- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 OUT! It came back in with the arm. Goes flatter this time and targets the middle stump. Rizwan goes on the backfoot and misses it. Arafat and Sultans go up in unison and umpires agree. That's seems to be pretty much in front. Rizwan reviews it after a brief conversation with Ghulam. But, he has to walk back. Three reds. Big, big wicket for Sultans! 48/22.3 Stumps shattered, what a sight for the bowler! Through the gate from over the wicket! Neither too short, nor too full, comes back sharply and beats his ambitious swing as he targeted midwicket and got beaten comprehensively. Crucial breakthrough for Multan! Absolutely magnificent 15/19.3 Holes out to square leg! It has happened again! A six followed by a wicket. Faisal Akram had a rough outing last night but he is having a great time tonight. Takes pace off the ball and bowls it into the stump. Ghulam gets down on his knee to hit is over square leg but is caught by Arafat. That's a big wicket for Sultans! 79/47.3 OUT!!! Being brave has paid dividends for Faisal. He continued to flight the ball and this was on pretty much similar length but pitched outside off. Fazal goes for a wild heave but is caught off an edge on short third man. 66/311.6 Bamboozled him! This was a beautifully disguised googly and its slower pace dragged Mitchell into a frontfoot push. The ball ballooned to the bowler who made no mistake to catch it cleanly. 94/514.5 Nawaz is absolutely pumped up, takes a terrific catch charging in from deep midwicket! Was a shorter pace-off delivery on middle, he had to generate all the power and lifted it but no real oomph behind the shot, lovely running and diving catch! A timely scalp for Multan! Dangerous batter gone, got a blazing start but unable to capatilize on it 127/615.2 Looped up on a length and looks pinned in fromt, plumb lbw and umpire has no hesitation to raise his finger but Rishad also looks convinced and has immediately sent it upstairs, looks very adjacent. He missed the sweep by a mile. Hits him high on the thigh and the ball was spinning away from middle, did it do too much? Gap between bat and bowl says third umpire, no connection. Pitches in line, impact in line and crashing onto middle so no confusion whatsoever, a straightforward decision for the umpires and Pindiz innings continue to peter out. Not looking good as they have squandered the opportunity to tee off after a stable platform to spring from 128/717.3 Fuller and wider of off, couldn't get fully under it and doesn't have the power to clear the rope, taken at long-on. Spinners have been very impressive, bolwed with a big heart, not easy to bowl at death but they have delivered the goods 151/8Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL182/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Did not bat: Mohammad AmirFall of wickets: 1-15 (Yasir Khan, 2.3 ov), 2-48 (Mohammad Rizwan, 5.2 ov), 3-66 (Abdullah Fazal, 7.3 ov), 4-79 (Kamran Ghulam, 9.3 ov), 5-94 (Daryl Mitchell, 11.6 ov), 6-127 (Dian Forrester, 14.5 ov), 7-128 (Rishad Hossain, 15.2 ov), 8-151 (Asif Afridi, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.1 BOWLED HIM That reversed and hit the base of his off stump. Farhan was unable to get his bat down in time. 139/31.3 Cries of catch it and TAKEN! good length and angled across off, plinks it across the line and it's a screamer by Fazal at deep square, it came to him in the blink of an eye and he held onto it brilliantly, massive breakthrough! Big dent in Multan's batting arsenal 12/111.1 And the left-armer makes his experience count. Rolls his finger and bowls it outside his hitting arc. He may have expected him to go for a slog after how the indulged in an exchange in the powerplay. Can this dismissal turnaround Rawalpindiz fortunes? 122/2Extras4 (lb 4)TOTAL186/3 (16.2 Overs, RR: 11.38)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Steven Smith, 1.3 ov), 2-122 (Josh Philippe, 11.1 ov), 3-139 (Sahibzada Farhan, 13.1 ov)
