Lahore Qalandars vs Multan Sultans Highlights, 11th Match | Apr 03: Ashton Turner Fights Back, But Lahore Qalandars Hold Nerve for Big Win

LQ vs MS 11th PSL Match Highlights saw Lahore Qalandars secure a 20-run victory over Multan Sultans at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Posting 185/5 in a shortened 13-over contest, Qalandars defended effectively to restrict Sultans to 165/5, strengthening their position to second on the points table while Multan remained third.

Multan Sultans opted to field first, but the decision quickly came under pressure as Lahore Qalandars capitalized on a high-scoring surface. The opening pair set an aggressive tone, with Mohammad Naeem and Parvez Hossain Emon combining for a rapid start that yielded 86 runs in just over five overs. Emon’s explosive 45 off 19 balls complemented Naeem’s controlled aggression, allowing Qalandars to dominate the powerplay and push the scoring rate beyond 14 runs per over early on.

Even after the first breakthrough, the momentum barely dipped. Abdullah Shafique maintained the tempo with a brisk 33 off 14 deliveries, ensuring Lahore crossed 150 inside 10 overs. Despite a brief slowdown in the final phase due to wickets at regular intervals, contributions from Sikandar Raza and Asif Ali ensured a competitive total of 185/5, bolstered by 23 extras that added significant value.

In response, Multan Sultans struggled to establish early stability. Losing Steven Smith and Josh Philippe within the powerplay left them trailing behind the required rate. Sahibzada Farhan attempted to rebuild but fell after a modest contribution, leaving Shan Masood and Ashton Turner to revive the chase. Masood’s fluent 44 off 18 balls briefly shifted momentum, particularly during a 50-run stand with Turner.

However, disciplined bowling in the middle overs, especially from Mustafizur Rahman and Ubaid Shah, ensured Lahore maintained control. Turner’s unbeaten 52 off 22 balls kept Multan in contention, but the mounting required rate and lack of sustained partnerships proved decisive. Despite a late surge, the Sultans fell short by 20 runs, unable to match Lahore’s early acceleration.
