Magnificient power hitting by Lewis Gregory in the late overs helped Islamabad United win by three wickets against Multan Sultans in their opening 2021 Pakistan Super League encounter at the National Stadium in Karachi on Sunday. He was replaced by Shadab Khan, who could only chip in five runs before getting caught out off Carlos Brathwaite. INNINGS:Earlier, after being sent in to bat, the Sultans finished at 150-8 in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to a splendid 71-run knock by new captain Mohammad Rizwan. The Sultans lost their second wicket in the 8th over, when James Vince (16) was caught by Ashraf on a ball by Lewis Gregory. “We try and play our best XI according to the pitch and we’ll try and make the most of these conditions,” Sultans’ new skipper Mohammad Rizwan said.
