In the post-match presentation, James Vince praised his partner Khushdil Shah for their key partnership and mentioned that the batting-friendly pitch gave him confidence. He revealed his plan was to stay at the crease and guide the chase to ensure a comfortable win.

“Quite a tough chase, but when we batted we realised how nice a surface this was. Luckily, whenever we needed a boundary we found it. The way Khushdil batted was also great. When the rate gets beyond 15-16, the game gets away from you at any game.”

“So the way Khushdil attacked CJ when the rate was climbing was amazing. I did the hard work so would have been nice to stay till the end, but we bat quite deep and that helps in chases like this,” said the English batter.

What happened in the match?

Karachi won the toss and opted to field, but the Sultans made the most of it, with captain Mohammad Rizwan scoring an unbeaten 105 off 63 balls. Kamran Ghulam (36 off 19) and Michael Bracewell (44 off 17) helped them reach a total of 234/3.

In reply, Karachi’s chase got off to a shaky start, but Vince turned the tide with a brilliant 101 off 43 balls, supported by Khushdil’s 60 off 37. Despite Akif Javed taking three wickets for Multan, Karachi emerged victorious by 4 wickets in a thrilling final over.
