That's all from the first game of today's double-header - make sure you tune into our coverage of Lahore vs Karachi shortly, with the toss due in just under an hour.

Rilee Rossouw is, unsurprisingly, player of the match. "Shan and Rizzy set the foundation for the back end for guys to go out and express themselves. [Celebrations?] Another football inspiration. The boys and I have a good thing going on FIFA back in the team room. [Winning streak?] Every game is important. We're playing really good cricket."

Multan are now pretty much guaranteed to finish top of the table and Quetta need to hammer Karachi in their final game while hoping Islamabad lose heavily in their last two.

Lahore and Peshawar are officially through to the play-offs. Islamabad United have one foot in the knockout stages but don't have the 'Q' next to their name just yet.

This was the heaviest defeat in PSL history, beating Multan's 110-run win against Quetta last season.

Gohar: "This is painful to watch. Thank god for putting Quetta out of their misery"

Khushdil to Irfan, OUT

that's all folks! Miserable performance from Quetta. Full and straight from Khushdil, through Irfan as he looks to swing down the ground. Clips the top of off stump on its way through and Multan win by 117 runs

Mohammad Irfan is the last man in. Sarfaraz on strike.

Strategic timeout! Intrigued to know what sort of strategies Quetta will be discussing...

1W
Tahir to Sarfaraz, 1 run, OUT

slider, steered away into the leg side. Mix-up between the two batters and Mudassar is run out at the non-striker's end! Sarfaraz wanted the second to retain the strike but his partner was slow to respond. Good bounce-throw from Masood on the rope, and Tahir whips off the bails

13.5
Dahani to Ghulam Mudassar, no run

backs away, Dahani digs it in short at 86mph/136kph. Prolonged appeal from Dahani but it looked like he was nowhere near it. Rizwan pretends to call for a review, but grins as he knew the timer was up

13.4
W
Dahani to Naseem Shah, OUT

cleans him up! Dahani angles it in on a length, Naseem plays it onto the stumps via the back thigh as he looks to swing over the leg side. Lighter moment as Aleem Dar runs across to stop Dahani celebrating, pretending to rugby tackle him. Dahani eventually wriggles out of his clutches and bows towards the crowd

13.3
Dahani to Naseem Shah, no run

Dahani to Noor Ahmad, OUT

cleaned up! 84mph/135kph, Noor looks to swing him away into the leg side and loses his stumps. Dahani races away in celebration towards the stands with a wide grin on his face, bowing towards Sir Viv in the Quetta dugout. Naseem Shah, the new man in, shares a laugh with him, mimicking a swish of his bat at him... Quetta are sliding towards a heavy defeat

bosh! Noor skips down and brings out the long-handle, swinging Khushdil away. Tim David was interested at long-on, but even his 6ft5in frame couldn't reach it
