The 27-year-old batter finished with 120 off 43 with 12 fours and nine sixes to his name.

Multan Sultans ended with 262 for three in its 20 overs, registering the highest team total in PSL history. The record was previously held by Islamabad United, which had scored 247 for two against Peshawar Zalmi in 2021.

Sultans broke their own record for the highest total in the current edition of the PSL. On Friday, Sultans had scored 244 for six against Zalmi.
