5 Apr
Summary
- Multan Sultans regained the top position on the PSL 2026 points table.
- Steve Smith achieved his first half-century in the Pakistan Super League.
- The team secured their third win by defeating Quetta Gladiators.
Multan Sultans have ascended to the pinnacle of the PSL 2026 points table following a decisive six-wicket triumph against Quetta Gladiators. This victory marks the Sultans' third win of the ongoing season.
Under the astute leadership of Ashton Turner, the Sultans effectively constrained the Gladiators to a total of 166 runs. Turner's strategic bowling rotations, particularly his trust in spin bowlers who conceded only 60 runs in 11 overs, proved instrumental in limiting the opposition.
In response, Multan Sultans commenced their chase with remarkable aggression. Sahibzada Farhan provided a fiery start with a 32-run contribution off 14 balls. Steve Smith then etched his name in PSL history with his inaugural half-century, scoring 53 runs from 35 deliveries, ensuring his team reached the target comfortably with 15 balls remaining.
