Bangladesh duo makes impact in Lahore's victory Bangladesh all-rounders Mustafizur Rahman and Parvez Hossain played pivotal roles in Lahore Qalandars' 20-run victory over Multan Sultans in a rain-affected Pakistan Super League (PSL) match at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on Friday night. The contest, shortened to 13 overs per side due to weather interruptions, saw Lahore post a competitive total of 185-5 after being put in to bat. Multan, despite a spirited chase, fell short of the target, marking their first defeat of the tournament. Parvez Hossain, who had previously struggled with scores of 14 and 12 in his last two outings, delivered a standout performance with the bat. The left-hander initially faced difficulties, managing just 7 runs from his first 9 deliveries. However, he quickly adapted, launching an aggressive assault on Mohammad Nawaz. In a single over, Hossain smashed 19 runs, including two consecutive sixes and a boundary. He continued his dominance against left-arm spinner Faisal Akram, hitting three successive sixes. His innings of 45 off 19 balls—comprising five sixes and two fours—placed Lahore in a commanding position before he was caught on the boundary by Mohammad Ismail. Mustafizur Rahman complemented Hossain's batting with a crucial bowling spell. After picking up just one wicket in his previous two matches, the left-arm pacer returned to form with figures of 2-37 in 3 overs. He dismissed opener Sahibzada Farhan, who was caught at long-on after scoring 24, and later removed Shan Masood lbw for 44. These dismissals effectively halted Multan's momentum, setting the stage for Lahore's decisive victory. The match highlighted the resilience of Lahore Qalandars as they navigated the challenges posed by the weather.#gaddafi_stadium #lahore_qalandars #mustafizur_rahman #multan_sultans #parvez_hossain
