'Might find a blanket and sleep here': Australian cricketer mocks PSL schedule after back-to-back matches

“Might go and find somewhere to get a blanket and a pillow and sleep here — very short turnaround,” Turner said during the post-match presentation, as quoted by Pakistan’s Geo Super.Speaking about the match, the Australian all-rounder said the team adjusted to the conditions and performed well in all areas. “Slightly different conditions than the last two games. We did well in all three facets, which is satisfying,” he said. “I was probably going to bowl the first over, but we expected two left-handers at the top. Fair play to them — they changed that.”Turner’s decision to bowl first worked as the spin attack restricted Quetta Gladiators to 166 for 7 in 20 overs.In the chase, Multan reached the target of 167 with four wickets in hand and 15 balls remaining. Steve Smith led the effort with 53 off 35 balls.On Monday, Multan Sultans again chose to bowl first after winning the toss against Rawalpindi Kings at the same venue. This is the first meeting between the two teams in the PSL.Playing XIsMultan Sultans: Steven Smith, Sahibzada Farhan, Josh Philippe (wk), Shan Masood, Ashton Turner (c), Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Nawaz, Peter Siddle, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Muhammad Ismail, Faisal Akram.Rawalpindi Kings: Mohammad Rizwan (c/wk), Yasir Khan, Kamran Ghulam, Daryl Mitchell, Sam Billings, Abdullah Fazal, Dian Forrester, Rishad Hossain, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Amir Khan, Asif Afridi.
