Lahore: Multan Sultans thrashed Karachi Kings in match number 23 of the Pakistan Super League's (PSL) seventh edition at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.

Karachi Kings set 175-run target for Multan Sultans for the loss of six wickets in 20 overs with all-rounder Imad Wasim scoring playing a quick-fire 32 runs not-out knock off just 16 balls after Kings skipper Babar Azam decided to bat first.

Karachi, who are going through a terrible PSL 2022 campaign having lost all the seven matches didn't have a good start in today's game either as Babar got out for just two runs to a brilliant delivery from left-arm pacer Rumman Raees.

Qasim Akram and Rohail Nazir were removed when Karachi had scored 118 runs.

Earlier, Kings won the toss and choose to bat against Multan Sultans. The Kings will try to find some comfort when they take on relaxed Multan Sultans.

The Babar Azam-led Karachi Kings are already out of contention in the tournament after creating an unwanted record of seven consecutive defeats. Multan Sultan, on the other hand, have already confirmed their place in the playoffs with 12 points from seven games.

The Kings will be hoping for some relief before the tournament officially ends for them. No team has lost eight matches in the league stages of the six-team PSL, and the Kings, surely, wouldn’t want to be the one.

Squads:

Karachi Kings: Babar Azam, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Nabi, Joe Clarke, Sharjeel Khan, Aamer Yamin, Chris Jordan, Lewis Gregory, Umaid Asif, Ian Cockbain, Rohail Nazir, Muhammad Imran, Faisal Akram, Qasim Akram, Talha Ahsan, Tom Lammonby, Usman Shinwari, Sahibzada Farhan, Jordan Thompson and Mohammad Taha Khan

Multan Sultans: Mohammad Rizwan, Rilee Rossouw, Sohaib Maqsood, Imran Tahir, Shan Masood, Khushdil Shah, Shahnawaz Dhani, Tim David, Rumman Raees, Asif Afridi, Anwar Ali, Imran Khan Sr., Abbas Afridi, Amir Azmat, Blessing Muzarabani, Ihsanullah, David Willey, Rizwan Hussain and Johnson Charles.
