South African batsman AB de Villiers has admitted that the quality of cricket at the Pakistan Super League (PSL) “is from the top drawer”.

Ps. Super game from “my” MOM @David_Wiese.”

De Villiers led his side to a record 201-run chase against Multan Sultans.
The win came in spectacular fashion with South African AB de Villiers and David Weise tearing apart the Multan Sultans bowling in the final five overs of the match. While it was Weise who smashed the maximum of the last ball to seal the win, it was a splendid knock by de Villiers which brought Lahore to within nine runs of victory in the last over.
Following the match, de Villiers took to Twitter to praise the quality of cricket.
