During the 6th match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings at the National Stadium in Karachi, the Qalandars’ opening batter Fakhar Zaman (106 off 60 deliveries) came up with an absolute masterclass of an innings to bring up his maiden PSL century.
Fakhar’s innings, which was laden with 12 fours and 4 sixes, only came to an end with his team requiring mere 7 runs in as many deliveries.
Earlier, the Karachi Kings, led by skipper Babar Azam (41 off 33), put on 84 runs for the first wicket alongside Sharjeel Khan (60 off 39), but the rest of his batters failed to capitalize on the start in the latter half of their innings, as they were reduced to a total of 170/7 in their 20 Overs. Lahore’s Haris Rauf, was the pick of the bowlers, picking up 3 wickets in his 4 Overs, while giving away 33 runs.
