David’s Sultans Cruise to PSL Final with Crushing Win

Big-hitter Tim David has swiftly become a sensational player for the Multan Sultans and is now on the cusp of making history in the 2023 edition of the Pakistan Super League. Displaying his remarkable skills, David smashed quick 22 runs off 15 balls in the ‘Qualifier’ final, contributing significantly to the Sultans‘ 5-160 score against the Lahore Qalandars. The Qalandars, however, couldn’t withstand the overwhelming performance from the Sultans bowlers, including Sheldon Cottrell and Usama Mir, as they were bowled out for 76 in the 15th over. Despite joining the Sultans near the end of the regular season, Tim David has already left an indelible mark on the team’s journey, with his eyes now set on a coveted PSL crown.

The sensational performance of hammering 60 runs off just 27 balls in his first outing against Islamabad United, followed by an unbeaten 43 off 25 against Quetta Gladiators in his third match, demonstrates the impeccable skill and talent of this globe-trotting gun-for-hire cricket star. With an astonishing season tally of 127 runs in merely four matches and an astounding strike rate of 181.42, it comes as no surprise that David has made a name for himself and has fans on the edge of their seats every time he steps onto the field. As the final is scheduled for Sunday, March 19, every cricket enthusiast around the world, especially on the east coast of Australia, awaits the thrilling opportunity for David to claim his second T20 title in the early hours of Monday, March 20.

David’s journey in the world of cricket has been nothing short of exhilarating, marked by a combination of victories, near-misses, and relentless determination. His most notable triumph came in 2021 when he played a pivotal role in guiding the Southern Brave to victory during the inaugural Hundred competition. Since then, David has been involved in tight contests, finishing as runner-up in both the 2022 PSL and the UK’s T20 Blast the same year. The Hobart Hurricanes, which David joined ahead of KFC BBL|10, experienced a challenging run, making it to the finals series merely once and ultimately suffering defeat in the BBL|11 ‘Eliminator.’ As for Multan, the team is gearing up for a showdown against one of three potential adversaries— Islamabad, Peshawar Zalmi, or Lahore— in the final. With two nail-biting ‘Eliminator’ finals to determine their competition, it seems David’s path to success is paved with intense battles and unwavering persistence.
