Toss:
The fact that the toss won by Quetta and bowled first by them against Multan in the 28th match of the Pakistan Super League in 8th season that is currently taking place at Cricket Stadium in Pindi should be brought to your attention.

Multan Sultans Inning:
Fastest Century:
Usman Khan, the opener for Multan, scored century runs scores which is fastest in the history of the Pakistan Super League in just 36 balls during their match against Quetta, which also resulted in Multan posting the highest total in the history of the tournament.

Usman broke the record by one ball. He was successful in scoring 120 runs in 43 balls by hitting twelve fours and 9 sixes, which contributed to his total.
In just 29 deliveries, Mohammad Rizwan amassed 55 runs, the majority of which came from 6 fours and 2 sixes.
Tim David was still not out after scoring 43 runs in just 25 balls, four of which were huge sixes. He faced no opposition.
While Mohammad Nawaz took one wicket, Qais was responsible for two of the team’s dismissals.
Most Expensive Bowler:

Additionally, this bowling is tied for third place as in the history of Twenty20 cricket this is the most expensive bowling figure.
Highest Inning Total:

Result:
During the eighth season of the (PSL), which took place on Saturday in Rawalpindi, the Multan Sultans won by nine runs, eliminating the Quetta Gladiators from contention for a spot in the postseason.
Before the match, Gladiators were still in position to earn a spot in the postseason of the current season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 8). They had to win their final match of league stage against Sultans by a significant margin, but that did not occur during that match.
Peshawar was able to secure the spot in the next round of the competition thanks to the success of Multan, who had previously secured their position in the postseason of the tournament.
