MS 7/0 (1)

Multan Sultan are in heaps of trouble as they lost their top-order within the powerplay.

MS 55/5 (8)

Multan Sultan are reeling at 88/6 in just 12 overs with Mohammad Nawaz being the last batter to depart for 18 off 19 balls. Mohammad Imran Randhawa and Shan Masood are in the middle and have the onus to stitch a partnership to take MS to a competitive total.

MS 86/6 (12)

Kingsmen bowlers have weaved a dangerous web over the Sultans' batting line-up and it's very difficult for them to get out of it as they are seven down and still have five overs to go. Shan Masood needs to play till the end, if MS want to reach to a respectable total.

MS 103/7 (15)

Shan Masood brings up his half-century in just 36 balls and what a valiant knock it has been. He has been the lone wolf for Multan Sultans taking them to 135 in 18 overs from 93/7. The 150-run mark is looking well beyond reach now for MS.

MS 159/9 (20)

Marnus Labuschagne and Maaz Sadaqat walk out to bat for the Kingsmen and Mohammad Imran Randhawa takes the new ball for the Sultans. Sadaqat comes charging down first ball, and gets enough bat on it to send it to the covers boundary. Labuschagne joins the party with a four through point as 11 runs come off the first over.

HYDK: 11/0 (1)

Maaz Sadaqat is on a rampage at the Gaddafi Stadium smashing bowlers to all parts of the ground for fun. The young southpaw batter has raced to 26 runs off just 8 balls. He's well complemented by Usman Khan, who's batting on 26 off 18 balls.

HYDK 67/1 (6)

Usman Khan takes down Mohammad Nawaz for runs including three fours and sixes. He brings up his fifty in just 29 balls including eight fours and one six. Usman Khan and Maaz Sadaqat have taken down MS bowlers to all parts of the ground to make short work of the chase.

HYDK 106/1 (10)

HYDK 144/2 (14)

Faisal Akram bowls one down the line and it runs away for a boundary taking Hyderabad Kingsmen over the line. Maaz Sadaqat remain unbeaten on 64 off 33 balls till the end to guide his team home. Hyderabad will now face Islamabad United in Eliminator 2, whereas Multan are officially out of the tournament.
