Comprehensive win for Lahore Qalandars, who are through to the playoffs, yet again. They have beaten the Multan Sultans by 21 runs. Rashid keeps getting better and better with each passing game, he delivered another sensational spell (3/15) and made sure Multan don't sniff back in the game, wickets kept coming at regular intervals and the likes of Rossouw, Pollard, and Miller all struggled against the quality bowling attack. Shaheen and Rauf did what they do best, nailed the yorkers and stymied the run-flow at the death but it was Rashid who strangled them in the middle overs and as a result of this win Qalandars have now bagged 12 points and only suffered one defeat thus far in PSL 8. Multan Sultans are in a strong position too with 8 points and they have still got three games to play. Thanks for joining us and I'll see you tomorrow for the Quetta Gladiators versus Islamabad United game. Goodbye and goodnight!

Afeef: "Pollard also completed 12000 T20Hammad: "Pollard completed 12k runs and 800 sixes.." runs, only the 3rd player to do so"

Hammad: "Pollard completed 12k runs and 800 sixes.."

Afeef: "I don't think Kohli could've chased 76 off the last 5 overs today at this ground against this attack... "

shariq: "@malikmurad rasid khan is consistent at leagues, no performances at intl level against top teams"

Shar: "the decision to send Usama Mir backfired"

Aman: "@Rvel, not everyone is of Kohli's ability who can play Rauf and Shaheen comfortably" Kohli is an aberration ofcourse

Amnah: "Multan Sultan were not in the right frame from the beginning, too many extras, too many misfields, sluggish approach while chasing, lack of intent'" Good points

Malik Murad: "Is there any other player better than Rashid Khan who is more consistent at the league and international levels? I don't think so. "

Talat to Abbas Afridi, FOUR runs

Goes full and straight, he gets behind the line and pummels it down the ground for a boundary as Lahore Qalandars overpower Multan Sultans by 21 runs and have qualified for a spot in the playoffs. Their bowling attack is such a well-oiled machine that keeps getting the job done for them

Talat to Pollard, OUT

Coudn't get underneath on this occasion, it was in his swinging arc, pitched up outside off, picked it across the line and gets holed out to Rashid at deep midwicket

Talat to Pollard, SIX runs

Smoked it! Pollard hits 800th six in hisT20 career, this was effortlessly tonked over square leg

Shorter length, angled across off stump, can't connect

Talat to Pollard, 1 wide

Hurls down a shorter delivery and he can't lay his bat on it

Talat to Pollard, FOUR runs

This is bread and butter for Pollard, a dibbly dobbly half-tracker on off and he thumps it merrily towards midwicket fence

19.1

Talat to Pollard, SIX runs

Takes the aerial route again, gives him enough length to use his long levers and he wallops this over deep midwicket for a flat six!

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Anwar Ali, 1 run

Ugly hoick across the line, he stays back in his crease, trying to hook the ball, gets the splice and it lands short of long-off

18.3

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Pollard, 1 run

Banged into the pitch around middle and off, he belts it acros the line into the acreage at cow corner and even a batter of Pollard quality can't do much against the likes of SHaheen and Haris

18.2
Shaheen Shah Afridi to Pollard, no run

That's a terrific slower one to hoodwink Pollard who was too early into the pull shot and missed it completely

18.1

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Anwar Ali, 1 run

Pounds it straight down the ground, full at the stumps and he just drove clean through the line, but didn't get the meaty part and it holds up in the surface

Nicely placed, much needed boundary to break the shackles, slower one on a shorter length, sits up nicely for him to extend his levers and knock it over square leg boundary
