PSL 2022: Babar Azam’s Karachi Kings finish last after 8th straight loss as Mohammad Rizwan powers Multan Sultans to win

Pakistan T20 skipper Babar Azam’s Karachi Kings registered their eighth successive loss in PSL 2022 to finish at the bottom of the points table.

Multan Sultans skipper Mohammad Rizwan led from the front as his side overcame a stiff challenge from the winless Karachi Kings to register their seventh win out of eight round matches in Match No. 23 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday (February 16) night. The Sultans were set a 175-run target, Shan Masood and Rizwan provided their side a 100-run start to the chase.

Babar Azam-led Kings, however, remained in the game as their bowlers kept a check on the Sultans’ scoring rate. By the time Shan (45 off 41, six fours) was dismissed by Mir Hamza – 15th  over, the asking rate had climbed past 13 runs per over. Rizwan (76 off 56, eight fours) upped the ante after Shan’s departure with five fours in a space of seven balls.
