In the second innings, Mustafizur Rahman picked up a couple of wickets. Shaheen Afridi, Ubaid Shah, and Sikandar Raza were among the wickets as well.
Earlier, Multan Sultans won the toss and decided to bowl first.
Toss was delayed at Gadaffi Stadium with rain playing a spoil sport. It continues to rain in Lahore, and it could be a lengthy delay for fans awaiting action.
Lahore Qalandars will be looking to forget what happened in the previous game, as key players, including the likes of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Fakhar Zaman, were involved in a ball-tampering controversy. While the two bowlers have appeared to walk away scot-free, Zaman is set to miss two clashes, including the one against Multan Sultans.
On the other hand, the Multan-based franchise will be looking to claim the top spot in the points table after they were dethroned from it yesterday. A win against the defending champions will take them to the top of the points table.
Everything that could go wrong for Lahore Qalandars went wrong in their previous game against Karachi Kings. Entering the clash as favourites, the Qalandars lost to the Kings. However, it was not their defeat, but the involvement of key players like Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Fakhar Zaman in a ball-tampering controversy. The three players appeared to have changed the condition of the ball, which was then replaced by the on-field umpire before the 19th over. They were given a penalty of five runs, which proved to be the difference between a win and a loss. The Qalandars will now miss Fakhar Zaman for two games as the PCB punished him for his role in the controversy.
Multan Sultans, along with Karachi Kings, are one of the only two teams to have won both of their games so far in the Pakistan Super League. Led by Ashton Turner, the team boasts a strong batting line-up led by Sahibzada Farhan. Farhan is coming into this game after scoring a century against the Hyderabad Kingsmen in the previous game. It is the only triple-digit score so far in the tournament. His form at the top of the order will be key as the Sultans aim to keep the winning streak alive. He will face Shaheen Afridi with the new ball, which could be a spicy battle between the two Pakistani players.

Lahore Qalandars bounced back after an embarrassing defeat in their previous game against Karachi Kings. The Qalandars defeated Multan Sultans by 20 runs in this rain-curtailed clash.
Ashton Turner struck a few lusty blows in the 12th over but it remained too little too late for his team as Multan Sultans require 40 runs in six balls.
Mustafizur Rahman picked up his second wicket of the match. The Bangladeshi pacer dismissed Shan Masood in the 10th over. Meanwhile, Haris Rauf dropped a tough return catch on the second ball of the 11th over.
Haris Rauf gave away 14 runs in his first over coming into the attack in the ninth over. Multan Sultans’ skipper, Ashton Turner struck a six on the fourth ball of the over. Rauf bowled three wides in a nine-ball over.
In spite of scoring 13 runs in the eighth over from Mustafizur Rahman the required run rate for Multan Sultans has soared well above 20 runs per over.
Mustafizur Rahman struck in his first over to dismiss Sahibzada Farhan. The Bangladeshi pacer picked up the huge wicket of Farhan almost sealing the game for Qalandars.
Finally something to cheer about for the Multan Sultans as Sahibzada Farhan struck a couple of sixes. Shan Masood struck a four as Shaheen Afridi bowled out his quota of three overs but the Sultans need at least three boundaries every over.
The Multan Sultans continue to sink further in their chase of 186 runs. Ubaid Shah is bowling his second over, dismissing Josh Phillipe in the fourth over as the Lahore Qalandars tighten their grip over the match. The required run rate is now close to 18 for the Multan-based side.
Shaheen Afridi’s decision to give himself a second over has worked wonders for the Qalandars. The left-arm pacer dismissed Steve Smith on the fifth ball of the third over as the pressure on Multan Sultans continues to increase.
The Multan Sultans have not been able to pose any threat to the Lahore Qalandars. Chasing such a huge score, the Sultans are going at less than seven runs per over in the firrst two overs.
Multan Sultans, chasing a gigantic target of 186, scored seven runs in the first over. Steve Smith hit the first boundary of the innings as Shaheen Afridi took the new ball.
Despite a few quiet overs to end the first innings, Lahore Qalandars have posted a mammoth total of 185 runs in 13 overs. The defending champions would fancy their chances of defending this total in the second innings against Multan Sultans.
Peter Siddle proved why he is one of the best bowlers despite being 41 years old. The Australian pacer, bowling his third over, dismissed Rubin Hermann. In a game where runs have been scored at a rate of more than 14 RPO, his economy stands out. Siddle conceded only 26 runs in his three overs.
Mohammad Naeem completed his half-century in the 10th over in 24 balls. It was his fourth fifty in the PSL. He was dismissed on the final ball of the over after hitting another six in his innings.
Muhammad Ismail picked up his second wicket, dismissing Abdullah Shafique on the final ball of the ninth over. The right-arm pacer gave away 47 runs in his three overs. It was a decent comeback from the pacer after conceding 26 runs in his first over.
Arafat Minhas was the latest bowler to be smacked all around the park by Lahore Qalandars. The left-arm spinner bowling the seventh over gave away 26 runs as he bowled a couple of no-balls.
Finally, something to cheer about for the Multan Sultans fans. After conceding 86 runs in five overs, Muhammad Ismail broke the opening stand. The right-arm pacer struck on his first ball of his second over.
This is some hitting from the Qalandars. Faisal Akram, coming on to bowl the fifth over, was welcomed into the attack with three sixes from Parves Hossain.
No bowlers from the Multan Sultans have been allowed to bowl a second over. It looks like Ashton Turner would have to go back to Peter Siddle sooner rather than later.
There is no stopping Lahore Qalandars at the moment. After Mohammad Naeem got off to a brisk start, it is Parves Hossain who is sending the ball to the stands. The Bangladeshi batter struck a couple of sixes and a four in the fourth over.
It has been one-way traffic for the Qalandars when Peter Siddle is not bowling. The defending champions have scored 42 runs in two overs not bowled by Peter Siddle. Mohammad Wasim Jr. came on to bowl the third over and conceded 16 runs.
Peter Siddle brought in a sense of calm for the Qalandars in the second over. The veteran Australian pacer gave away only six runs in the second over after an expensive start from Ismail.
It is an incredible start for the Lahore Qalandars, who have been put in to bat by the Multan Sultans. Muhammad Ismail bowled a couple of wides, going for fours. Mohammad Naeem hit three boundaries in the over resulting in 26 runs being socred.

Heavy rain continues to pour at Gadaffi Stadium, and the chances of any play taking place are decreasing with every passing minute. The continued rain would mean that even if it stops, the groundsmen would have their task cut out as they get the ground ready for play.
Play was scheduled to begin 15 minutes ago; however, the toss has still not taken place. Overs could be lost if the rain does not relent soon.
The rain in Lahore has been reduced to a light drizzle. However, the ground at Gadaffi Stadium still remains under the covers. The groundsmen would only be able to start working on the outfield once the rain has reduced even further or has completely stopped.
Will we see another no-result in Lahore? The seventh match of the season between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi was washed out without even the toss taking place. Even with rain stopping for close to two hours the groundsmen could not do anything that day. Will it be a similar stroy today?
The toss between Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans has officially been delayed due to rain.
The heavy rains currently being witnessed in Lahore could have a massive impact on the clash. While the toss is set to be delayed, once the coin is flipped, the team winning the toss will be looking to bowl first.
