End of over. Over 20. 11 runs. Bowler: Hassan Khan. Multan Sultans: 159/9(rr 7.95)

Two runs. APPEAL! Hassan Khan to Shan Masood. Stock ball full toss, down leg side down the track Slog, mis-timed to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Niazi, by Khan, appeal made for Run Out. That will be the end of the first innings, as Multan Sultans recover from a disastrous start to post a total of 159. Shan Masood played a brilliant knock, crafting a fluent 69 off 46 balls with a mix of boundaries and well-timed sixes, anchoring the innings after his side had early wickets. The rest of the batting lineup struggled to build partnerships, as dismissals of Steve Smith, Sahibzada Farhan, and Josh Philippe left them reeling at 52-5. Brief resistance came from Mohammad Nawaz, who added 18, but regular breakthroughs from Mohammad Ali, Akif Javed, and Hunain Shah ensured the Sultans never found momentum. The Sultans will need their bowlers to deliver early strikes to keep themselves in the contest. Join us back in a while for the run chase.
