That's all from this game. Thank you for your company and see you soon. Goodnight and take care!

Faisal Akram, Player of the Match: I would like to thank the management for entrusting me and showing faith in my abilities. I wanted to stick to my basics and bowl deliveries on which I have more control. Tried to stem the run-flow where needed and looked for wickets according to the match situation

Mohammad Rizwan, Rawalpindiz Captain: Conditions will change and our planning will change, and hopefully our luck changes (in Karachi). Important to keep a balanced side and the toss hasn't been on our side, that has affected results too.

Ashton Turner, Multan Sultans Captain: We are having fun, a lot of smiles in our dressing room. Whilst we strive for a perfect game, we know there is a little bit we can improve. They were really tough wickets to bowl; first half done, important to take learnings forward. We have the luxury of bowling options and we want to have a wrist spinner in our ranks; conditions will dictate, might not bowl them as much… we know they are match-winners and they are going to be an important part going forward. (On Sahibzada Farhan): He is a beautiful player, he is well supported, got world-class players at the top of the order.

Multan Sultans' juggernaut keeps rolling on. Ashton Turner called the shots well and galvanized the team into action with some solid and gritty batting. He would dearly wish to continue this momentum in the Karachi leg of the tournament. Beautiful pictures as the Australian contingent catches up as I type. This was a smooth chase with no flutters. Farhan is having the time of his life with the bat both in domestic and international cricket, Philippe was phenomenal and then Masood, alongside captain Turner, made sure they didn't stutter. Not much for the bowlers to be content with -- only Asif Afridi kept it under 10 among the bolwers who bowled the full quota while the rest leaked plenty. Rawalpindi remain in 7th spot while Multan firm their grip on the top. Earlier, Rawalpindi recovered from a collapse and mustered a fighting total but it was not enough on a flat wicket and Multan's spinners were right on top of their game. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation

Adnan: "Shan Masood looks very promising and could be a good option for Pakistan's middle order. His technique and temperament are strong, which can bring much-needed stability to the middle order."

Muhammad: "everything has gone wrong for Pindiz in the PSL, They look undercooked, players coordination is lacking, they have lost 2 bowlers to injury, batting lacks spark and intent, thats what happens when you register yourself in the last day. "

Mohd Irshad: "What happened to Amir this season, going for plenty"

Forrester to Turner, SIX, Back of a length and outside off with no pace to cause any problem, stands tall and uncoils a high and handsome shot over deep midwicket, clears the fence with tremendous ease and Multan continue their dominance. They stay true to their reputation and have always been a top-performing side in this league. Rawalpindiz are struggling big time in their debut season and Rizwan will have to think hard to come up with better strategies and go back to the drawing board to find ways to get over the line
