Multan Sultans locked horns against Islamabad United in the final of the Pakistan Super League 2024 on Monday at the National Stadium in Karachi.
Batting first, MS were struggling at one point of time having lost nine wickets for just 127 runs in 17 overs. But eventually, they managed to put up a respectable total of 159 runs in nine wickets.
Bet here on PSL 2024 and other cricket matches!
With the ball, Pakistan international Imad Wasim rose to the occasion for Islamabad United as he scalped five wickets for 23 runs in 4 overs.
But Wasim got involved in a controversy during the innings break as he was caught smoking a cigarette inside the dressing.
Notably, current England Test team captain Ben Stokes admitted to smoking right before the Super Over in the 2019 ODI World Cup final in Lords.
Legendary late Australian spinner Shane Warne too was a chain smoker and was spotted on multiple occasions smoking in or outside the dressing room.
