The Quetta Gladiators vs Multan Sultans encounter in PSL 2025 turned into a one-sided affair as Quetta Gladiators crushed Multan Sultans by 10 wickets at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. In one of the largest wins by balls remaining in PSL history, the Gladiators chased down the modest target of 90 in just 6.5 overs, boosting their chances in the PSL points table and denting Multan’s playoff hopes.
Fans searching for today’s PSL match winner were met with a standout performance. Quetta’s bowlers, led by Khurram Shahzad’s 4/23, dismantled the Sultans for just 89. With the bat, Finn Allen (45*) and Saud Shakeel (42*) made light work of the chase, unleashing aggressive strokes that left the Multan bowlers helpless.
Quetta Gladiators Bowlers Lead the Charge
Batting first, Multan Sultans were rocked early by Shahzad, who produced one of the best PSL bowling performances this season. His sharp swing and accurate pace earned him four wickets in 11 balls, sending Yasir Khan, Curtis Campher, Usman Khan, and Kamran Ghulam back to the pavilion.
With Multan struggling at 20 for 4, the middle order collapsed further. Faheem Ashraf (2/18) and Mohammad Wasim finished off the innings with strong support from Ashraf, who dismissed Iftikhar Ahmed and Michael Bracewell. The Sultans’ innings ended at 89, their sixth defeat in seven matches, leaving their net run rate at a dismal -2.355.
Rizwan’s Lone Stand Not Enough
Captain Mohammad Rizwan carried his bat for 44*, trying to anchor the innings, but found no support. Miscommunication resulted in run-outs of Usama Mir and Mohammad Hasnain, further hurting their total. Rizwan later admitted that the team would have opted to bowl first too, unsure about how the pitch would behave.

Allen and Shakeel Seal Historic Victory
Chasing just 90, Finn Allen and Saud Shakeel showed no hesitation. After a cautious start, Allen launched an assault on David Willey, smashing him for two sixes and a four. Shakeel joined the act with inventive shots, including a ramp over fine leg and a powerful pull over square leg.
By the end of the powerplay, the Gladiators had nearly sealed the game, finishing with 90 for 0 in 6.5 overs. This victory has put the Gladiators firmly back in the PSL 2025 playoff race.
