OUT! Caught. Muhammad Wasim to Ubaid Shah. Length ball, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, outside edge, caught by Mendis. That's the end of the first innings as Multan Sultans have been bundled out for just 89, with three overs left unused, Muhammad Rizwan left stranded on 44. A superb new ball spell from Khuram Shahzad ripped through the top order, taking four wickets inside his opening two overs and from there, Multan never recovered. Muhammad Wasim and Faheem Ashraf took two wickets apiece as regular wickets continued to fall, Usama Mir with 11 the only other batter to reach double figures. Will the Quetta Gladiators complete a formality of a chase? Or can the Sultans bowlers fight back? We shall find out shortly.
