In a high-scoring match, the Karachi Kings were tasked with chasing 235 difficult goals, with James Vince playing a key role. Despite losing the early wicket, Vince’s outstanding innings, including 43 shots in 101, paved the way for the Karachi Kings to get four for an exciting victory. This century marks Vince’s seventh t20 t20 and his first in PSL.
On the opposite side, Multans captain Mohammad Rizwan also scored a century to gain batting ability with the support of Kamran Ghulam and Michael Bracewell, giving his team a 234/5 competition in 20 games totaling 234/5.
James Vince’s reaction to the chase said: “A tough chase, but when we do the hit, we realize how good this surface is. The way Khushdil beats is also great. The game is far away from you in any game when it’s over 15-16.
“So, the way Khushdil attacked CJ when the speed of the climb was amazing. I did the hard work and was happy until the end, but we were very deep and it helped chase such a chase.”
