PSL 2026, MS vs RWP 14th Match Report, 6 April 2026

Multan Sultans 186 for 3 (Farhan 68, Philippe 56, Amir 2-32) knock Rawalpindi 182 for 8 (Billings 56*, Ghulam 35, Faisal Akram 4-31) with seven wickets

This tournament was friendly to chasing teams, so Rawalpindiz knew they were up against it. With Naseem Shah ruled out, they needed a big effort from Mohammad Amir, one they looked to get when he trapped Steve Smith in his first over. However, the regular Rawalpindiz breakthroughs that had been sniffed about never materialized as Farhan and Philippe began to take charge.

That dominance was rubber stamped when Farhan decided to take the attack on Amir himself and hit two sixes off the first two balls of his next over. This helped Sultans sign off the Powerplay by scoring 58, an advantage they pressed home against Rawalpindiz’s thin bowling attack. Philippe bowled Mohammad Amir Khan for 16 in the eighth over before the pair plundered four sixes off Rishad Hossain in an over that almost made the match safe at the halfway mark.

From there it was a Rawalpindiz march. A decent yorker from Amir Khan removed Farhan while Mohammad Amir sent back Philippe, but both scored whirlwind half-centuries, and now the asking rate was barely more than a run a ball. Shan Masood and Ashton Turner made light work of it.

In 27 balls between the eighth and 12th overs, Rawalpindiz scored just 28, losing three big wickets in the process, including a clever top-spinner who accounted for Daryl Mitchell. Dian Forrester smashed Mohammad Nawaz for three consecutive sixes to inject some impetus into the innings, but there were not enough men to give him company.
