Karachi Kings sneaked into the HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 semi-finals by eliminating the two-time former champions Islamabad United from the tournament with a four-wicket win here at an overly-quiet National Stadium on Saturday.
Karachi not only firmly shut the doors on United — who had won the inaugural PSL in 2016 at Dubai and replicated that achievement at this very ground two years ago — but also booked themselves a second-placed spot in Tuesday’s second semi-finals in Lahore.
Chasing a somewhat moderate target of 137, Karachi Kings got over the line with four balls to spare when Umaid Asif slammed Rumman Raees Khan to the mid-off fence. Karachi’s fifth triumph carried their tally of points to 11, while Islamabad bowed out after crashing to a sixth defeat from 10 fixtures.
Yeh hai karachi
But withour crowd all the matches r just boring and not giving any joy
Nice to hear that… inshallah karachi will be a champion
I supported Islamabad United. Heartbroken. Shadab isn’t a good captain
Peshawer zalmi owner was happy too much as he is the owner of karachi kings
