Rizwan smashed unbeaten 110 runs off 64 while his opening partner Shan Masood was removed for 51. Rilee Rossouw made 29 runs as the Kings could take only two wickets in the 20 over match. The team hovering at the top of the points table looks to rout rejuvenated Karachi Kings who only managed to win a single game after back-to-back blows in the ongoing Twenty20 league.
Rizwan created history as he took only 18 balls to get to his hundred from fifty, completing his century in just 60 balls. It is the fastest 50 to 100 acceleration by any Pakistani batter in PSL history. Rizwan has continued his rich vein of form as he now has six fifties and a century under his belt in his last 10 T20 innings.
This is Rizwan’s second century in T20 cricket and is also the second ton in this season of HBL PSL. Rizwan is currently the highest run-scorer in this season with 329 runs at an average of 109.66 and a strike rate of 144.
Multan Sultans are on a roll after losing their opening encounter. The Sultans have won three matches in a row. On the other hand, Karachi has lost three matches and need to make a comeback soon if they need to be alive in the competition.
Kings and Sultans have locked horns 11 times in the flagship tournament where the Multan Sultans have managed to win five games, and the Kings aced on four occasions. In a recent development, Karachi Kings star pacer Muhammad Amir suffered an injury, a blow for already struggling side.
