Commentary

That brings us to the end of our coverage from this PSL encounter. Up until the next time, this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator Darpan Tikiya.

Shadab Khan (Islamabad United captain): First of all thanks to almighty, on paper our team still looked great but you have to perform on the field. Everyone is executing whatever role they have been given so far. We wanted to bowl as there would have been dew. The way our fast bowlers came back in the last five six overs and restricted them to below 170 was great execution. In T20 cricket, all-rounders are valuable assets. It helps a lot when you have players who can contribute and win matches whenever they are in form in either department. We were trying to take the game deep in the first innings.

Andries Gous is the Player of the Match, here is what he had to say: Yeah it's a big relief to be honest. Wasn't sure when the next run would come. Thanks to the team for backing me. Yeah it was a bit slow when it started but once the dew came in, it came on nicely. As the partnership went on, it kept getting easier. I had a chat with the coach and said that this is the brand of cricket I want to play and they backed me. See the wicket from behind the stumps from the start did help.

Mohammad Rizwan (Multan Sultans captain): "We were 15-20 runs short. Initially the ball was stopping on the wicket. We thought 180 was a good score. Later on, it became better to bat on. Our powerplay bowling needs to be better. We have depth in batting. But look how they executed their plans and kept up tied down. Yes, we have been loosing, but the atmosphere in the dressing room is pretty good. When we became champions, it was the same pattern. We lost the first three matches, won the fourth and lost the fifth game. But that is now in the past. We need to play some good cricket to bounce back."

11:24 PM local time (11:54 PM IST): Islamabad United won by 7 wickets (with 17 deliveries to spare)

Andries Gous 80(45) | Mohammad Nawaz 1/13(2)
Usman Khan 61(40) | Chris Jordan 1/24(2)

That turned out to be an emphatic victory for Islamabad United with five wins from as many games and there has been no team so far in the tournament that has managed to challenge Islamabad. This is also the highest successful run chase in Multan in PSL history.

Islamabad rested a few players but it didn't matter much as Andries Gous played a stunning knock to take the side over the finish line. Sahibzada Farhan again provided a blistering start with three fours and a six as the powerplay began perfectly for them. Ubaid Shah bowled a splendid opening over and sent back Sahibzada Farhan back in the hut.

However the pair of Andries Gous and Colin Munro continued the charge in the powerplay with both finding boundaries on a consistent basis. They ended up scoring 69 runs in the powerplay which laid the foundation for the run chase. The 81 run partnership eventually came to an end in the 11th over when Munro slogged one straight down the throat of the long-on fielder.

Mohammad Nawaz came out next and chipped in with a fine hand. Gous continued his great work and runs kept coming thick and fast. They slowed down a bit towards the end but the required was under six so there was no problem whatsoever. Gous struck a muscular pull over midwicket to eventually finish it off for the Islamabad United with 17 deliveries to spare.

17.1 Ubaid Shah to Andries Gous, PULLED FOR FOUR! Islamabad United keep their winning streak alive. It is now 10 matches long. Short ball from Ubaid, did not climb onto the batter. Gous stood tall and swatted it scornfully into the gap between long-on and deep midwicket. With that, United also register their first ever win in Multan.

That's the end of a successful over from Chris Jordan but that is unlikely to make an impact to eventual outcome of the game. Just one hit away from winning it.

Ubaid Shah [3-0-25-1] comes on to bowl his final over.

16.6 Chris Jordan to Mohammad Nawaz, WAFT AND MISS? Well, Sultans believe that Nawaz has got a tickle on this. They use DRS. The appeal was anything but convincing, it was more of a polite enquiry. Fuller side of good length, slanting across to outside off. Nawaz backed away and swung his bat had. UltraEdge shows a spike. Nawaz has to go.

16.5 Chris Jordan to Mohammad Nawaz, good length, fourth peg line, 134.7kph. Nawaz opens his shoulders and drags it to deep midwicket in agricultural fashion. Gets a double.

16.4 Chris Jordan to Andries Gous, good length, fourth-fifth stump line. 135kph. Mistimed backfoot punch to backward point.

16.3 Chris Jordan to Mohammad Nawaz, LANDS THE YORKER! Not exactly in the block hole, but not too far from it either. Nawaz plunges the bat down and manages a single as the ball trickles down to mid-off.

16.3 Chris Jordan to Mohammad Nawaz, OH DEAR! Nawaz shuffled to the off side, setting himself up for the scoop shot. Jordan went wider to take it out of his reach. In that, he might have even missed the cut strip. They are going to go through the replays to check where it landed. And TV umpire confirms, it is a no-ball. Free hit to follow.

16.2 Chris Jordan to Andries Gous, shorter length. Gous stands tall to ride the bounce before pulling it to deep midwicket for one.

16.1 Chris Jordan to Andries Gous, over the wicket, LOFTED....SIX! WHAT A STRIKE! Full ball, tailing in towards the middle and leg. Gous shuffled to the on side and unfurled a sumptuous elevated off drive to send the ball flying over long-off.
