Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars Highlights, PSL 2025 Match 12: Multan win by 33 runs

MS vs LQ Live Updates: Multan Finally Open Their Account with First Win of the Season

Multan Sultans have registered their first win of PSL 2025, holding their nerve to beat Lahore Qalandars by 33 runs.

Joshua Little closed out the match superbly, conceding just 4 runs in the final over and picking up the wicket of Haris Rauf. Despite Sikandar Raza's valiant 50* off 27 balls, the target of 229 proved too steep.

Earlier, Multan's explosive batting display gave them a massive cushion, and their bowlers, led by Ubaid Shah (3/37), ensured that Lahore never truly threatened. With this result, Multan are finally on the board this season.

Then in the 19th, despite losing Asif Afridi early, Raza exploded with a six and back-to-back fours - one of which was dropped at extra cover - collecting 16 crucial runs off David Willey.

With one over left, Lahore Qalandars still need a mountain to climb - 37 runs off 6 balls to chase down 229.
