MULTAN: Multan Sultans captain Mohammad Rizwan expressed disappointment over poor execution in the loss to Peshawar Zalmi in the 25th match of the Pakistan Super League (10) here on Monday.
Peshawar Zalmi chased down the modest total of 109 in 13 overs, losing just three wickets in the process.
Saim Ayub starred with bat, scoring 49 off 33 balls, striking four fours and three sixes while Ahmed Daniyal bagged ‘Player of the Match’ award for his outstanding three wicket haul.
Earlier, Multan Sultans were bowled out for 108 in 19.1 overs in a poor batting display. The loss marked Multan Sultans’ eighth defeat of the season, with only one win out of nine matches.
While speaking during the post-match presentation, Mohammad Rizwan emphasized on pitch, pointing out that the pitch behaved differently in the second innings.
“The ball was coming onto the bat well in the first innings, but it started to behave a bit differently later on. In the second innings, they batted really well, and unfortunately, we failed to execute our plans,” he said.
He further emphasized the younger players, praising their performances while also highlighting the contributions of the players from last season.
“Shahid has bowled exceptionally well, and we also have Ubaid, who’s been doing a great job. The youngsters are performing really well—Ali Raza, for instance, has impressed.”
“Last season, we had top players like Mohammad Ali, but now they’re playing for different teams. The names in the squad don’t matter much; if you drop too many catches, it will cost you, Rizwan added.
At last, Mohammad Rizwan aimed to provide a performance that would once again fill Multan Cricket stadium.
“The Multan crowd supports good cricket, and I hope we can give them a performance that fills the stadium again,” Mohammad Rizwan concluded.
