Bryant finishes the game in style! Another banged in short pitched ball on the stumps, Bryant opens the face of the bat and slaps it with the sweet part of the bat over widish mid-on area, races away to the ropes, struck three consecutive boundaries and completed the run chase!

So this is how the points table now stands. Thank you for tuning in. Please join us again the day after tomorrow, on May 7th, at the same time, for the match between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators. Until then, I'm signing off on behalf of Shakeel, myself, and the ESPNcricinfo staff. Oyasumi!
Player of the Match is Ahmed Daniyal for his incredible effort with the ball and three catches.
11:03 pm Both captains wanted to bat first and believed it was a decent batting surface, but at the end of the match, I believe Babar will be satisfied with bowling first here. Mitch Owen started the innings with the evident intention of finishing the game as fast as possible, but he only managed to loft it high in the air in the first over. Following that, Shai Hope dropped a sitter for Saim Ayub at short third. After that early life, Saim Ayub scored a magnificent 49-run knock. Multan Sultans dropped a few catches and missed a few runout opportunities, but the total runs on the board were insufficient for the bowlers to defend as the surface improved in the second innings. It will be a huge lift for the Zalmi as both Saim Ayub and Max Bryant began scoring runs, with the latter hitting 38 runs off 20 balls. Multan Sultans' disappointments continue. Shahid Aziz and Mohammad Hasnain bowled efficiently, with Aziz taking two wickets.
Attiya: "@zain....the blazing era rightnow mostly belongs to leagues. Icc events still are saved by anchors "
Dude: "I get that Multan's bowling has been tight tonight, but why Zalmi isn't taking any chance to finish it sooner. They are way behind the NRR, they should have attempted to make that better today. Disappointed approach in my opinion. "
Abdul Samad: "@Zain, just a few days ago Virat Kohli stated the importance of an anchor and to play according to the innings, Babar's approach in the last 2 innings surely got them the win, today his failure also got them the win. Clearly, if he stays at the crease sensibly, he can cement his place in the lineup"

Zain: "Oh c'mon now @Abdul Samad. The Era of anchors is surely over! Theys used to be useful when par score used to be 150-160ish. 200 is a par score now in t20s and you need gun blazers from both ends to win the games."
