Steve Smith, the biggest-money signing in the history of the Pakistan Super League, has opened his account with Multan Sultans in victorious fashion in Lahore.
The inexhaustible 36-year-old globetrotter, making his debut in his eighth different white-ball league in a seventh different country, scored a brisk 31 and was the only player to club three sixes as Australian-powered Multan beat Islamabad United on Saturday.
Played behind closed doors at the Gaddafi Stadium while Pakistan is in the grip of fuel shortages, there were no spectators allowed in to witness the bow of the superstar Smith, who was signed for an approximate $US500,000 ($A725,000) by the ambitious franchise.
