United vs Sultans, 29th Match at Lahore, PSL, Feb 20 2022 - Match Result
Sultans won by 6 wickets (with 16 balls remaining)
Imran Tahir has become the fastest to 450 wickets in T20s (354 matches), going past Dwayne Bravo's 411
Islamabad will be relieved that they had done enough to keep the NRR high and bowled the first four overs to ensure Quetta's exit. Their batting needs soul searching and, hopefully, some of their gun players to return from injury. But what matters now is that the Points Table has the top four teams with a Q next to their names. Lahore should be able to end in the top two even if they lose heavily. The details on that will come in tomorrow. Do join us then, you can catch all the action here on ESPNCricinfo as Lahore take on Peshawar. For now, I'm Ekanth, signing off on behalf of our scorer, Ranjith. Stay safe and take care.
Asif Ali, Islamabad Captain says a couple of foreign players will complete their quarantine and will be in time for the playoffs. And says Shadab will hopefully return too.
Imran Tahir is the Player of the Match for his figures of 4-0-8-2
Multan, the defending champions, have now won nine of their ten league games, the most in a PSL season ever.
10:45 pm: Multan wobbled a bit but Rizwan kept the chase steady. Dawson was exceptional in the powerplay and the other spinners looked threatening but did not pick wickets. That meant that Rizwan along with support from David Willey, who came in to rest Rilee Rossouw's who was struck on the thumb, took the team home.
Wide on a Length. Punched to mid off
Uzair: "Rizwan deserves a fifty!"
Length ball on the body, Willey goes through with the pull over deep mid wicket and clears the fence. 100 up and scores are level
Length ball on the stumps, defended back to the bowler
Length cutter on the chest, came down and pulled to deep square leg who ran to his left but spilt it. de Lange looked to have started celebrating but changed to disappointment
Length on the pads, goes across and tries to sweep it. Looks like he missed it and it went to long leg. Islamabad review Fair ball, no edge. Pitched outside off, impact in line, wicket umpire's call. Closer than it looks but it's not out and the review is retained
Ali Raza: "Why go big on a track like this facing 3 spinners when singles will do. Obviously the morale gets higher if you win before playoffs.Rizwan doing those singles in style..." Yeah, it looks like he's gone from very easy to very difficult in a video game setting from last game to this
Pulls a length ball on the hips to bring up 50 partnership
Good length on the pads, deflects off the flap to the right of the keeper
Length on the pads, tucked square and they scamper two more

Full on the pads, turned to square leg
Length outside off, punched to long off
Length outside off, pushed to long off
Full outside off, guided to short third man very late
Shortish and wide, cut to deep point
Rizwan has handheld this innings out to a safe stroll. He doesn't look to be in the mood for even a semblance of a risk
Full cutter on the stumps, defends with a slightly open faced bat and it goes to deep cover
Back of a good length on the stumps, turned to mid wicket
