Player of the Match: Imad Wasim’s outstanding performance

Today’s chase proved disastrous for Quetta as they suffered yet another collapse within the first six overs. Key batters like Jason Roy, Saud Shakeel, Rilee Rossouw and Khawaja Nafay failed to even reach double digits. Imad’s exceptional spell of 3/12 during the powerplay earned him the Player of the Match award, while Naseem Shah‘s contribution with figures of 2/33 played a vital role in Islamabad United’s victory.

Quetta’ mistakes and Islamabad’s triumph

Quetta’s woes were compounded by their own mistakes, as they suffered two unnecessary runouts of Nafay and Evans just when they were building momentum. Omair Yousuf emerged as the top scorer for the Quetta with a composed 50 off 37 balls, supported by valuable cameos from Ho?sein (31) and Amir (23) down the order. However, despite their efforts, losing half of their side during the powerplay proved too much to overcome, ultimately resulting in their defeat.

In a high-octane Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 encounter at the National Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday, March 12, a fiery exchange unfolded between Quetta Gladiators‘ batter Jason Roy and Multan Sultans‘ all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed. The incident took place during Quetta’s chase of Multan’s formidable target of 186 runs.

Explosive start derails by David willey

The Quetta’ pursuit of the humongous target set by Multan commenced on a promising note, thanks to the explosive start by the openers Saud Shakeel and Roy. The duo set the stage ablaze in the initial two overs, amassing 18 runs without loss. However, the equilibrium was disrupted when David Willey, representing Mul?tan, claimed the prized wicket of Roy in the third ove?r.

Heated verbal exchange mars Quetta-Multan clash in PSL 2024

Willey’s delivery, a crafty length ball swinging towards the middle stump, eluded Roy’s bat and struck him squarely on the pad, resulting in an emphatic LBW decision by the umpire. As Willey exuberantly celebrated the dismissal, Roy, contemplating whether to opt for the Decision Review System (DRS), was met with unsavory words from Iftikhar during Multan’s celebratory huddle.

Jason Roy vs Iftikhar Ahmed

What ensued was a heated exchange between the English batter and the Pakistani all-rounder, causing a commotion on the field. Multan’s captain, Mohammad Rizwan, swiftly intervened, attempting to diffuse the escalating tension and guide Roy away from the confrontation. Meanwhile, other teammates sought to calm Iftikhar. Amidst this tumult, the critical DRS window for Roy’s LBW decision expired, leaving him unable to challenge the umpire’s call. Ultimately, Roy, having scored just three runs, had to make his way back to the pavilion.

Quetta Gladiators’ struggle

The setback proved detrimental to Quetta as their batting lineup struggled against the opposition’s bowling prowess and was ultimately bundled out for a mere 106 runs in 15.5 overs, losing the contest by 80 runs. Omair Yousuf displayed resilience, contributing 37 runs and offering a semblance of resistance, while Khawaja Nafay‘s 16 off 14 balls was the second-highest score for the Gladiators.

Multan Sultans’ dominance

Earlier, opting to bat first, the Multan skipper, Rizwan, led from the front with an exemplary innings, contributing 69 runs off 47 deliveries. Rizwan’s calculated and commanding approach anchored the innings, providing a solid foundation for the team.

Johnson Charles, not to be outdone, played a scintillating knock. His blistering innings of 53 runs off 29 deliveries included a display of power-hitting and skill, putting the Quetta’s bowlers on the back foot. As the innings progressed, Iftikhar delivered a brilliant cameo towards the end, adding valuable runs to the total. His impactful 20 runs off eight deliveries injected momentum into the Multan’s innings, ensuring a challenging target for the opposition.
