It was perhaps the most low-key day in the HBL PSL ever as both of the contests proved to be one-sided. Multan Sultans rolled over the last year’s finalists Quetta Gladiators while the reigning champions thumped Lahore Qalandars for easy victories.
Match 13: Quetta Gladiators vs Multan Sultans
Toss: Multan Sultans, elected to bowl.
Quetta Gladiators Innings
Quetta Gladiators batting looked in disarray as none of the batsmen managed to get going except Sarfaraz Ahmed, who couldn’t find the timing he would have liked, crumbling to 102 all out in just 15.4 overs.
Multan Sultans bowling attack proved to be a little too tough for the batsmen as Sohail Tanvir (3), Imran Tahir (3) and Junaid Khan (2) destroyed Sarfaraz XI. Imran Tahir became the third bowler to claim a hattrick in PSL.
