PSL 2022: Mohammad Rizwan powers Multan Sultans to new record with nine wins as Islamabad United make playoffs

Multan Sultans, Lahore Qalandars, Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United will be playing the HBL PSL 2022 playoffs. The Sultans will play the Qualifier with either Qalandars or Zalmi on Wednesday (February 23). 

Defending champions Multan Sultans produced another stellar all-round performance to finish the double-league round-robin stage of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 with a staggering nine wins out of 10 matches (most for any teams in the group stage in an HBL PSL edition). The Sultans defeated Islamabad United by six wickets in front of a packed Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday (February 20) night, despite their defeat, United, the 2016 and 2018 champions confirmed a place in the play-offs.

United won the toss and opted to bat first, their batters though failed to do justice to the decision made by the captain Asif Ali on a sluggish pitch. United who has had multiple recent injuries to deal with had to field a largely inexperienced side.
