Reacting to the United's victory, Imad Wasim said, "I think 200 is a very good score but Azam played very well and he took the game away from us. Our bowling for the last five or six games has not been happening,"
He said, "Sometimes you have to give credit to other batsmen. Azam played really well and hit it all around the ground. But the death bowling needed to be better,".
Imad also said, "We just have to sit and talk again,".
"We didn't execute our plans. I'm upset and sad but this is cricket. Life goes on," he added.
Batting first, Karachi Kings had set the target of 202 runs after winning the toss. The Kings had thought that batting first would give them a boost to win the match but Azam Khan turned the tables through his amazing performance.
