Pakistan fast bowler got off to a nightmare start against Lahore Qalandars in match number 11 of the PSL 2026 season. Opening the bowling for the Multan Sultans franchise, the uncapped Pakistan cricketer conceded 26 runs off his first over to claim an unwanted PSL record.

The culprit, a 20-year-old Muhammad Ismail, started off his over with five wides, before getting belted for three elegant boundaries by Qalandars opener Mohammad Naeem.

Multan Sultans fast bowler concedes 26 runs off first over

Playing his first match of the PSL 2026 season, as well as the first match of his PSL career overall, young Muhammad Ismail was tasked to open the bowling for the Multan Sultans in match 11 of the tournament against the Lahore Qalandars.

The speedster started off with five wides, before his length delivery flew over the first slip for a boundary by Mohammad Naeem. Ismail sent down another wide towards the boundary in a near replica of the first ball, as the Qalandars raced to 14-0 after just one legal delivery.

🚨 14 runs on just 1 ball . Muhammad Ismail under pressure

Apr 3, 2026, 9:30 PM

Muhammad Ismail’s forgettable first-ever PSL over has now created an unwanted record in the history of the tournament. It marked the most runs ever conceded by a bowler in the first over of an innings in any PSL match, beating the previous 21-run joint-record set by Imran Khalid and Mohammad Nawaz. Here is a look at most runs conceded by bowlers in the first over of a PSL innings in history.

Most Runs Conceded by a Bowler in 1st over in an Innings in PSL:

Naeem and Emon mount 86 in just five overs

Opening the innings in a 13-over rain-curtailed PSL 2026 game, Mohammad Naeem and Parvez Hossain Emon started off with a burgeoning 86-run partnership in just five overs. While the duo saw off Peter Siddle for just six runs, the two cricketers pounded Mohammad Wasim, Mohammad Nawaz as well as Faisal Akram in their opening overs with 16, 19 and 19 runs respectively.

After leaking 26 runs off his first over, Muhammad Ismail eventually trapped Parvez Hossain Emon for 45 from just 19 deliveries in the sixth over of the match.

All in all, the Lahore Qalandars still raced to 123-1 after the first seven overs, i.e., around the halfway stage of the innings.

Match faces delayed start due to rains

The Lahore Qalandars vs Multan Sultans match faced a delayed start at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore owing to rains at the venue. With several fans speculating to get another washout this PSL 2026 season, officials eventually commenced the proceedings and reduced the match to a 13-overs-a-side game.

Multan Sultans, under the leadership of Ashton Turner, is yet to lose a single game this season. The Lahore Qalandars, on the other hand, is playing without senior opener Fakhar Zaman as he is currently serving his two-match ban owing to “ball-tampering”.
