Rilee Rossouw was the star of the day as Multan Sultans defeated Quetta Gladiators by 30 runs to maintain their position at the top of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 rankings on Saturday.

The Gladiators, who were chasing a respectable target of 200 runs set for them by the Sultans at the Multan Cricket Stadium, managed to bag 169 runs at the loss of seven wickets in their allotted 20 overs.

They lost despite a splendid 41-ball 80 by Shane Watson. He was helped by Jasoy Roy, who chipped in 30 runs from 27 balls.

Earlier, Multan Sultans had won the toss and chose to bat first.

They were 132-3 at the end of 15 overs but finished with an impressive score of 199-5 at the end of their innings, thanks to a magnificent 44-ball century by player of the match Rossouw.

James Vince and Zeeshan Ashraf opened the match for Sultans. The pair scored 23 runs in their partnership before Ashraf was caught at midwicket by Mohammad Nawaz on Naseem Shah’s ball.

He was replaced by MM Ali who could only score 6 runs before he was bowled out.

Gladiators Captain Sarfaraz Ahmed in pre-match comments said that he would have chosen to field first had they won the toss. He also revealed two changes in the player lineup; Ahsan Ali came in for Ahmed Shahzad and Anwar Ali replaced Tymal Mills.

Karachi Kings register important win against Islamabad United

RAWALPINDI: Karachi Kings got their Pakistan Super League 2020 campaign back on track with a resounding five-wicket win over Islamabad United at the Pindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi on Sunday.

This was Karachi’s second win in four games which now leaves them with four points.

Kings chased down 184 runs for a win in the penultimate over of the match, courtesy a match winning half-century by Alex Hales and 30s by Sharjeel Khan, Cameron Delport and captain Imad Wasim.

Kings chase got off to the worst possible start when the top-ranked T20I batsman Babar Azam was run out without facing a ball in the opening over, while attempting a quick single.

United captain Shadab Khan’s direct throw beat Babar at the batting end, which left Kings zero for one.

They were set back on track by a blazing 38 off 20 balls (three fours, four sixes) by Sharjeel, who added 58 runs for the second wicket with Alex Hales.

Hales hit three fours and as many sixes in his 52 that came off 30 balls.

Delport scored 38 off 28 balls (one four, three sixes) before becoming legendary fast bowler Dale Steyn’s first-ever HBL PSL wicket in what was his maiden appearance for United.

After Hales was dismissed by left-arm-spinner Ahmed Safi, Chadwick Walton 23 not out (17 balls, three fours) and captain Imad Wasim 32 not out (15 balls, two fours, two sixes) saw Kings home with eight balls to spare with an unbroken 48 run sixth wicket partnership.

Faheem Ashraf had a nightmarish match with the ball as he conceded 47 runs in 2.4 overs, with Imad setting the game by depositing him for back-to-back sixes in the 19th over and Walton hitting the match winning boundary of him a run later.

Earlier, Kings opted to field first after winning the toss.

United were well served by opener Luke Ronchi, who remained unbeaten with 85 off 58 balls with nine fours and two sixes.

Ronchi added 106 runs for the unbroken fourth wicket partnership with Shadab who stroked 54 off 31 balls with the help of four sixes and three fours.

Shadab joined Ronchi at the fall of Colin Ingram (16)’s wicket with United placed at 77 for three at the completion of 10 overs.

Shadab completed his half-century on the last ball of the United innings when he deposited Umaid Asif’s delivery into the stands.

For Kings left-arm-spinner Umer Khan, who dismissed Rizwan Hussain (22) was the pick of the bowlers with figures of one for 24 in four overs.

Scores in brief: Islamabad United 183 for 3, 20 overs (Luke Ronchi 85 not out, Shadab Khan 54 not out; Umer Khan 1-24, Imad Wasim 1-31).

Karachi Kings 187 for 5, 18.4 overs (Alex Hales 52, Sharjeel Khan 38, Cameron Delport 38; Ahmed Safi 1-21, Rumman Raees 1-27).

Result: Karachi Kings win by five wickets.
