The crowd went up as Islamabad's spinners turned the screws--Shadab Khan was all class, tossing it up with guile, while Imad's four tight overs went for just 17! Khushdil Shah (16* off 18) and Irfan Khan (5 off 7) are trying to dig in, but with the pressure mounting and the scoreboard crawling, Karachi need something special--and fast!
KRK: 89/4 (15)
Well, that was... something. Karachi Kings finish with 128 on a surface that looked slow.
Asked to bat first, the Kings never quite got going. Losing David Warner and James Vince inside the powerplay put them on the back foot -- and they never found a way to walk forward again. The United spinners were crafty, the pitch was sluggish, and Karachi라이브 바카라 middle-order just couldn’t figure it out.
Yes, Abbas Afridi, the lower-order pacer, came in and gave United a surprise scare. A 9-ball 24 blitz featuring three towering sixes and a last-over four added a bit of late drama.
Over to Islamabad United now.
Farhan is in dazzling touch. After a flurry of fours and a towering six off Mir Hamza, he라이브 바카라 already on 30 off 17 balls. Azam Khan, despite taking a blow to the helmet early on, has settled in at the other end with 4* off 6.
The pair has stitched an unbeaten 34-run stand in just 3.5 overs, and Islamabad United are cruising at 34/0 in their pursuit of 129.
ISU: 34/0 (3.5)
Shadab Khan has taken charge of the chase with some well-timed strokes that brought up a 50-run partnership with Azam Khan. The duo has stitched together a composed 51-run stand off 43 balls, steadying United라이브 바카라 innings after the early loss of openers Farhan and Munro -- both dismissed in Hasan Ali라이브 바카라 fiery fifth over.
At the 12-over mark, United sit comfortably at 89/2, needing just 40 more runs at a run rate of 5.
ISU: 89/2 (12)
And that's it! Islamabad United have done it again, securing a 6-wicket win with 17.1 overs.
It was a well-controlled chase, with Shadab Khan's 47 playing the crucial role. The Kings' total of 128/7 never really seemed enough, as the visitors got off to a strong start with Sahibzada Farhan's quickfire 30. Azam Khan and Shadab라이브 바카라 partnership took them across the line with ease. I
Another dominant performance, and Islamabad stay at the top of the PSL 2025 table!
KRK: 128/7 (20)
ISU: 129/4 (17.1)
Shadab Khan earns the Player of the Match honour for his superb knock of 47 off 40 balls. In the post match interview, he said, "We had picked our squad according to the conditions. The pitch didn't behave as per our liking. It didn't seam much, but we assessed it pretty well. Our openers gave us a good start in the powerplay, made it difficult for the opposition. Playing across the line wasn't easy on this wicket as the ball was keeping low. Our batters played well according to me. We need to improve our energy on the field. We have been playing good cricket, so we don't need to change much. The squad is ready, any player can get a chance in the upcoming games."
With this win, Islamabad United remain unbeaten and stay on top of the table with 8 points from 4 matches. Meanwhile, Karachi Kings slip to third place with 2 wins from their 4 outings.
Islamabad United will next face the winless Multan Sultans on April 23, while the Karachi Kings will take on Peshawar Zalmi on April 22.
