 Cricket Carnage in Lahore: Quetta Gladiators Crush Multan Sultans by 10 Wickets

What was expected to be a competitive clash turned into a one-sided show of dominance as the Quetta Gladiators steamrolled Multan Sultans in the 18th match of the Pakistan Super League 2025. Played under the floodlights in Lahore, this game barely lasted long enough for the crowd to settle in.

The Collapse: Multan’s Nightmare Start

Multan Sultans, after being put into bat, never found their footing. Right from the start, they were pushed on the back foot by a fiery spell from Khurram Shahzad, who ripped through their top order like a buzzsaw. He bagged 4 crucial wickets, earning the Player of the Match title. MS crumbled to just 89 all out, a total that looked weak even before the Gladiators came out to bat.

The Chase: Pure Destruction by Saud & Allen

If MS were hoping to fight back with the ball, Saud Shakeel and Finn Allen had other plans. The pair chased down the target of 90 in just 6.5 overs, with 79 balls to spare – a demolition job rarely seen at this level.

Saud Shakeel: 42* off 20 balls

Finn Allen: 45* off 21 balls

Boundaries rained as the duo showcased a fearless brand of cricket. From slog sweeps to brutal pulls, MS bowlers had no answers. Allen finished the game in style with a majestic six over long-off.

Match Summary:

Multan Sultans: 89 all out (Khurram Shahzad 4 wickets)

Quetta Gladiators: 90/0 in 6.5 overs

Result: QG won by 10 wickets

This was a statement win. Not just two points earned, but a psychological upper hand taken. If the Gladiators can carry this form into the knockout stages, they might just go all the way.
