RAWALPIN­DI – West In­dies all-rounder Ja­son Hold­er pro­duced his sec­ond Play­er-of-the-Match per­for­mance in three games to lead Is­lam­abad Unit­ed to a com­fort­able 47-run vic­to­ry over the win­less Mul­tan Sul­tans in the Pak­istan Su­per League (PSL) on Wednes­day.

Af­ter be­ing sent in to bat at the Rawalpin­di Crick­et Sta­di­um, Is­lam­abad post­ed a com­pet­i­tive 202 for six from their 20 overs.

They were led by open­er Sahibza­da Farhan, who top­scored with 53 from 35 balls, while Col­in Munro lashed 48 from 25 balls, Haider Ali 33 off 16 balls and Hold­er pum­meled an un­beat­en 32 from just 14 balls with three fours and two six­es.

Bar­ba­di­an Chris Jor­dan was Mul­tan’s best bowler with 2-41 from his four overs.

Hold­er then ran through Mul­tan’s mid­dle and low­er or­der on his way to fig­ures of 4-25 from his four overs, as they were dis­missed for 155 from 18.4 overs to see Is­lam­abad romp to their third win in as many match­es.

Mul­tans cap­tain Mo­ham­mad Rizwan made 38 from 27 balls in an oth­er­wise dis­ap­point­ing bat­ting per­for­mance that saw them slump to their sec­ond straight loss.
