Kings vs Rawalpindiz live: Muhammad Waseem shines as Karachi Kings reach 52/1

Karachi Kings, elected to field first, saw Muhammad Waseem play a quickfire 23 off 11 balls with two boundaries and two sixes before being dismissed by Naseem Shah in the 2.5th over. David Warner remained unbeaten on 5 off 9 balls, while Salman Agha contributed 23 off 17 deliveries, helping stabilize the innings.

Extras added 1 run, taking the total to 52/1 in the first 6 overs, with the powerplay completed in 5.4 overs. The batting lineup yet to come includes Saad Baig, Moeen Ali, Azam Khan, Khushdil Shah, Abbas Afridi, Hasan Ali, Adam Zampa, and Mir Hamza.

On the bowling side, Naseem Shah picked up Waseem’s wicket, while Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Amir Khan, and Cole McConchie bowled economically but failed to make further breakthroughs in the powerplay.

Karachi Kings now aim to accelerate in the middle overs while maintaining wickets in hand to chase Rawalpindiz’s target of 198.
