That is the end of the match. Multan Sultans won by 6 runs. Khushdil, Willey and Tahir shared three wickets each. It was actually Willey over which turned the game back into Sultans way, defended 8 in the last over was not easy but he did it beautifully.

Willey to Naseem Shah, OUT

Hoho! What a dramatic finish of this game. Good length ball, on leg stump, Naseem goes for the big heave, connects it well and David at deep midwicket took the catch, went over the fence and flicked it back into the play and took it back. Superb fielding by David and took the match away from Quetta Gladiators. Tv umpire is checking that, soft signal was out and replay confirms that it was a clean catch
