PSL 2022: Multan Sultans qualify for final after vanquishing Lahore Qalandars 

Multan Sultans scored a victory over Lahore Qalandars by 28 runs on Wednesday and reached the finals of the seventh edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Earlier, Multan Sultans handed a 164-run target to Lahore Qalandars in the qualifier. 

Rilee Rossouw started for the Sultans with his blazing 65 runs as Lahore Qalandars applied early pressure after electing to bowl first. Lahore bowlers were right on the money as both — the pacer and spinners — kept things tight for the in-form Multan batters.

Shaheen gave the second over to off-spinner Mohammad Hafeez, and he just showed how good he is against the left-handed batters as he picked the in-form left-hander Shan Masood's wicket on the first ball.

Rizwan, just like the last game against United, played sensibly and according to the situation. He sustained the early pressure without taking a risk and rotated the strike.

Aamer Azmat scored 33 runs off 22 balls, while Rizwan scored 53 off 51 balls, and Rossuw was sensational as his 65 run inning off 42 balls with seven fours, and one six helped Multan reach 163.

In terms of bowling, Hafeez was sensational with the ball as he registered brilliant figures of 1-16 in four overs.

Lahore Qalandars had won the toss and elected to bowl first against Multan Sultans.
