Quetta Gladiators Smash Multan Sultans in PSL 10 Thriller
In a stunning display of cricketing dominance, Quetta Gladiators utterly demolished Multan Sultans by 10 wickets in the 18th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10. This wasn't just a victory; it was a complete rout, rewriting PSL history books in the process.
Multan's Historic Collapse: A Record Low
Multan Sultans crumbled under the pressure of Quetta's relentless bowling attack, posting their lowest-ever PSL total of a paltry 89 runs in 17 overs. This catastrophic batting performance was spearheaded by Khurram Shahzad's exceptional bowling figures of 4/23. His early wickets of Yasir Khan and Usman Khan set the tone, followed by the dismissals of Kamran Ghulam and Curtis Campher, leaving Multan reeling at 20/4. While Mohammad Rizwan fought valiantly with an unbeaten 44, he received little support, leaving Multan's batting line-up looking utterly dispirited.
Quetta's Record-Breaking Chase: Fastest Ever!
Facing a minuscule target of 90, Quetta's openers, Saud Shakeel and Finn Allen, launched a breathtaking assault. Their unbeaten 90-run partnership, achieved in a mere 6.5 overs (41 balls), set a new PSL record for the fastest successful chase while batting second. Allen's explosive 45* (21 balls, 5 sixes, 2 fours) and Shakeel's brisk 42* (20 balls, 4 sixes, 3 fours) showcased their power-hitting prowess, leaving the Multan bowlers utterly helpless.
Impact on the PSL Standings and What's Next
This resounding victory catapulted Quetta Gladiators to second place in the PSL 10 points table, significantly boosting their playoff hopes. Multan Sultans, on the other hand, remain at the bottom, facing a monumental task to claw their way back into contention. The contrasting performances highlighted the gulf in class between the two teams on the day. For Multan, the focus shifts to their upcoming matches against Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi – must-win encounters to revive their flagging playoff hopes. Quetta, brimming with confidence, will look to continue their winning streak.
