Smith ton in vain as Kingsmen chase 214 v Multan
[Reuters] Steve Smith's century was in vain as Hyderabad Kingsmen chased 214 with two balls to spare to beat Multan Sultans by four wickets . Smith's knock was eclipsed by Usman Khan's 44-ball hundred for the Kingsmen which laid the foundations for the chase, but his dismissal set up a thrilling finish with 32 still required from the last 13 balls. But Hassan Khan played a stunning hand with 24 not out from just six balls, including three sixes, to earn a crucial win to take the Kingsmen up to fourth in the table.
Australia's Smith had earlier added 132 for the first wicket with Sahibzada Farhan, who made 66, but Multan could not capitalise on their start as they lost six wickets in the last four overs. Akif Javed took three wickets while Hassan Khan took the key wicket of Smith in the 17th over which kickstarted the lower order collapse from 185-1 to 213-7. PSL fixtures & results PSL table [BBC]
