Full commentary

11.40pm And with that defeat Multan Sultans have been knocked out of the tournament. Thanks for joining us, that's all from our side for this game.

Usman Shinwari is the Man of the Match.

Hani: "Karachi have that very annoying habit of prolonging easy chases into nailbiters, that is why they never had a surreal net run rate in any season."

Bilal Ahmed: "And with that match we will bid farewell to MS. See you next year Amigos"

Ali: "Pakistan has often destroyed pace bowlers by allowing them to play all formats and they play all the series which causes fitness issues to them. Abbas is a good bowler . Let him play test cricket!"

Syed Mohsin: "Although Abbas is special in term of line & length but when you are up against Indian top 3, English dragons or Gayle you must posses variations and/or pace. Amir, Hasan, Shaheen, Faheem are a notch up on pace, have good variations, have experience of bowling in death and pressure situations which Abbas currently don't have. "

Bilal Ahmed: "@Khairullah I agree to some extent but he hasn't been given that many matches and when provided the opportunity, I'm sure he will deliver. As far as basics are concerned, nowadays every other bowler comes up with variations and not every game do they go back home with many wickets to their name, so why not have a bowler like Abbas in your team, someone who sticks to the basics .Let the others try the variations."
