Multan Sultans vs Rawalpindi clash in PSL 11 delivered an exciting contest as Multan secured a six-wicket win in the 31st match at Karachi’s National Bank Stadium on Tuesday. The chase was completed with eight balls to spare after a strong all-round team effort.

In the Multan Sultans vs Rawalpindi match, the Sultans successfully chased a target of 166 runs, finishing at 167 for 4. Despite an early setback with the loss of Sahibzada Farhan for 20 runs, the team quickly regained control of the game.

Earlier in the Multan Sultans vs Rawalpindi match, Rawalpindi posted 166/6 in their 20 overs. Mitchell top-scored with an unbeaten 58, supported by a quick 37-run cameo from Dian Forrester. However, their early batting collapse put them under pressure.
