PSL 10: Lahore Qalandars crush Karachi Kings to secure second consecutive win

Lahore Qalandars on Tuesday crushed Karachi Kings by 65 runs in the sixth match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 at Karachi's National Bank Stadium, securing their second consecutive win of the season.

As per the details, Lahore won the toss and elected to bat first. Fakhar Zaman led the charge with a brilliant 76 off 47 balls, smashing six fours and five sixes. He was well supported by Daryl Mitchell, who played a blazing knock of 75 off just 41 deliveries, including seven fours and three sixers. Sam Billings chipped in with a quick 19 off 10 balls while Sikandar Raza added 10 off 5 to help Lahore reach 201 for 6 in their 20 overs.

Karachi Kings' bowlers struggled to contain the flow of runs. Hasan Ali was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets while Abbas Afridi took one wicket. 

Chasing 202, Karachi had a disastrous start, losing two batters in the very first over as Shaheen Afridi got David Warner and James Vince's wickets to put Kings on the back foot right away.

They never recovered and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Khushdil Shah was the top scorer with 39 off 27 balls while Hasan Ali contributed 27 off 25. Tim Seifert and Shan Masood scored 18 each, and Adam Milne added a quick 16 off 7, but it wasn't enough. Karachi Kings were bowled out for 136 in 19.1 overs.

Lahore's bowlers delivered a clinical performance. Shaheen and Rishad Hossain took three wickets each, while Sikandar Raza grabbed 2. Asif Afridi and Haris Rauf chipped in with one wicket apiece to seal a convincing win.
