Multan’s Blistering Start in the Powerplay
Multan Sultans made a strong beginning after being asked to bat first. The opening duo of Mohammad Rizwan and Shai Hope scored 55 runs off the first five overs, laying the foundation for a massive total. While Rizwan dominated with forceful stroke play, Hope rotated the strike effectively before getting out to Hasan Ali for a mere 8 runs.
Middle Overs Partnership Keeps Momentum Going
Following Hope’s dismissal, Usman Khan came in to join Rizwan and contributed 27 runs, before being out for 19 off 15 balls. Kamran Ghulam then took over the reins, joining Rizwan in a 63-run partnership. Ghulam’s attacking knock of 36 off 19 balls, comprising 5 fours and a six, helped keep the scoring rate high. He was caught by Abbas Afridi in the 15th over.

Karachi Kings Bowlers Struggle
