However both the batsmen kept their calm and never panicked. They just focused on rotating their strike. In the 14th over Rizwan reached his half-century off 45 deliveries by clipping a single off Mir Hamza. The single also brought out the pair’s 100-run partnership. However it didn’t last long as in the very next delivery, Shan Massod lost his wicket as he went for a big shot only to get caught at cover boundary. He was dismissed after scoring 45 off 41 balls.

With the required run rate close to 14, Rizwan changed the gear as he smashed four boundaries in the very next over. He continued his assault but it was cut short soon as he was caught at cover boundary for 76. Multan still needed 37 off the last three overs. Tim David scored a couple of sixes but was dismissed in the 18th over. Kushdil Shah then joined Rilee Rossouw and with 29 runs needed from 12 balls, just when it looked like the game was tilted in favour of Karachi, Kushdil smashed 19 runs off the next over bowled by Chris Jordan that included two sixes and a four. With 9 required off the last over, Rilee Rossouw sealed the deal with a huge six to help Multan win their seventh game of the season.
