Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars, 6th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's all for today then. It will be a repeat of the 2024 PSL final tomorrow, as Islamabad United take on Multan Sultans. Join us for that one, bye for now.

Shaheen Afridi: This was a good performance, the foreign players performed and everyone looks in good touch. I've been following the same plan for the first over, I trust my full length. Rishad has performed well for Bangladesh, he is a future star for them. He's doing brilliantly in the middle overs, getting rid of their middle order. Fakhar has been doing this for 9 years now for Lahore Qalandars. It wasn't a very easy wicket to bat on today.

Fakhar Zaman | Player of the Match: As an opener, when you score runs the chances of the team increases. I'm lucky that whenever I score 50+, we generally win. This was a 170 kind of wicket, but Mitchell played really well in the end. And credit also goes to the bowlers. MY job is of an aggressor, but we lost two wickets early and this pitch wasn't too easy. So I wanted to build a partnership and take it deep. I was lucky that a catch of mine got dropped. If you stay till long, then scoring runs becomes easy. It was tough to return after injury, I don't still feel fully fit and playing with my full freedom. It is tough to return and play straight after injury, but I'm glad to keep performing. Credit the Pakistan cricket board as well for the way they have taken care of me.

David Warner: (On where the game was lost) Losing those wickets in the powerplay, you’d probably still take the game on but it didn’t work out. One of those games you forget about. If we didn’t get out to bad bowling, there’s a lot of positives from it. Thought there would be a lot more dew, 200 was par. If we caught a bit better and bowled well, it would’ve been easier. I’m loving the energy of this group, everyone’s trying their best both on and off the field. Absolutely loving my time here.

23:34 Local Time, 18:34 GMT, 00:04 IST: Karachi Kings have done well to nearly play 20 overs here, after they were 50/7 at one stage. The hosts chased down a massive target against Multan earlier in the competition, but today were found wanting against Lahore Qalandars. Skipper Shaheen struck twice in the first over, getting rid of Warner and James Vince. Tim Seifert was a bit sketchy and fell against the spin of Asif Afridi. Post the powerplay, Rishad Hossain was lethal as he got rid of Shan Masood, Abbad Afridi and Ifran Khan Niazi. Sikandar Raza picked up a wicket as well to kill the contest. The Karachi Kings got some late entertainment through Hasan Ali and Khusdil Shah, who scored a few boundaries to make the margin of defeat sound less embarrassing. In the end, Shaheen and Haris Rauf returned to clear out the tail, as Lahore picked up a big win.
