Karachi Kings lose again as Mohammad Rizwan steers Multan Sultans to victory

Lahore: Karachi Kings 174-6, Multan Sultans 176-3 - Multan Sultans won by seven wickets

Karachi Kings remain in danger of losing every single game in their Pakistan Super League season after they were comfortably beaten by the power-packing Multan Sultans.

Karachi have now lost all seven of their matches so far in PSL7 and have three remaining to attempt to save face.

Their problem on this occasion was posting a target which was far too modest against a Multan side which has been scoring runs for fun.

Joe Clarke made a 29-ball 40 and Imad Wasim clubbed 32 in 16 deliveries towards the end of the innings, but otherwise Karachi's scoring rates were not explosive enough to test the Sultans' chase.

And their total of 174 for 6 proved to be wholly inadequate, as Multan were able to stroll to victory with seven wickets and three balls in hand.

Mohammad Rizwan was the star of the show for the league leaders. The wicketkeeper batsman struck 76 from 56 balls, sharing in an opening stand worth 100 in 14.2 overs with Shan Masood (45).

Mir Hamza impressed with the ball for Karachi but his teammates were less effective. Chris Jordan went for 50 in his four overs, while Umaid Asif's 3.3 overs cost 41.
