Colin Munro and captain Shadab Khan led Islamabad United’s epic run chase towards table-toppers Multan Sultans within the PSL, because the two-time champions certified for the playoffs on Sunday.
Munro smashed 84 off 40 balls and Shadab added 54 off 31 balls earlier than Imad Wasim made an important unbeaten 30 to propel Islamabad to 232 for 7 for a three-wicket win in its final league sport. United completed with 11 factors from ten video games, whereas Sultans retain prime spot with 12 factors and a sport in hand.
Earlier, Usman Khan posted his second successive century within the event, as his unbeaten 100 off 50 balls anchored Multan to 228 for 4 after Shadab received the toss and elected to area beneath overcast circumstances.
Usman smashed 15 fours and three sixes in his dominant knock as he shared two strong half-century stands with Johnson Charles (42) and Iftikhar Ahmed (13).
United had a bumpy begin when David Willey discovered the thick exterior fringe of Alex Hales’ bat, and quick bowler Mohammad Ali (2 for 44) snapped a superb one-handed return catch to dismiss Agha Salman.
Munro and Shadab then put the chase again on monitor with a 141-run stand as they countercharged towards the event’s main wicket-taker Usama Mir (0 for 68) and Chris Jordan (1 for 42).
