Karachi Beat Lahore to Climb PSL 10 Table

Karachi Kings defeated Lahore Qalandars in a high-stakes rain-hit clash at Gaddafi Stadium, chasing 168 in a revised 15-over contest. Lahore had posted 160/8 after Fakhar Zaman (51) and Mohammad Naeem (65) gave them a flying start. Abbas Afridi’s four-wicket burst halted their charge post-rain.

In response, Karachi started strong with Tim Seifert and David Warner before a slight collapse. Irfan Khan Niazi smashed 48 off 21 balls, guiding Karachi home with three balls left. Mohammad Nabi also chipped in with a vital 15*.

This win pushed Karachi to 3rd on the table, tied with Islamabad on 10 points but behind on NRR. Lahore’s playoff chances now hang by a thread as they become Peshawar Zalmi’s main rivals for the final spot.
