Toss

DUBAI: Islamabad United won the toss and opted to bowl against Multan Sultans today in Dubai, after the rain delayed the start of the match.

Rumman Raees struck early in swinging conditions to remove Kumar Sangakkara for 6.

Multan, riding high on two successive wins in their Pakistan Super League (PSL) debut, beat defending champions Peshawar Zalmi by seven wickets in the opening match of the PSL and then outclassed Lahore Qalandars by 43 runs in their second match.
