Rvel Zahid: Multan coast home with five wickets and 23 balls to spare. In the end, a very comprehensive victory from Multan. Qalandars were outclassed in all departments of the game. How fitting to see Afridi hit the winning stroke but the groundwork was done by Shan Masood and Rilee Rossouw who made sure there were no major hiccups and they never allowed the equation to get out of hand. Higher expectations were associated with Qalandars' pace battery featuring the likes of Shaheen and Rauf, who represent Pakistan at the national level. The strike bowlers didn't have enough runs to defend and the freedom to go with an all-out-attack approach

Afridi finishes it off in typical swashbuckling fashion! Plays a lovely upper cut off the backfoot and clears the field.

Worked away to deep fine-leg for a single. Multan need one run to win.

15.5 - H Rauf to S Afridi
A touch shorter, pace off the ball, keeps it well out of his reach and Afridi was looking for some pace on the ball, it wasn't on offer, beaten by the brilliant change-up delivery

Another sloppy bit of work from Dilbar in the deep. It was a regulation flick of the wrists from Afridi but Dilbar has somehow managed to miss it. Single turned into a boundary.

Length ball, outside off, squeezes it away to the off side

Good comeback from the bowler, dug in short. Afridi went for the pull and skied it a million miles to deep mid-wicket fielder, who puts it down.

Vintage Shahid Afridi! What a way to put the bowler under pressure. Goes deep inside the crease and helps the ball on its way over deep square leg.
