Multan were very, very lucky with the wicket of Imam-ul-Haq, as it should`ve been a no-ball, but it's not everyone's cup of tea to make use of good fortunes. Absolutely silly bowling from Irfan there but what a incredible hitting from Pollard. Four sixes off as many balls, 24 runs removed from the run-chase within a jiffy and the match was done there and then. On his day he can be relentless and an absolute delight to watch when he gets going. There's hardly a clean hitter as good as him in the world right now. It's just a matter of when and on what day he decides to turn up.

I seriously think that Sammy and the tail-elders at the other end would`ve struggled to get Peshawar over the line had Pollard not had his moment of pure madness. Also, Multan`s middle-order goofed up things a lot. 15-20 runs more would've perhaps done it for them. They really wasted a brilliant start provided by Johnson Charles. Malik and company must take a lot of the blame for today`s loss. Only a miracle can save Multan from hereon.
