Peter Siddle takes one wicket in an underwhelming bowling display by the Multan Sultans
In a rain-shortened contest in Lahore, Sultans captain Ashton Turner opted to bowl first. However, Lahore Qalandars took the opposition bowlers with a powerful batting display, amassing 185/5 in their 13 overs, headlined by Mohammad Naeem’s 60 alongside cameos from Parvez Hossain Emon (45) and Abdullah Shafique (33). Meanwhile, the fielding lapse occurred in the 12th over of the innings as the yorker from Siddle saw Asif Ali toe end to fine leg inside the ring. Mohammad Wasim fired a throw at the non-striker’s end but there was no backup, allowing the batters to take a brace. Another throw triggered a misfield from the fielders and it resulted in a boundary, making it six runs.
