The fifth game of the Pakistan Super League will be played on Friday (February 17) at the Multan Cricket Stadium between Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi.
Mohammad Rizwan’s Sultans began their campaign with a sad one-run loss against Shaheen Shah Afridi’s Lahore Qalandars. They staged a stunning comeback, however, defeating Sarfaraz Ahmed’s Quetta Gladiators by 70 runs on Wednesday (February 15).
Ihsanullah took five wickets and also delivered the fastest PSL spell in history, beating Haris Rauf’s record. The Sultans chased down the mark with 39 deliveries to spare after restricting their opponents to 110 in 18.5 overs.
Meanwhile, the Zalmi, captained by Babar Azam, started their season with a two-run victory over the Karachi Kings on Tuesday (February 14). The contest came down to the wire. Imad Wasim (80*) and Shoaib Malik (52) gave it their all to bring the Kings home, but they came just short.
Khurram Shahzad and Wahab Riaz kept their nerve in the final two overs to give the Zalmi their first season win. For his 92 off 50, Tom Kohler-Cadmore was named Player of the Match. Babar also excelled in his Zalmi debut, hitting 68 off 46 balls.
