PSL 2026: Sometimes, a single moment can define an entire match, and that’s exactly what happened in this PSL 2026 clash between Quetta Gladiators and Multan Sultans. Rilee Rossouw and Hasan Nawaz pulled off an incredible relay catch to dismiss Steven Smith, leaving everyone watching in disbelief.
Smith was in full control at that stage, building his innings nicely and bringing up a well-made half-century. It looked like he was set to guide his team home before the game suddenly turned.
PSL 2026: Rilee Rossouw Shows Brilliant Awareness at the Boundary
The big moment came in the 14th over. Smith went for a powerful slog sweep towards deep midwicket, and for a second, it seemed like the ball would sail over for six.
Rossouw, however, had other plans. He chased it down near the boundary and grabbed the ball, but quickly realised he was about to step over the rope. Thinking on his feet, he released the ball back into play mid-air, keeping the chance alive.
It was a split-second decision that made all the difference, turning a likely boundary into an opportunity.
Hasan Nawaz Finishes a Team Effort
With the ball still in play, Hasan Nawaz stayed composed and moved into position. He completed the catch with ease, wrapping up a stunning piece of teamwork.
The umpires reviewed the effort to be sure, but the replays only confirmed how well it was executed. Smith had to walk back after scoring 53, and Quetta Gladiators suddenly had a reason to believe again.

Multan Sultans Stay Calm to Seal the Win
Even after that momentum-shifting moment, Multan Sultans didn’t lose their grip on the game. They chased down the target comfortably, winning by six wickets thanks to a steady effort from Shan Masood and the rest of the batting lineup.
Earlier in the match, Quetta Gladiators had put up 166 for seven, with Saud Shakeel and Bevon Jacobs making important contributions. But in the end, it wasn’t enough.
While the result went in Multan’s favour, the Rossouw and Nawaz relay catch will be remembered as one of the standout moments of PSL 2026. It was a reminder of how much fielding has evolved, with skill, awareness, and teamwork all coming together in one unforgettable play.
