PSL 10: Islamabad United beat Multan Sultans by 47 runs

Islamabad United stormed to another dominant win in PSL 2025, defeating Multan Sultans by 47 runs in Rawalpindi, powered by Sahibzada Farhan’s fifty and a brilliant all-round display led by Jason Holder.

Farhan, building on his century in the last match, smacked 53, with Colin Munro hammering 48 off 25. Despite early pressure from Multan’s bowlers, United finished with a mighty 202 for 6, thanks to 64 explosive runs in the last four overs.

Kieron Holder was the star with the ball too, returning figures of 4 for 25, slicing through the Sultans’ lower order. Imad Wasim supported with 2 for 33, tightening the noose in the middle overs as Multan collapsed under scoreboard pressure.

Multan began their chase with promise. Though Shai Hope fell early, Usman struck quick runs, including two sixes in one over. But once Imad removed him, the innings never recovered momentum.

Skipper Mohammad Rizwan tried to steady the ship but fell to Shadab Khan, and from there, it was Holder’s show. He dismantled the tail, with wickets tumbling rapidly and the Sultans folding for 155.

Bracewell and Iftikhar offered brief hope with a short partnership, but their dismissals triggered a late collapse that sealed Multan’s fourth straight loss. They remain winless, while United, unbeaten so far, look set to dominate the tournament.
