Quetta Gladiators were put under the pump right from the word go. Earlier, they struggled in their batting as well and posted a low total of just 110 runs. Their batters failed and so did their bowlers in the second innings. They just managed to get one wicket of Shan Masood at the very start and that was it.
Quite an easy win for Multan. It was never in doubt after their bowlers kept Quetta for a very low score. They lost a wicket early but Rizwan and Rilee put a match-winning stand. Rilee was the aggressor and Rizwan played second fiddle. Overall, Multan were just too good for Quetta. Multan Sultans were excellent with the ball earlier in the innings, as they managed to bundle Quetta Gladiators at just 110 runs.

Time-Out! Multan Sultans have been excellent with the bat and it has been Rilee Rossouw who ran havoc over the bowlers. They just need 20 runs now. Quetta Gladiators look in all sorts of trouble and it seems difficult for them to get back in the game from here on.
