While all others failed to deliver the goods, skipper Shadab Khan played was the pick of the batters as he amassed 91 off 42 balls including 5 fours and 9 sixes. Meanwhile, Multan Sultans skipper, Mohammad Rizwan witnessed a horrifying run-out and it became a talking point on social media. He was dismissed in a bizarre fashion during the penultimate ball of the fifth over.

It all started when Mohammad Wasim Jr bowled a full toss delivery to Shan Masood. The southpaw tried to nudge the ball down the ground. But, it ended up hitting the bowler’s hand in the first place. As it turned out, the ball just ricocheted off his hand and then went on to the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Meanwhile, Mohammad Rizwan was miles short of his crease.

Here is the video of the dismissal:
