Karachi: Lahore Qalandars 140-8, Multan Sultans 141-3 - Multan Sultans won by seven wickets

Multan Sultans ended their Pakistan Super League campaign with a crushing victory over Lahore Qalandars in Karachi.

The Sultans had already been eliminated from the competition but they made sure they gave their fans something to cheer about by romping to a seven-wicket win with 45 balls to spare.

Spearheaded by Mohammad Abbas (3-22) and Shahid Afridi (2-18) with the ball, and Johnson Charles (41) and Shan Masood (48) with the bat, Multan restrictred Lahore to 140 for 8 from their 20 overs before knocking off the required runs in double-quick time.

Bowling first after winning the toss, Multan ripped through the Qalandars' top order, with four of the top five failing to reach double figures.

Fakhar Zaman crashed 53 in 36 balls, hitting eight fours and a six, to give his side what looked at first to be a competitive total but the Sultans flew out of the traps in response.

James Vince made 25 from 14 deliveries at the top of the innings to set the tone before Masood took over, smiting eight fours and a six.

Masood was eventually dismissed by David Weise but the damage was already done.
