Karachi Kings: Babar Azam (c), Sharjeel Khan, Joe Clarke, Muhammad Nabi, Tom Lammonby, Lewis Gregory, Aamer Yamin, Mouhammad Imran Jr, Mohammad Taha Khan, Umaid Asif, Muhammad Ilyas

Extra spin does it for Khushdil as Babar, who looked to heave the ball over the long-on boundary edged the ball towards the long-off fielder – Willey, who made no mistake and took an important catch.Khushdil Shah comes into the attack
Sharjeel attempted to slog the ball but failed to read the googly, allowing Shan Masood to grab an easy running catch at backward point.
Rossouw took the match with a spectacular stroke that cleared Umaid Asif’s stumps and hit him square leg for six. Then he folded his arms and continued the stance nonchalantly. It exuded a certain arrogance that the Sultans seem to possess in spades these days, while the Kings have none at all and are impatient for this campaign to conclude.
In T20 cricket, as is frequently the case, it was the penultimate over that revealed the true nature of the match. With a spectacular flip of the wrists, Khushdil Shah smacked Chris Jordan’s opening delivery for six over midwicket; remarkably, it was the first six the Sultans had struck all game. Nine would need to finish the last over after the second came two balls later and a boundary appeared in between.
