Chasing a target of 205 runs, the Multan Sultans got off to a promising start courtesy of Mohammad Rizwan and Reeza Hendricks, guiding their team to 34/0 in four overs.
However, fortunes shifted as Hendricks departed in the fifth over, thanks to exceptional bowling from Mehran Mumtaz. The momentum took a hit when Mohammad Rizwan fell in the eighth over with the score at 51/2.
All hopes were pinned on Dawid Malan to anchor the innings for the Sultans, but he couldn’t live up to expectations, falling victim to an outstanding catch by Asif Ali.
In the 12th over’s second ball, Jamal delivered a full-length delivery that Malan dispatched powerfully towards deep square leg.
CATCH OF THE DAY!!!
