As for the match, Karachi's Azam Khan looked at his explosive best as he hammered a 34-ball 74 to propel his team to their third consecutive victory in HBL PSL 11. Azam's blitz helped Karachi overshadow Daryl Mitchell's 41-ball 65 as they successfully chased down a 184-run target against Rawalpindiz at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Azam's innings, which included his seventh half-century in the PSL, was well-supported by Warner before the Australian departed in the 16th over. Despite several dropped catches by the Pindiz fielders, Azam dominated the middle overs, reducing the equation to a manageable five runs needed off the final over.
Mohammad Abbas Afridi eventually sealed the win with a boundary, ensuring the Kings remained at the top of the points table, while Rawalpindiz's earlier efforts-led by half-centuries from Mitchell and Sam Billings-proved insufficient to halt Karachi's momentum.
