DHAKA, April 4, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh duo Mustafizur Rahman and Parvez 
Hossain shined in with bowling and batting respectively as Lahore Qalandars 
secured a 20-run victory over Multan Sultans in a rain-affected Pakistan 
Super League (PSL) contest at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on Friday night.

The match was reduced to 13 overs per side, with Lahore posting a competitive 
185-5 after being put in to bat. In response, Multan managed 165-5, falling 
short despite a spirited chase and conceded their first defeat in the 
tournament. 

After modest scores of 14 and 12 in his previous outings, Parvez Hossain 
bounced back in style. The left-hander initially struggled, scoring just 7 
off his first 9 deliveries. However, he soon shifted gears dramatically.

He launched an aggressive assault on Mohammad Nawaz, smashing 19 runs in a 
single over that included two consecutive sixes and a boundary. Parvez 
continued his onslaught against left-arm spinner Faisal Akram, hitting three 
successive sixes.

His blistering knock of 45 off just 19 balls, featuring five sixes and two 
fours, put Lahore in a commanding position before he was eventually caught on 
the boundary by Mohammad Ismail.

Mustafizur Rahman complemented the batting effort with a crucial 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, effectively halting Multan's 
momentum.
