This was also the second-century knock of this year’s PSL. Kamran Akmal of Peshawar Zalmi was the first score a century this season. Coming back to Rossouw, the 30-year old’s international career was cut short when he decided to shift to the United Kingdom with a Kolpak deal. Since then, he has been playing club cricket all over the world. Other than playing for Hampshire, he has represented Khulna Tigers in the Bangladesh Premier and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. Interestingly, Rossouw was with the Quetta Gladiators for the first three seasons, against whom he scored the brilliant hundred at Multan.

Multan solidifies the place at the top

Rossouw’s hundred ensured Multan Sultans put a huge total of 199 for 5 in their 20 overs. Quetta Gladiators battled hard but were always behind the required rate and ended up losing the match. Shane Watson scored a brilliant 80 off 41 balls but it wasn’t enough for Quetta to beat Multan. Quetta could only manage 169. Bilawal Bhatti and Imran Tahir were the best bowlers for Multan as they shared five wickets between them to script a 30 run win. Sultans are currently leading the points table with four wins from five matches.
