While Multan Sultans celebrated their inaugural victory in PSL 2025, a verbal slip by commentator Ramiz Raja inadvertently captured attention following the match.
During the post-match ceremony, as Ireland's Josh Little received recognition for executing the finest catch of the game – a swift dismissal of Fakhar Zaman – Raja, a former captain of Pakistan and an experienced cricket commentator, erroneously referred to the tournament as the 'HBL IPL' instead of the PSL. This blunder prompted swift reactions from fans on social media, with clips of the incident rapidly circulating online.

TheFollowing a thrilling match at the Multan Cricket Stadium, the home team triumphed over Lahore Qalandars by 33 runs. Sultan's journey began on an uncertain footing, but their victory on Tuesday showcased a remarkable comeback, highlighted by an impressive performance from Yasir Khan and a solid bowling display led by young pacer Ubaid Shah.
Yasir, making his season debut, dazzled the audience with a stunning 87 runs off 44 balls, featuring six fours and six sixes. He and captain Mohammad Rizwan formed a formidable opening partnership, accumulating 89 runs, with Rizwan contributing a swift 32 runs from 17 balls. This explosive start set the stage for a formidable total of 228/5, marking the highest score ever recorded at the Multan venue in PSL history.
In pursuit of 229 runs, the Qalandars began with promise but ultimately fell short. Despite notable contributions from Fakhar Zaman (32 off 14), Sam Billings (43 off 23), and Sikandar Raza (50 off 27), they could only reach 195/9 in their allotted overs. Ubaid Shah emerged as the standout bowler with three wickets, while Josh Little's spectacular catch shifted momentum in favor of the Sultans.
Currently, Islamabad United leads the PSL standings as the only unbeaten team this season, boasting four consecutive victories, while Karachi Kings hold second place with six points from five matches, and the Qalandars sit in third with four points.
