–Karachi Kings 151 for 0 (Sharjeel 74*, Azam 69*) beat Lahore Qalandars 150 for 5 (Akhtar 68, Iqbal 2-15, Asif 2-34) by ten wicketsKarachi Kings snuffed out Lahore Qalandars’ resurgence with a clinical performance to put themselves back in consideration for the playoffs of PSL 2020. Openers Babar Azam and Sharjeel Khan barely appeared to get out of the third gear, but that didn’t stop them from overwhelming the Lahore bowlers completely. Umaid Asif took the key wickets of Fakhar Zaman and Dunk kneecapping Lahore’s big-hitting prowess, while Chirs Jordan’s accuracy at the death ensured Lahore managed only 150. He put down a simple chance Sharjeel offered during the powerplay when the Karachi opener had just scored 18. Both teams should qualify with one more win, though Karachi have two games to get there, while Lahore’s final game is likely a must-win.
