James Vince, Khushdil Shah Power Sultans to Big Chase

Karachi Kings posted 234/3 with captain Mohammad Rizwan scoring a superb 105 from 63 balls. But despite the big score, Sultans didn’t panic. James Vince and Khushdil Shah added 142 runs for the fifth wicket. Khushdil remained unbeaten on 60 from 37 balls as Multan reached the target in 19.2 overs. Vince, while praising Khushdil, said the pitch was good for batting and they found boundaries at the right time.

Karachi Kings are now third on the points table and will face Lahore Qalandars next. Multan Sultans, currently placed fifth, will look to bounce back when they take on Islamabad United.
