Shahnawaz Dahani's took four wickets for Multan Sultans.

In chasing the target, the sultans' openers Mohammad Rizwan and Shan Masood found runs easily till Mohammad Irfan gave Zalmi a breakthrough.

Rizwan did not let that affect his batting and continued playing his game. And in the 10th over he reached his half-century to lead his team from the front in the run chase.

Five overs later sohaib maqsood also completed his half-century.

The rizwan and maqsood duo made a 116-run partnership before maqsood was caught by umaid asif when he tried to finish the match with a 6.

However, rizwan then hit a six on the very next ball to give his side an eight-wicket win over zalmi. He remained unbeaten on 82 and sultans won the match with 21 balls to spare.
