Rishad takes two more but Lahore lose to Multan

Bangladeshi leg-spinner Rishad Hossain took two more wickets for Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) on Tuesday, taking his tally to eight wickets from three matches.

The tall leg-spinner, who started his PSL campaign with a three-wicket haul and followed it up with another three-for, was a bit expensive in the game against Multan Sultans, which Lahore Qalandars lost by 33 runs.

Returning to action after a week's gap, Rishad conceded 45 runs in his four overs but ended as his team's highest wicket-taker in the match.

Rishad gave away 22 runs in his first two overs without taking a wicket. He returned to take two wickets in his last two overs, giving away 23 more runs as Multan Sultans posted 228 for five.

Rishad's two scalps were those of Usman Khan and Ashton Turner. Lahore Qalandars' bowling attack struggled overall, with Shaheen Afridi, Asif Afridi, and Sikandar Raza picking up one wicket each.

Rishad, however, was not successful with the bat as he could score only two runs and Lahore were restricted to 195 for nine.
