It cannot be said when what will happen in cricket. Sometimes the teams get fussy about the target of 100 runs, and sometimes they easily cross the target of 200 runs. A similar scene was seen in the match played on Friday under PSL.
The match between Karachi Kings and Islamabad United on Friday saw explosive batting from both sides, but Islamabad United’s wicketkeeper Azam Khan stole the show with his superb batting. Azam hit 8 fours-4 sixes in 41 balls and scored an unbeaten 72 at a strike rate of more than 175. With the help of his blistering batting, Islamabad United won the match by six wickets with four balls to spare.

Created Havoc As Soon As It Arrived
Azam started creating havoc as soon as he arrived. He knew that the target was big. In such a situation, they came in the mood to create a stir from the beginning. During this, he hit many stylish sixes, but one of his sixes robbed the gathering in the corridors of cricket. This scene was seen in the 11th over. Azam, playing 11 runs in 13 balls, was in the mood to hit big.
Hit Six While Sitting
As Imad bowled the last ball of the over, Azam fell on his knees and hit a scintillating six over the square leg that stunned everyone. Such sixes are rarely seen. Along with Azam, Faheem Ashraf (41), Rassie van der Dussen (22), Alex Hales (34), Colin Munro (11), and Asif Ali played brilliant innings of 10 runs. Earlier, Karachi Kings captain Imad Wasim scored an unbeaten 92 off 54 balls, hitting 11 fours and two sixes, but his innings went in vain, and the team had to face defeat once again.
