Zalmi vs Sultans, 21st Match at Rawalpindi, PSL, Mar 05 2024 - Match Result

Been a run-fest! There couldn't have been a more fitting end than this. Half-volley on off, Iftikhar mows this downtown and clears long-off, Peshawar win by just four runs, second defeat for table-toppers Multan in PSL 9

Devilish yorker-length delivery following him as he backed away to the leg side, can only bonk that to Naveen at deep midwicket

Good length and pitching well outside off, thrashed over extra cover for a four, remarkable fight from Multan

Low-arm full-length delivery nipping in at middle, clouts it past square leg for a four

Holds his nerve and bowls a perfect yorker in the quiet zone around off-stump line, jams his bat down and can only sneak a run

Good length, slanting away wide of off, toe-ended back to the bowler and admonishes himself, how often Iftikhar finds himself in these situations?

Sprays a wide down the leg side, worst possible start to the over because it brings Iftikhar on strike, snuck a bye

It's not over yet! Manufactures pace for himself and deposits it over wide long-off for a six, misses the yorker by a mere whisker and gets clubbed for a six, Iftimania is adamant on getting his team over the line

Another pitch-perfect yorker on middle, can only force it down to long-on, he is one of the best bowlers at the death

Full again with not much room, mistimed to long-on

Low full-toss with width, plinked out past point for a four, don't bother running for that, fielder had no chance in the deep. Got down low and slammed the full toss for his desired outcome

Over the wicket again, wide yorker spot on target, toe-ended to the leg side behind square not where he intended to play

Superb inswinging wide yorker, he can only drag it back to Naveen

change of plans, no yorker on this occasion. Hurls a nasty short ball at middle, he swivels for a hook and gets hit on back of the helmet around the neck region and he isn't wearing the neck guard, looks a bit disoriented and is replenishing his fluids. Good to see him back on his feet, he is ready to go again - fighter at the core

imperious! pace-off shortish ball at middle, he slinks back and hoists him for a six over deep fine, coruscating strokeplay continues! game-on

Powered down the ground. Juicy half-volley in his hitting arc and he duly dispatches it over long-on for a six, crowd loved it, they are having a ball out there. This is clean striking!

Good length, nips in and thumps his pads, fails to pull

Saim drops a tough one at deep backward square, swooped to his right, got his hands on it but then it popped out. Was a shortish ball at middle, he went deep in his crease and slugged it out of middle, got a life, well on the second look, it wasn't that tough

Length ball outside off, weight is on back-foot and he crashes it downtown for a six over long-on

Low full-toss with room on offer outside off, slashed at it, away from his body, slashed over backward point for a one-bounce four. Solid hit
