PSL 10: Qalandars chase 186 to beat Sultans

Lahore Qalandars clinched a thrilling five-wicket victory over Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 match at Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday, thanks to Daryl Mitchell’s superb all-round performance and a strong finish by Sikandar Raza.

Chasing 186, Qalandars lost early wickets, but Mitchell’s 64 off 38 balls and Raza’s unbeaten 40 off 21 steered them home with six balls to spare. The pair added a match-winning 89-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
