The Multan Sultans continue to look like the team to beat in PSL 2026. In tonight’s Match 14 at the Gaddafi Stadium, they put on a masterclass in professional T20 cricket, dismantling the Rawalpindiz by 7 wickets. For the Pindiz, the search for a maiden win this season continues, while Multan fans are already dreaming of the playoffs. Here is a full breakdown of the action from a thrilling night in Lahore.
Multan Sultans’ captain won the toss and elected to bowl first. On a Gaddafi pitch that usually rewards chasing, the strategy was clear: restrict the Pindiz to a sub-par total and rely on their heavy-hitting top order to finish the job.
First Innings: Rawalpindiz Fail to Launch
The Rawalpindiz innings started with promise but lacked the late-inning fireworks needed to post a truly daunting score. They finished their 20 overs at 182/8.
Second Innings: The Sultans’ Batting Masterclass
If Rawalpindiz had any hopes of a defensive masterclass, the Sultans quickly snuffed them out. Multan reached the target of 186/3 in just 16.2 overs.
Looking ahead, the Multan Sultans appear virtually unstoppable as they head into the next phase of the competition with their eyes set firmly on a top-two finish. On the other hand, the Rawalpindiz face a steep uphill battle. With zero wins on the board, the team management will need to go back to the drawing board to address the lack of chemistry and finishing power that has plagued their campaign so far. As the PSL 2026 season heats up, tonight’s performance serves as a stark reminder of the gap between the league leaders and the rest of the pack.
