Multan Sultans defeated Lahore Qalandars by 84 runs at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday during the Qualifier of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season eight.

Multan have booked their spot in the final of the PSL 8 for the third consecutive year. Chasing 161 runs, Lahore were rolled over for 76 runs in 14.3 overs.

Sheldon Cottrell was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3-20 in three overs. Multan scored 160-5 in their allotted 20 overs.

Multan made a decent start in the powerplay with 46 runs on the board without losing a wicket. Lahore got their first breakthrough in the eight over after Haris Rauf cleaned up Usman Khan, who scored 29 runs in 28 balls.

Zaman Khan bagged the prized scalp of Rilee Rossouw after he tried to smack a slower ball over long on but was caught by Rauf.

Rashid Khan dismissed Mohammad Rizwan after the latter missed a googly while trying to play a heave towards the leg-side. Lahore’s good bowling, coupled with lack of intent from the Multan batters, ensured that the middle-overs belonged to the fielding side.

However, Lahore fluffed some chances in the death overs which allowed Kieron Pollard to take the attack to the bowling side.

Tim David remained unbeaten on 22 runs in 15 balls. Rauf was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3-34 in four overs, while Zaman and Rashid bagged one wicket each. The winner will face Lahore on Friday.
