Karachi Kings vs Multan Sultans Live: Awais Zafar and Josh Philippe Blitz Kings for 101/2 in 10 Overs

KARACHI: In a Match 28 of PSL 11, the Multan Sultans have set a blistering pace at the National Stadium, reaching 101/2 after the first 10 overs after being put in to bat by Karachi Kings’ stand-in skipper Moeen Ali.

The Kings’ stand-in captain Moeen Ali, filling in for the injured David Warner, won the toss and opted to bowl, hoping to exploit early moisture. The breakthrough came almost immediately when Khushdil Shah dismissed Steven Smith for a duck in the second over. However, this only paved the way for a blistering counter-attack from Josh Philippe, who struck a rapid 44 off 23 balls before being bowled by Khushdil in the 8th over.

Throughout the chaos, Muhammad Awais Zafar has remained the steady heartbeat of the innings. Rocking back to pull Hasan Ali for boundaries and working the gaps with composure, Zafar navigated the Powerplay and middle-over transitions effectively. By the end of the 10th over, Zafar had progressed to 30* off 22 deliveries, showing no signs of slowing down.

With the current run rate hovering above 10 per over and Awais Zafar still well-set at the crease, the Sultans are firmly in the driving seat to set a formidable target in this crucial playoff-race encounter.
