Shane Watson attempted his best scoring 80 off only 41 balls but could not take his team on the line. It was the surface of the table battle at the 12th game of the continuing Pakistan Super League (PSL) and it lived up to its billing. The Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators amused the plump arena as 368 runs were scored in 40 overs. Rilee Rossouw was the celebrity of the afternoon since he smacked a 44-ball century and while Shane Watson tried his very best to find the Gladiators within the traces, the Sultans were simply too great on the afternoon. After opting to bat, the Multan Sultans, in front of their home crowd, were decreased to 48/3 from the eighth over. He joined hands with the skipper Shan Masood who played second fiddle at a colossal 139-run venture and abandoned the Gladiators stunned. The duo, particularly, Rossouw upped the ante from nowhere since they scored 139 runs in only 10.4 overs. But, Rossouw was effective in crossing the three-figure markers at the past over which led the house group to 199/6 after 20 overs.

Shane Watson’s fights alone for the Quetta Gladiators

The 200-run chase was not going to be simple for the Quetta Gladiators. However, Shane Watson Appeared to Be at the zone around the afternoon. He smacked the bowlers to each of the areas of the floor even as wickets fell around him. His teammates consuming more deliveries in the other end supposed that Watson’s blitz was not sufficient for the Gladiators to keep in front of the necessary run-rate.   The Aussie was scoring runs in a strike-rate of nearly 200. But the following best strike-rate at the top five was 111.11 out of Jason Roy who shot 27 balls to rally 30 runs. None of the batsmen could cross the 14-run markers and if Watson himself caught out from the 16th over, the curtains were as Gladiators still desired 61 runs to win the game. This was a little too much to perform for the reduced sequence and though Anwar Ali smacked 14 runs off 8 balls, it was not likely to be sufficient to win the match for them. Quetta Gladiators finally fell short of this goal by 30 runs end on 169/7 after 20 overs. Like Facebook page
