and there's the game, Rossouw pulling to deep midwicket to complete the chase
Sultans vs Gladiators, 8th Match at Sharjah, PSL, Feb 20 2019 - Match Result
Gladiators won by 8 wickets (with 9 balls remaining)
9.30pm Quetta Gladiators make it three in three, completing a simple chase. Watto's fifty up front set things up for them, Rossouw's in the middle finished it off. Both men started their innings slowly, got in, and then cut loose. Multan Sultan's bowling plans were clearly hampered by Ali Shafiq pulling up short and leaving the field with what appeared to be a hamstring injury, and despite a wicket Quetta were rarely under too much pressure. The two fifties in the chase meant that Shoaib Malik's own fifty earlier went in vain. That's all tonight, join us for Karachi Kings v Peshawar Zalmi at the same time tomorrow.
