In a high-scoring match where Karachi Kings were tasked with chasing down a daunting target of 235 runs, James Vince played a pivotal role. Despite losing early wickets, Vince's remarkable innings, which included a 101-run knock off 43 balls, paved the way for Karachi Kings to secure a thrilling victory with four balls to spare. This century marked Vince's seventh T20 hundred and his first in the PSL.

On the opposing side, Multan Sultans' captain Mohammad Rizwan also showcased his batting prowess by scoring a century, supported by Kamran Ghulam and Michael Bracewell, leading his team to a competitive total of 234/5 in 20 overs.

Reacting to the chase, James Vince said, "Quite a tough chase, but when we batted we realised how nice a surface this was. The way Khushdil batted was also great. When the rate gets beyond 15-16, the game gets away from you at any game. 

“So the way Khushdil attacked CJ when the rate was climbing was amazing. I did the hard work so would have been nice to stay till the end, but we bat quite deep and that helps in chases like this.”
