Srinagar: Lahore Qalandars lost PSL 2023 against Multan Sultans on Thursday but its pacer Haris Rauf was at his merciless best, shattering stumps of Multan batters.
Haris Rauf took wickets of Kieron Pollard and Khushdil Shah on consecutive deliveries with 150kph plus bullets.
Multan Sultans began slowly, with captain Mohammad Rizwan receiving criticism for the nature of his innings, but a late assault from Pollard pushed Multan Sultans up towards a good total.
He hit three sixes in an over off Shaheen Shah Afridi, and exchanged words with the Lahore Qalandars captain during their bout.
Bowling the next over, the 20th, Rauf tore in as if a man intent on revenge, hitting 150kph with each of his first four balls.
The quickest, recorded at 154kph (95.7mph), sent Pollard’s off-stump flying, while the next ball, at 150.3kph, did for Khushdil as Lahore Qalandars finished strong.
