Sangakkara strikes 57 as Sultans beat Zalmi in PSL 2018 debut
DUBAI: Debutantes Multan Sultans secured a comfortable win by seven wickets against the defending champions Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) opener here on Thursday.
Senior player Kumar Sangakkara scored a 57-run inning, which included three boundaries and two sixes. Sultans' skipper Shaoib Malik showed his stellar performance with a knock of 42 off 30. He scored two sixes and two fours in his innings. The one worry people had about Multan Sultans was the absence of enough power hitters, Shoaib Malik's men instead topping up on classical batsmen. How fortunate, then, that Sultans kicked off with a chase of 152, ideally suited to their particular batting line-up. Defending champions Peshawar Zalmi didn't bowl badly, but they simply didn't have enough runs on a greener, faster strip than is not commonly associated with the UAE. Darren Sammy's men had begun their innings shakily, thanks to a brilliant opening spell by Sohail Tanvir, who swung the ball in sharply. He was expertly backed up by Mohammad Irfan, whose extra bounce proved particularly troubling for last year's leading run-scorer Kamran Akmal; he fell for a duck attempting to pull cross the line.A half-century from Mohammad Hafeez kept the innings together, while supporting roles from Dwayne Smith and Haris Sohail helped Zalmi regroup, but run rate was always a concern. Sammy's 29 off 11 balls helped them get past 150, but in the end, it was the early sluggishness that he and his team were left to bemoan. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Sangakkara strikes 57 as Sultans beat Zalmi in PSL 2018 debut || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
