Islamabad United's all-rounder Faheem Ashraf was on song with the bat as he single-handedly guided his team to victory against Multan Sultans in Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 on Tuesday.
Faheem struck 51 runs off 26 balls to help his team pull off an unbelievable run chase. The left-handed batter changed the course of the game within the last three overs.
After his splendid match-winning knock, fans praised his return to form.
Needed 18 runs off last over bowled by Mohammad Ilyas, Faheem struck two boundaries and six to make the target chase able.
It was the first time in PSL's history that 18 runs were chased in the last over.
Faheem, earlier, set the tone for his team while partnering with skipper Shadab for 39-run partnership.
In the end, he and Mohammad Wasim Jr. scored 28 off 12 balls to bring United back in the chase. His match-winning knock accounted for 51 runs off 26 balls laced with five boundaries and two maximums.
Earlier, Shadab (44) and Colin Munro (40) scored 59 off 30 balls together to tackle Sultans' bowlers in the middle overs. The two batters played an important role in United's chase which is now registered as a record of highest successful run-chase in PSL's history.
