Defending champions Islamabad United recorded their fifth successive victory in PSL 10 after defeating Multan Sultans at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

Multan batted first and posted 168 for 5 in 20 overs, with Usman Khan contributing a gritty half-century. The total proved insufficient as Islamabad chased the target with ease, reaching 169 for 3 in just 17.1 overs.

Andries Gous anchored the chase with an unbeaten 80 off 45 balls, hitting six fours and five sixes. His knock earned him the Player of the Match award.
