Peshawar Zalmi’s team had scored 218 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in 19 overs. The team was expected to bowl better from Anwar, who came to bowl the last over for Multan Sultan, but he took the score to 242 runs, giving away 24 runs alone in the entire over.
Anwar Ali gave 3 sixes and 1 four in the last over
Due to the slow over rate, Multan Sultan had to keep 5 players in the 30-yard circle in the last over of the innings. While talking about the over, where Anwar Ali bowled the first ball wide, Tom Kolher Cadmore hit a six on the next ball. Where a four came on the second ball of the over, another six was hit on the third ball.
Anwar Ali again tried to play a big shot on the fourth ball of his over, and at one time everyone felt that the ball would cross the boundary line, but Kierna Pollard, while fielding brilliantly, did the first ball inside the boundary line. And then converted it into a catch. After this, Wahab Riaz hit a six on the 5th over and 1 run came on the last ball. Anwar Ali took 1 wicket in this match giving 66 runs in his 4 overs.
