Multan Sultans’ Innings: Usman Khan Shines Amidst Stuttering Finish

Multan Sultans began aggressively, with openers Yasir Khan and captain Mohammad Rizwan setting a solid foundation. Yasir attacked from the outset, racing to 29 off just 17 balls before falling to Mohammad Nawaz. Rizwan anchored the innings with a composed 36 off 36 deliveries, ensuring the scoreboard kept moving.

The middle order saw Usman Khan take center stage with a scintillating knock of 61 off 40 balls, including four boundaries and four sixes. His quickfire fifty (29 balls) threatened to propel Multan to a big total, but Islamabad’s bowlers struck back at crucial moments. A late flurry from Kamran Ghulam helped the Sultans post a competitive 168/5, though the total seemed slightly below par given the strong start.

Islamabad United’s Chase: Gous and Munro Seal the Deal

In response, Islamabad’s openers Sahibzada Farhan and Andries Gous launched a blistering assault, racing to 69/1 by the end of the powerplay. Farhan’s brief but explosive 22 off 13 balls set the tone before Colin Munro joined Gous to dismantle Multan’s bowling attack.

Munro played a typically aggressive innings, smashing 45 off 28 deliveries with five fours and two sixes, while Gous remained unstoppable at the other end. The South African wicketkeeper-batter was in sublime touch, finishing unbeaten on 80 off just 45 balls, decorated with six fours and five sixes. Despite a late dismissal of Mohammad Nawaz (21), the result was never in doubt as Islamabad cruised to victory in 17.1 overs.

Key Takeaways

  • Andries Gous was the standout performer, anchoring the chase with a match-winning 80*.
  • Usman Khan’s explosive 61 kept Multan in the game, but their bowlers failed to contain Islamabad’s firepower.
  • Islamabad’s top order proved too strong, maintaining their unbeaten streak with another clinical display.

With this win, Islamabad United solidify their position at the top of the table, while Multan Sultans will need to regroup quickly to stay in contention for the playoffs.
