Onecricket

Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators will be up against each other in the 25th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022, scheduled on February 18 at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.


With the tournament advancing towards the knockout stage soon, exciting days are ahead as the teams will only mean business from hereon. Talking about today's afternoon clash, the game holds much more importance for Quetta than Multan as the latter has already qualified for the playoffs, while the former's fate hangs in balance.


Led by Mohammad Rizwan, Multan Sultans have managed to conquer seven opponents in eight matches and are currently enjoying their stay at the topmost position on the points table. The side has already made it through to the next leg of the ongoing season, even though their two matches in the league stage remain.


Multans' pulled off a great comeback in their last encounter to add the seventh win to their kitty. The side restricted Karachi Kings to 174 runs and then chased the total in the last over, courtesy of a well-balanced effort from their batting unit.


On the other hand, Quetta Gladiators have had a topsy-turvy campaign so far. While the Gladiators look invincible when on song, their subpar performance in most of the matches has placed them at the fifth spot with mere three wins in eight matches.


Lacklustre show by Quetta's bowlers has been the pivotal reason behind their worry. Batters too have disappointed in the last two matches, to say the least. With the playoffs' spot on the line, skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed would be hoping for improvement from his teammates.

WATCH | Wasim Akram’s heated discussion with Karachi Kings' skipper Babar Azam

As Karachi Kings ended on the losing side in the match against Multan Sultans on Wednesday again, it came as their eighth defeat on the trot. Led by Babar Azam, the Kings recorded a decent enough performance with the bat, registering a total of 174 runs on the scoreboard. Things were panning in their favour in the field till the 18th over of the second innings but the tide turned against them in the closing moments of the game. Khushdil Shah smoked quite a few boundaries in the penultimate over as Chris Jordan was taken to the cleaners. A huge 20-run over meant that Multan Sultans required just nine runs in six deliveries to win the match. Umaid Asif was given the job to restrict the Sultans from scoring the remaining runs. In between the final over, cameras panned over Karachi Kings skipper Babar Azam and mentor Wasim Akram as the duo seemed to be having a heated discussion. Akram, who was standing near the boundary line, shared some advice with Babar and was visibly upset because of what transpired in Jordan's over. Asif failed to defend nine runs as Karachi lost their eighth consecutive game in the ongoing season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Amidst the growing views of the viral video, Akram issued a clarification related to the incident on his official Twitter account. "Hello ! Surprised to see reactions on my talking to Babar at the boundary last night. What I was saying was ‘why our bowlers are not bowling yorkers or slower ones offside off’.nothing else . Babar is a wonderful boy and has tried his best. And what he wants for dinner," read Wasim’s tweet. The Kings are still searching for the first win in the tournament and currently lie at the bottom of the points table.
