Sultans Reign Supreme: Multan Secure Convincing 6-Wicket Victory Over Gladiators in PSL 11

 

In the 13th match of PSL 2026 at Gaddafi Stadium, Multan Sultans asserted their dominance with a clinical 6-wicket win over Quetta Gladiators. After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the Sultans' bowling attack, led by the experienced Mohammad Nawaz and young Arafat Minhas, kept a tight lid on the Gladiators' scoring. Despite a resilient half-century from captain Saud Shakeel (56 off 41) and a late flourish from Bevon Jacobs (49* off 31), Quetta was restricted to a modest total of 166/7 in their allotted 20 overs.

The run-chase was spearheaded by an aggressive start from the Sultans' top order. Steve Smith looked in vintage touch, smashing 53 runs off 35 deliveries with seven boundaries and a six, while Shan Masood provided steady support with a brisk 46. Sahibzada Farhan also made a significant impact with a quickfire 32 off just 14 balls, ensuring that the required run rate remained well under control throughout the innings.

Multan reached the target with ease, finishing at 167/4 in just 17.3 overs, leaving 15 balls to spare. For Quetta, the bowling struggled to find breakthroughs against the set batters, with Hasan Nawaz being the pick of the bowlers taking 2 wickets for 17 runs. This victory solidifies Multan Sultans' position as one of the tournament favorites, while Quetta Gladiators will need to go back to the drawing board to revive their campaign.
