Match Verdict
A 225-run target proved no obstacle for Multan as Sahibzada Farhan produced a stunning century – 106* off 57 balls – to lead the chase at an astonishing rate. Steven Smith's blistering 46 off 20 (SR 230) alongside Farhan put the game beyond Hyderabad before the halfway point of the innings. Maaz Sadaqat's 62 off 26 had set a formidable target, but it simply wasn't enough.
