Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators Live: Turner’s Sultans Stun Gladiators In Powerplay

Multan Sultans’ decision to field first paid immediate dividends as they restricted Quetta Gladiators to a cautious 42/2 during the Powerplay in their PSL 2026 clash.

The Sultans' bowling attack, led by captain Ashton Turner, applied pressure from the opening ball. Mohammad Nawaz found early success, dismissing Khawaja Nafay for 12. The breakthrough came quickly as Nafay’s attempt to clear the infield resulted in a mistimed shot.

Saud Shakeel showed glimpses of aggression, rotating the strike and finding the boundary three times, but the Sultans' fielders were sharp. The pressure told again in the third over as Shamyl Hussain fell for just 2, trapped by a disciplined over from Turner.

By the end of the six overs, Quetta found themselves on the back foot. While Shakeel remains at the crease alongside Hassan Nawaz, the Sultans’ tactical bowling changes have dictated the tempo. The Gladiators now face a steep climb to rebuild their innings against a confident Multan side led by Turner and Steve Smith in the field.
