After dismissing Usman Khan, the opener, in the fourth over of the innings, David Wiese made the crucial breakthrough during the run chase. In 12 balls, the right-hander scored 18 runs. Despite the early defeat, Rilee Rossouw and Muhammad Rizwan put together a remarkable partnership of 64 runs in 42 balls to ensure that the Multans maintained the requisite run rate.
Rashid Khan, however, struck out Rossouw just as the batter was about to threaten to win the game for the Qalandars. In 32 balls, the South African scored 52 runs. On his final over, Rashid hit once more as Rizwan, 34 off 23, perished attempting to clear the long-on boundary.
Shaheen returned in his second stint to secure the wicket of the dangerous Kieron Pollard after giving up 34 runs in his first two overs. In 16 balls, the Windies all-rounder scored 19 runs.
Shaheen took three wickets in his final over as well, giving his team a good chance to win the game.
