Multan Sultans Triumph Over Karachi Kings by 20 Runs
The Multan Sultans have secured their spot in the HBL PSL 9 playoffs as the first team following their victory over the Karachi Kings at National Bank Stadium, Karachi, on Sunday night. After posting a score of 189-3 in their innings, Multan limited Karachi to 169-7, clinching the win by 20 runs.
Karachi Kings’ right-arm fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani struck early in just the second over, dismissing Reeza Hendricks (13 off eight balls, including three fours) caught by Mir Hamza at deep third. The Sultans had opted to bat first after winning the toss.
Mohammad Rizwan and Usman Khan formed a formidable second-wicket partnership, amassing an impressive 148 runs and stabilizing Multan’s position following an early wicket.
Usman, who joined Rizwan at the crease in the second over, aggressively targeted Muzarabani and Mohammad Nawaz during the powerplay, helping the team surpass the 50-run mark within six overs.
In the final five overs, Multan added 51 runs to their total, with a particularly explosive 15th over where they scored 20 runs, thanks to two sixes and a boundary. Rizwan also reached his 63rd T20 half-century during this over with two boundaries.
Blessing Muzarabani ended Rizwan’s innings on the first ball of the 18th over, dismissing him for 58 off 44 balls, which included five fours. The subsequent batsman, Iftikhar Ahmed, managed only a run-a-ball four before being caught by Muhammad Irfan Khan off Hasan Ali’s delivery in the penultimate over.
In the final over, Usman Khan celebrated his second HBL PSL century with a six, finishing with a stellar 106 not out off 59 balls, featuring ten boundaries and five sixes. He was named Player of the Match for his performance.
Hasan Ali took one wicket, while Muzarabani claimed two. In response, Karachi Kings opener Tim Seifert was run out in the second over as they chased a target of 190.
