LAHORE: Multan Sultans captain Mohammad Rizwan has highlighted the team’s shortcomings after they were eliminated from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10.
Chasing a daunting 205-run target, Multan Sultans crumbled under the pressure and were bowled out for a mere 117 in 16.1 overs in the 20th match of PSL 10 here at Gaddafi Stadium.
The Sultans’ seventh loss in the season also ended their hopes of qualifying for the Playoffs.
While speaking during the post-match press conference, Rizwan reflected on the side’s struggles throughout the tournament, their misreading of conditions.
“We picked our squad based on the conditions,” he explained. “But unfortunately, the conditions didn’t go in our favour.”
Mohammad Rizwan revealed that when they arrived at Gaddafi Stadium, they found more grass on the pitch than expected, which disrupted their plans.
“We’re not the only ones — other teams have also struggled here,” he added.
Despite the setbacks, Rizwan made it clear he wasn’t offering excuses.
“I don’t want to make any excuse for the defeat. We played badly and we’re out of the tournament today,” he said.
Despite the setback, Mohammad Rizwan remains optimistic that the two remaining matches could help the team regain some pride.
“We still have two games to correct our mistakes,” Rizwan remarked.
Rizwan also stressed his belief in earning victories through performance alone.
“I like to win on the strength of our own game. Depending on others doesn’t feel right,” he said.
Reflecting on Multan Sultans’ journey in PSL 10, he reminded reporters that the same core team had performed consistently well over the last four seasons.
“Everyone knows what we’ve gone through this season,” he said, hinting at internal challenges. Our fielding hasn’t been good throughout the tournament,” he admitted.
