Islamabad United made a blazing start in this Karachi Kings vs Islamabad United live score chase, reaching 68 without loss in just 6.1 overs, putting Karachi Kings under immediate pressure while chasing 151.
Openers Devon Conway (20 off 13)* and Sameer Minhas (42 off 24)* completely dominated the powerplay, smashing boundaries at will and keeping the required rate well under control. Minhas, in particular, was aggressive from the start, striking nine boundaries in a rapid-fire innings.
Karachi Kings struggled to find breakthroughs despite rotating bowlers early. Mir Hamza (0/24) was the most economical, but Hasan Ali, Salman Agha, Khushdil Shah, and Adam Zampa all failed to make an impact in the opening spell. A review for Conway also went against Karachi, adding to their frustration.
With no wickets down and momentum fully in their favor, Islamabad United are firmly in control of the chase.
