The middle overs of the game between the two sides saw some even contest with both the bat and ball. However, Shah was the game-changer in the middle overs as he dismissed the in-form Sikander Raza at 1, before he could do any damage against the Sultans.
The Lahore Qaladars batter was left clueless as Khushdil Shah pitched in a brilliant delivery around the stumps that turned in leaving Raza with less time to react as he tried to play the ball away but it crashed onto his stumps.
With 201 runs on the board to chase, Multan Sultans will be looking to get to the mark and have a good start while Lahore Qalandars will be feeling confident defending the total.
