Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars, 12th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

The Sultans have an extraordinary record playing at home and they’ve started their 2025 home-leg on a winning note. They get on the board after three consecutive losses. This game will serve as a bit of a reminder that they are no pushovers. That’s all we’ve got for you today, take care and goodbye.

Yasir Khan | Player of the Match: Have been working hard for this day, our team needed this kind of innings. Happy to contribute. There’s a lot of hard work and practice behind this. That’s why I didn’t face any issue. This is how I play my shots, I know my power, I can hit it straight and over midwicket. Wanted to back my strengths. Had been waiting for my opportunity.

Mohammad Rizwan: The smile is back. We had not fielded well in the last three games. Our bowlers executed well today. We carried the momentum well today. Usman Khan was instrumental in creating that momentum for us. Our bowlers have been inexperienced since the last season, I’d like to talk to them and that’s why I’ve been fielding instead of keeping.

Shaheen Afridi: The conditions were tough. The bowlers tried different things but the ball was coming on nicely. Our plan was to try Mitchell as he will have to bowl in the coming games and give as much opportunity to everyone as possible. Rishad is bowling well, he's picking up wickets, unfortunately the pitch was not helpful today and as the tournament goes on, he will be effective. The tournament has just started and there is a long way to go.

23:48 Local Time, 18:48 GMT, 00:18 IST: An outstanding win for the Multan Sultans this, it will give them a lot of confidence going forward. They outplayed the opposition in all three departments. They made the most of opting to bat first on an excellent batting-friendly surface and posted a mammoth 228. In pursuit, the Qalandars couldn’t quite get the explosive start they needed. Fakhar Zaman teed off but he couldn’t build on his start. They kept losing wickets throughout and couldn’t really keep up with the steep asking rate. Billings, who got a life early in the form of a missed run-out, battled hard but couldn’t carry on. Raza batted well for his fifty and struck some lusty blows but they all came a little too late. Ubaid Shah was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets. Bracewell and Usama Mir picked up a couple as well.
