De Villiers said he was happy for his team. “I am pleased for my team,” said Lahore skipper. “I took my time and Wiese took pressure off me and it was a nice partnership. We were under pressure after ten overs but we showed a great attitude.” Multan skipper Shoaib Malik said the match was a treat for a holiday crowd. The win lifted Lahore to third spot (four points with two wins in four games) in the six-team table topped by Quetta (six points in three matches). Peshawar Zalmi have four points in three matches (two wins and a loss) while Multan are fourth, Islamabad United fifth and Karachi Kings sixth.
Multan Sultans also batted ruthlessly to post the sixth 200 plus total in all PSL as Vince knocked a fiery 41-ball 84 with seven boundaries and six hits over the ropes. Debutant Umar Siddiq hit 38-ball 53 with two sixes and four boundaries to take their team to a commanding 200-6. Multan were without their popular allrounder Shahid Afridi who is nursing a knee injury while Lahore welcomed Nepal spinner Sandeep Lamichanne in their squad. Dan Christian hit two sixes and a boundary to score 10-ball 21 to give the impetus to the innings as Multan made 43 runs in the last five overs
