbed, Rashid Khan tore open the game with wickets off progressive balls. Standard wickets proceeded to fall, and keeping in mind that Sultans, Khushdil Shah specifically, kept on going hard at the objective, Mohammad Rizwan's side fell some way short.

Rulers, who had effectively equipped for the knockouts, picked to pursue winning the throw in spite of late achievement protecting scores. Anwar Ali got Abdullah Shafique in the first finished, yet it was Fakhar Zaman Sultans expected to stress over. In a to some degree dreary bowling show in the powerplay, Qalandars were permitted to heap on the runs, taking out delinquent conveyances as they went. Favoring Muzarabani, Sultans' saint 24 hours prior, couldn't exactly track down a similar precision here, either at the top or tail of the innings, winding up yielding 48 in his four.

Fakhar's 37-ball 60 to the side, it didn't appear as though Sultans were falling excessively far behind in the game. Imran Tahir and Khushdil kept Qalandars legitimate with turn through the center, while Abbas Afridi was thrilling with his varieties. By the 14-over mark, Qalandars had only 107 on the board, and with Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Ghulam battling for energy, Rizwan's men apparently had practically nothing to stress over.

Yet, 76 off the last six overs, supported by not exactly precise demise bowling, helped the home side wrap up with an overwhelming 182. In a season where the pendulum of force has moved significantly from the chasers to the safeguards, Sultans required a lively beginning. In any case, it was one they were determinedly denied, with Afridi and Haris Rauf keeping things tight with the new ball. Afridi got the enormous wicket of Shan Masood with a wonderful offcutter, while Rashid and David Wiese kept the hitters calm.

The Afghan legspinner tidied up Rizwan for a 27-ball 20 which had been a battle all through, yet it was Rilee Rossouw's wicket that got Qalandars accepting. He was caught in front off a compliment ball, with the umpire's choice maintained on survey, and with the asking rate having taken off over 11, Sultans had lost a vital resource in their pursuit. Sohaib Maqsood and Tim David were helpful for a couple of limits to a great extent, yet they fell in sequential overs, and Sultans unexpectedly started to blur.

Certainty siphoning through their veins, and floated on by the greatest horde of the competition, Qalandars tore through Multan's lower request. They were looking to post two further focuses on the board, yet say something each side in the association would be compelled to notice. Rauf disposed of Khushdil, who addressed the last glint of Sultan's expectation before Afridi tidied up Muzarabani. It was passed on to arising player Zaman Khan to get the last wicket in a challenge from which Qalandars have irrefutably arisen as one of the certified title competitors this season.
