Overview
- Lahore Qalandars, in Friday's rain-curtailed match at Gaddafi Stadium, beat Multan Sultans after posting 185-5 in 13 overs.
- Mohammad Naeem hit 60 off 28 and Parvez Hossain Emon struck 45 off 19 as Lahore scored at 14.23 runs per over, the fastest completed-innings rate in PSL history.
- Multan fell short despite Ashton Turner’s 52 not out and Shan Masood’s 44, marking their first defeat of the 2026 season.
- Persistent rain delayed the toss and reduced the game to 13 overs a side, and viral images of puddles on the outfield drew criticism of ground preparation.
- Wisden’s updated table shows Lahore up to second on net run rate, while Lahore again played without Fakhar Zaman, who is serving a two-match ball-tampering ban.
