In an exciting match, Peshawar Zalmi defeats Multan Sultans by a slim margin.

Scoreboard

In the Pakistan Super League's ninth season, Peshawar Zalmi defeated Multan Sultans, the league's top team, by a slim margin of four runs (PSL).

The match was played at the Pindi Cricket Stadium, where Zalmi held the Sultans to 200/5 and successfully defended the target of 205.

The Multan Sultans launched an aggressive pursuit of the target, with Muhammad Rizwan spearheading the attack from the outset. But Zalmi turned the tide, especially with PSL rookie Mehran Mumtaz's economical bowling.

Even though Rizwan scored 32 runs off of 24 balls, Aamer Jamal's run-out stopped the Sultans' momentum.

When Dawid Malan and Tayyab Tahir were at the wicket, the Sultans' innings slowed down in the middle. Malan scored 19 runs off of 19 balls before being dismissed by a spectacular catch performed by Asif Ali. In just 18 balls, Tayyab Tahir added 26 runs.

With an incredible strike rate of 222.22 and an undefeated 60 runs off 27 balls, Iftikhar Ahmed gave the chase much-needed momentum. Chris Jordan also contributed quickly with 30 runs off 12 balls. Their efforts, though, were only four runs shy of the total.

After choosing to bat first, Peshawar Zalmi amassed a commanding 204/5 in the 20 overs that were allowed to them. The opening pair of Babar and Saim, who combined for an amazing 84 runs, laid a strong platform.

Saim scored 46 off of 22 deliveries, narrowly missing a half-century. Playing an important part, Babar Azam carried the bat until the fifteenth over, scoring an incredible fifty-four runs off forty balls. Zalmi reached a competitive total because to the unbeaten cameo of Rovman Powell (23 runs) and the partnership of Babar and Haseebullah Khan (31 runs). Usama Mir, who finished with figures of 3/32, spearheaded the Multan Sultans' bowling attack.

Ihsanullah's inaccurate elbow diagnosis is noted by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is furious over how board members have handled the injury of young fast bowler Ihsanullah. Ihsan, 21, made a big impression with his pace in the Pakistan Super League last year. He then took part in two ODIs at home against New Zealand and three T20 matches against Afghanistan in Sharjah. But after the series against New Zealand, he suffered an elbow injury that kept him out of action for the Asia Cup and World Cup. Unfortunately for the youngster, his recovery has not yet been complete due to a misdiagnosis of his condition and a botched operation in Lahore. A top physician on the board's medical panel made the first diagnosis, according to a Press Trust of India article. As a result, time was lost trying to heal the patient without surgery. Following a failed surgery at a private hospital in Lahore, medical professionals at his PSL team, Multan Sultan, determined he needed to see a specialist in the UK. The PCB has n...

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...
