Scorer: Binoy George | Commentator: Momin Butt

That's that from ESPNcricinfo's live coverage of the opening game of PSL 2022. We hope you enjoyed our watch and don't forget to tune in again tomorrow. From Raghav, Momin, and Binoy, goodbye and goodnight!

Imran Tahir is the Player of the Match. "I didn't expect the pitch to take turn tonight. In the previous edition there were heaps of runs scored at this venue so it was nice to see that it slightly on a slower side."

We'll have the presentations in a short while.

Qaiser Abbas: "Heartiest congratulations to Pakistan as PSL is underway. A good start for MS as well!"

Faizan Ahmed: "So Rizwan started 2022 right from where he ended 2021. Welcome fifty."

Multan Sultans open their PSL 2022 account with a fairly comprehensible seven-wicket victory. They started sluggishly much like their opposition. But the skipper, Mohammad Rizwan, kept his cool, anchored the innings and saw his side home. Shan Masood and Sohaib Maqsood played decent supporting roles to ensure that runs were never an issue for the defending champions. Karachi Kings' pacers failed to strike up-front and while Nabi tied things down in the latter half of the run-chase, they never had enough runs on the board in the first place to really trouble the men in blue. So, the Sultans draw first blood in this year's edition, an ideal beginning to their title-defense.

Mohammad Imran to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR, Smoked over extra-cover! Pitched up by Imran, Rizwan shuffles away, opens the face of his bat and expertly lofts it over the off-side, no one stationed there

Mohammad Imran to David, 1 run, Lovely slower delivery, pitching on middle and leg, Tim is once again quite early into his defensive prod as it balloons up into the off-side but lands on an empty real estate

Mohammad Imran to Mohammad Rizwan, 1 run, Overpitched, wide outside off, Rizwan does well to extend his reach and dig it out
