Rizwan equals Babar’s unwanted record as Rawalpindiz slip again against the Sultans in PSL 2026

Mohammad Rizwan’s difficult run as captain continued as Pindiz slumped to yet another loss in PSL 2026, a result that now sees him equal Babar Azam’s record for the most consecutive defeats as captain in PSL history. The unwanted milestone came after a six-wicket defeat to Multan Sultans at the National Stadium Karachi, further highlighting Pindiz’s struggles to close out games despite competitive performances.

Match Summary

Multan Sultans vs Rawalpindiz

Venue: National Stadium Karachi

Toss: Pindiz won and opted to bat

Pindiz: 166/4 (20 overs)

Multan Sultans: 167/4 (18.4 overs)

Result: Multan Sultans won by 6 wickets

Pindiz posted 166/4 after steady contributions from Daryl Mitchell (58*) and Dian Forrester (37*), but once again fell short of a match-winning total due to a lack of acceleration in the death overs.

In response, Multan chased with composure. Steve Smith’s 56 off 31 provided the foundation, while Ashton Turner’s unbeaten 37 ensured a smooth finish with eight balls to spare. The loss not only deepens Rawalpindi's slide in the standings but also places Rizwan in unwanted company. Matching Babar Azam’s record underlines a worrying phase for the captain, whose side has repeatedly failed to defend totals and hold pressure in key moments. With time running out in the tournament, Rizwan and PindiZ must quickly respond—or risk letting this record define their entire campaign.
