Jason Holder emerged as the match-winner once again, dismantling the lower order with four wickets for just 25 runs. The Multan Sultans batting lineup collapsed under the scoreboard pressure. Holder’s brilliant bowling display in PSL 2025 was the highlight of the second innings.
Islamabad United Stay Unbeaten in PSL 2025
With this win, Islamabad United have now secured three wins in three matches in PSL 2025, showcasing both batting depth and bowling strength. On the other hand, Multan Sultans remain winless and continue searching for their first victory in the tournament.
This result strengthens United’s position at the top, and with stars like Farhan and Holder in peak form, they look like serious contenders for the title this season.
