In reply, the Sultans fell one run short despite a 50-ball 75 from Mohammad Rizwan. The match in Multan also say fans wishing Virat Kohli to some to Multan.     

"Wish to see Virat Kohli in Multan," one fan held a placard in Multan. The image has been shared many times on social media.

The Indian cricket fraternity took to social media to hail Women in Blue's performances in their win over arch-rivals Pakistan in their ICC Women's T20 World Cup match at Cape Town. India registered a thrilling seven-wicket victory against Pakistan in a humdinger of a match to start their Women's T20 World Cup with a win on Sunday at Newlands. Star Indian batter Virat Kohli also congratulated Women in Blue for their win in a "high-pressure game" and said that leaps being taken by women's side in every tournament is going to inspire a generation of women.

"What a win from our women's team against Pakistan in a high-pressure game and a tough run chase," tweeted Virat.

"The women's team is taking such giant leaps ahead with every tournament we play and it's going to inspire a whole generation of girls to take up the sport and take women's cricket higher and higher. More power to all of you. God bless," added Virat in another tweet.
