Sohaib Maqsood, Man of the Match: I was frustrated about my performances in the last two games. But the captain and team management backed me. Even I had the confidence to do well in the remaining games. Sangakkara also helped me a lot to improve my batting. I thought today I was in the zone and Sanga had told me to give myself time and target specific bowlers.
Chasing the highest total of the season was never going to be easy and when you lose both openers in the powerplay, it is only going to get harder. Smith and Hafeez resurrected the innings to an extent, but wickets at regular intervals kept Multan in the drivers seat. The partnership from Hafeez and Dawson gave Peshawar a hope, but Tanvir's brilliant 19th over shut the door on the chase. In the end, it was a comfortable victory for the table toppers.
