CRICKET
The real momentum to Qalandars' innings came after Shaheen Afridi's batting, who played a blinder to power Lahore to a daunting first innings score of 200.
On Saturday, during the Pakistan Super League final, Shaheen Afridi showcased his exceptional batting skills, leading his team, Lahore Qalandars, to a total of 200 for 6 against Multan Sultans at the Gaddafi Stadium. Afridi's unbeaten 44 off only 15 balls was a remarkable feat, with a strike rate of 293.33, including two fours and five sixes.
At the time of Afridi's entry, Lahore Qalandars were struggling at 112 for 5 in 14.1 overs. However, what followed was an absolute spectacle of power-hitting from the captain, who single-handedly turned the game around, eventually helping his team post a daunting total on the board.

Chasing 200, Multan Sultans started off strong, putting up over 100 runs in just 11 overs while losing only two wickets. Rilee Rossouw played an exceptional innings, scoring 52 runs off just 32 balls. However, Pollard and Tim David couldn't contribute much to the team's total.
As the game progressed, it all came down to the last over, with Multan Sultans needing 13 runs to win. The tension was palpable as Rizwan's team required a boundary off the last ball to seal the deal. The pressure was on Kushdil, but unfortunately, he could only manage two runs, and Lahore won the game by the narrowest of margins.
