Mohammad Rizwan says it was good to bat on but credits the way his bowlers played. Adds the players are executing the plan really well. Reckons all the players have a champion mindset but they keep on improving as well.
Usman Khan wins the Man of the Match. He says he was planning to take the game deep. Adds he played his shots and rotated the strike as well according to the conditions.
Shaheen Afridi thanks the crowd first for the support throughout. Admits today there was no effort from them in both departments. Reckons there are a couple of players injured and that is not helping them. Tells they will fight till the end.

In reply, Lahore Qalandars openers put 50 on the board but once Zaman fell, the gates opened up. Sultans spinners ran through Lahore and took wickets regularly. Faisal Akram took two wickets but Usama Mir was the star with the ball. He took 6 wickets. Someone had to play a big innings but none of their batters hung in there till the end. A pretty comfortable win for Multan Sultans.
A one-sided affair in the end! Lahore Qalandars just can't catch a break. They continue to wait for their first points. Multan Sultans made a great decision by batting first. Reeza Hendricks and Usama Mir batted well, Tahir and Iftikhar Ahmed played a brilliant cameo but the star of the show was Usman Khan who fell 4 short of his ton. He just kept the intent going and batted almost throughout.
