Islamabad United held their nerves to defeat in-form Multan Sultans by two wickets in a last-ball thriller to win the HBL PSL 9 for a third time at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi in the wee hours of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It was Multan Sultans\u2019 third finals defeat on the trot. They posted a subpar total of 159\/9. The Islamabad United finished the match with 160 — thanks to Imad Wasim\u2019s composed knock at the death that helped carry the team to victory on the very last ball.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Imad Wasim took five for 23 to prevent Multan Sultans from a relatively big score. The all-rounder is the first player to claim a five-wicket haul in a PSL final. Usman scored 57 off 40 and Iftikhar showed his brilliance with undefeated 32 off 20 balls.<\/p>\n

While chasing, Guptil hit 50 off 32 and Azam made 30 off 22 for Islamabad United. Khushdil took 2\/21. With this triumph, United secured their third PSL title, after victories in 2016 and 2018. Their consistent success established them as the most accomplished team in the tournament’s history.<\/p>\n
