PSL 10: Karachi Kings vs Islamabad United full match highlights

Islamabad United (ISL) is looking extremely dangerous on the field as they remain undefeated after 4 PSL 10 matches.

ISL, batting second, secured 2 more points with a 6-wicket victory and 17 balls to spare. 

Toss and the first innings 

After monitoring the Karachi pitch, Islamabad United skipper Shadab Khan decided to bowl first after winning the toss. Davinder Warner, former Australia international and Karachi Kings captain and opener, is having a tough time in Pakistan. Against United, he lost his wicket early; his opening partner, Tim Seifert, tried to hold one side of the wicket, which resulted in a 30-run innings, facing 37 balls. Apart from Tim, Saad Baig, with 20 runs, was the second-highest scorer for the Karachi-based franchise. ISL skipper Shadab Khan produced the best bowling figure of the night, a couple of wickets in his 4-over quota supported by an economy rate of 4.25. 

Second innings 

Without any notable trouble, United got their desired result with the help of Shadab Khan (47), Azam Khan (31), and Sahibzada Farhan (30). The surface was not the easiest one to rotate in a swift manner. Hasan Ali, with 2 scalps, was the best performer with the ball for Karachi Kings.

Post-match reactions

David Warner (Karachi Kings skipper): "The target was challenging; the ball's movement made it tough early on. We were about 20 runs short of a competitive total. We need to change our batting approach. Hasan Ali as the spearhead of our bowling attack—excellent. We need to build a partnership in the first six overs."

Shadab Khan (Islamabad United captain): "We made plans after the draft, including bringing in Mohammad Nawaz. Azam Khan and Sahibzada Farhan provided us a good start. Playing on this wicket required adjustments, particularly playing straight due to the low bounce. We need to improve our energy level on the field and better execution in both batting and bowling."
