\nPeshawar Zalmi chased a huge target of 194 and beat Multan Sultans by six wickets in the fifth fixture of Pakistan Super League\u2019s (PSL) sixth edition at the city\u2019s National Stadium.
\nAfter putting 193-4 on the board, thanks to James Vince\u2019s 84 and Mohammad Rizwan\u2019s 41, the Sultans felt confident that they had enough on an pitch that had been favouring bowlers.
\nOpeners Kamran Akmal (37) and Imam-ul-Haq (48) provided a solid foundation, upon which Tom Kohler-Cadmore (53) capitalised and, when in the end, some late hitting was needed, the young Haider Ali, chipped in with an unbeaten 24 off 8 to get his side over the line.
\nEarlier, Mohammad Rizwan and Chris Lynn opened the innings for the Multan franchise but Lynn got caught out by Haider Ali off Mohammad Irfan\u2019s ball in only the second over. Vince, who replaced Lynn at the pitch, hit a couple of fours, trying to drive up the score after a slow start.
\nJust as the Rizwan-Vince partnership started to look dangerous for Zalmi, Rizwan got out at 41, caught by Imamul Haq off Mohammad Imran\u2019s ball at the start of the 11th over.
\nThe Multan captain had made 71 runs in the last match.
\nWahab Riaz\u2019s over proved costly for Zalmi as Sohaib Maqsood hit three consecutive boundaries.
\nVince consolidated his position on the pitch, scoring a half-century off 39 balls \u2014 his third fifty in PSL. Despite brilliant batting, Vince was unable to reach a century, caught out at 84 in the 19th over.
\nMaqsood lost his wicket in the 17th over, caught out by Mohammad Kamran off Saqib Mahmood.
\nBoth teams entered the contest having lost their previous matches.
\nThe Sultans made two changes to their lineup with Usman Qadir coming in for Sohaibullah and Shahnawaz Dhani making his debut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
