In reply, David Warner reminded everyone of his class, leading the charge for Karachi with a composed 60 off 47 balls. Despite a mid-innings collapse, Khushdil Shah’s unbeaten 23 ensured the Kings crossed the finish line.
Karachi Kings’ latest win keeps them firmly in the race for the top two spots, while Peshawar Zalmi’s margin for error shrinks even further. With the Karachi leg now over, the PSL 2025 action will shift to Multan, where the Sultans will aim to make their first positive impression on the standings against Lahore Qalandars.
