Multan Sultans vs Lahore Qalandars Highlights, PSL 2025 Match 16: MS vs LQ Live Updates - Lahore Qalandars won by 5 wickets

Qalandars Clinch Victory Over Multan by 5 Wickets in a Thrilling Chase

Lahore Qalandars pulled off a thrilling 5-wicket win over Multan, chasing down a stiff target of 186 with an over to spare, thanks to the brilliance of Daryl Mitchell and Sikandar Raza.

Chasing 186, the Qalandars got off to a decent start but faced some hiccups after losing quick wickets around the halfway mark. Abdullah Shafique's aggressive cameo (34 off 25) set the tone, but it was the duo of Daryl Mitchell and Sikandar Raza who turned the game in Lahore's favor with a composed yet explosive partnership.

Mitchell was the architect of the chase, crafting a stylish 64 off 38 balls, laced with 4 fours and 4 towering sixes. He combined smart strike rotation with breathtaking shots under pressure. Raza, meanwhile, displayed his mastery as a finisher, smashing an unbeaten 40 off 21 balls (2 fours, 4 sixes), timing his acceleration perfectly in the final stages.

Despite a late strike from Akif Javed - who dismissed Mitchell with a clever pace-off delivery - Lahore's victory was never truly in doubt once the pair got going. Raza fittingly sealed the win with a calm single behind point.

Earlier, Multan's bowlers had their moments, especially young Ubaid Shah who impressed with figures of 4-0-34-2. However, the attack lacked consistency, leaking boundaries at crucial times. Josh Little (4-0-43-1) and Akif Javed (4-0-44-1) failed to contain the set batters when it mattered most, and once again questions will be raised about Multan's death bowling frailties.
