Vince hits century as Kings beat Sultans in PSL
- Published
James Vince hit 101 as Karachi Kings chased 235 to beat Multan Sultans by seven wickets in the Pakistan Super League.
Vince struck 14 fours and four sixes in his 43-ball innings, putting on 242 with Khushdil Shah before he was run out by Chris Jordan on the brink of victory.
Mohammad Rizwan hit an unbeaten 105 from the top of the order for Multan as they posted 234-3 having been put into bat.
The Multan captain hit nine fours and five sixes in his 63-ball innings.
The 32-year-old lost his opening partner Shai Hope, caught behind off Hassan Ali for eight, in the sixth over, but his own blistering start had Multan at 55-1.
After Usman Khan was stumped off Khushdil Shah, Rizwan posted partnerships of 63 with Kamran Ghulam (36 off 19) and 89 with Michael Bracewell (44 not out off 17) as Multan set their opponents a challenging target.
Karachi were 52-3 after Tim Seifert and Shan Masood fell to successive balls from Akif Javed.
But the momentum swung when Khushdil joined Vince in the seventh over, with the pair batting together until the 18th when the former England batter finally departed.
Khushdil was bowled by Akif, who took 3-41, two balls later but Irfan Khan Niazi and Abbas Afridi saw their side home.
