Analysis
The teams faced off in the first leg in Karachi on 21 February. Batting first, Sultans lost an early wicket but recovered to 87 for 3 on the back of successive partnerships between Rizwan and Vince, and Rizwan and Rossouw. However, a late collapse saw Sultans restricted to 150/8 in their quota of overs. Rizwan made a top score with his 71 off 53 balls, with only Vince (16), Rossouw (25) and Brathwaite (22) among the others reaching double figures. For United, M Wasim was the best bowler taking 3/29, while Lewis Gregory (two), Ashraf, Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan took the other wickets.
United did not have the best start to their reply, losing 3 wickets for 55 runs. A flurry of wickets thereafter saw them reduced to 74 for 6 in the 12th over. The fall of Faheem Ashraf’s wicket at the end of the 16th over appeared to sound the death knell, with the scoreboard reading 117 for 7. But Gregory, whose unbeaten 49 off 31 balls was the top score, guided United past the target without further loss of wickets. Hales (29) and Ashraf (22) were the other batsmen who contributed to the successful chase. For Sultans, Brathwaite and Shahid Afridi took two wickets each, while M Umar and Khushdil Shah took one each.
While Islamabad United are virtually assured of a top-two spot on the points table, Sultans are not yet guaranteed a place in the playoffs. Sultans who have three matches left to play must win at least two of those to remain in contention.
