Multan Sultans<\/strong><\/a> continued their impressive streak in PSL 2024 with a convincing win over Karachi Kings. The match, held at the National Stadium on Sunday, saw Sultans secure their sixth victory in seven matches, sealing their spot in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by Usman Khan’s outstanding unbeaten century off just 59 balls and Mohammad Rizwan’s solid 58 off 44 deliveries, Sultans posted a challenging total of 189\/3.

However, Usman Khan’s aggressive batting ensured a strong start during the powerplay, with Sultans reaching 50\/1 after six overs. While Rizwan played a more reserved role, Usman continued to score boundaries, guiding their partnership past 50 as Sultans reached 87\/1 at the halfway mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usman reached his fifty off just 32 balls, followed by Rizwan reaching his milestone off 40 deliveries. Their partnership flourished, nearing the 150-run mark. Despite losing Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed, Usman remained unbeaten, smashing a remarkable century with 10 fours and 5 sixes.<\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Karachi Kings’ chase started on a shaky note, losing Tim Seifert and James Vince early. Shan Masood and Shoaib Malik attempted to stabilize the innings, but Masood’s dismissal left Kings struggling at 79\/3 halfway through their innings. Despite efforts from Malik and Leus du Plooy, Kings lost wickets in quick succession, eventually falling short as Sultans clinched a 20-run victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The win solidified Multan Sultans’ position at the top of the points table, reaffirming their status as a strong contender in the tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
