Defending champions Islamabad United continued their dominant run in the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) with a convincing seven-wicket victory over Karachi Kings at the National Stadium, Karachi on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Opting to bowl first, United’s bowlers delivered a disciplined performance to restrict Karachi Kings to a modest 127\/8 in 20 overs. In reply, United chased down the target with 17 balls to spare, securing their fourth consecutive win in the tournament.<\/p>\n

In stark contrast to the Kings’ struggles with the bat, Islamabad United began their chase with intent, led by the in-form Sahibzada Farhan, who blazed his way to 30 off just 18 balls, striking five boundaries and a six.<\/p>\n

His brisk innings propelled United to 34 in quick time before a stunning catch by David Warner ended his stay, handing Karachi their first breakthrough. Hasan Ali struck again in the same over, clean bowling Colin Munro to momentarily pull United back.<\/p>\n

Despite the early blows, United remained in control. Azam Khan anchored the middle overs with a steady 31 off 30 deliveries, while skipper Shadab Khan played a captain’s knock, guiding the chase with a fluent 47 off 40, laced with five fours and two sixes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
