Multan Sultans win the first point of PSL 2025
Ubaid Shah made a lasting impression in Tuesday night’s clash, delivering a match-defining spell that helped seal a 33-run win for Multan Sultans over Lahore Qalandars in Multan. The young pacer picked up three key wickets while conceding just 37 runs.
Earlier in the evening, Multan’s batters set the tone with an imposing total of 229, laying down a massive challenge for the visitors. Lahore got off to a flying start, smashing 38 runs in the opening four overs, but their momentum was cut short when Mohammad Naeem was dismissed. Fakhar Zaman kept the tempo high with a blistering 32 off just 14 balls, but his departure proved to be a turning point.
A brief 36-run stand between Abdullah Shafique and Daryl Mitchell offered some stability, yet Multan’s bowlers kept chipping away. The pressure mounted as Lahore stumbled to 87 for 4.
Trying to revive the chase, Sam Billings and Sikandar Raza launched a counterattack. Billings smashed 43 from just 23 deliveries, peppered with four sixes and a pair of boundaries, while Raza followed up with a rapid-fire 50 off 27 balls. Despite their efforts, the required rate kept climbing, and once Billings was dismissed—thanks to Ubaid’s fiery spell—the Qalandars’ hopes dimmed. Raza’s valiant knock wasn’t enough, as Lahore finished their innings at 195 for 9, falling short by 34 runs.
