The opening player made 120 off 43 balls before he was dismissed by Mohammad Nawaz. Usman’s ton is also the second-fastest century by a Pakistan cricketer in T20 cricket. In 2020, Khushdil Shah scored 100 runs in just 35 balls, which included eight fours and nine sixes, in a domestic T20 match. With his swashbuckling century, Multan Sultans posted 262/3 in their alloted 20 overs.
The top-order batter’s performance was so sensational that even the opponents had to acknowledge his prowess. Taking to their Twitter handle, Quetta Gladiators tweeted: “Appreciation tweet for Usman Khan”
On Friday, Peshawar Zalmi failed to defend 240 runs or more for the second successive time as Multan Sultans won the 486-run thriller by four wickets to storm into the Pakistan Super League 2023 playoffs in front of another full-house at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. Rilee Rossouw stroked the fastest PSL century off 41 balls, improving his own record by two balls, and Kieron Pollard blasted a 25-ball 52 as Multan Sultans achieved the 243-run target with five balls to spare.
