Islamabad United Dominate Multan Sultans to Maintain Perfect Record in PSL X
Islamabad United continued their red-hot form in PSL Season 10, securing a dominant 47-run win over Multan Sultans in Rawalpindi, further cementing their spot at the top of the points table.
Sahibzada Farhan, Jason Holder Shine
In a match delayed by rain, United were asked to bat first and made the most of the opportunity, piling up 202/6 in their 20 overs. The innings was anchored by Sahibzada Farhan, who struck a fluent 53 off 35 balls, and Colin Munro, who blazed 48 off 25 at a strike rate of nearly 200.
Despite losing Shadab Khan (14) and Azam Khan (4) cheaply, a powerful late onslaught by Haider Ali (33 off 16) and Jason Holder (32 off 14)* pushed Islamabad beyond the 200-mark—an intimidating total considering the pitch conditions.

Holder’s All-Round Brilliance Seals the Deal
Multan Sultans started their chase positively but faltered in the middle overs as wickets fell regularly. Mohammad Rizwan top-scored with 38 off 27, but lack of support from the other end led to their downfall.
Jason Holder proved to be the difference-maker yet again, backing up his explosive cameo with a lethal bowling spell of 4 for 25, earning him Player of the Match honors.
