Chasing a target of 183 runs, Kusal Mendis played a pivotal role with an unbeaten 80 runs off 43 balls, while Farhan Yousaf contributed with 58 runs off 36 balls. The duo formed a crucial partnership of 119 runs after Zalmi found themselves at 67 for 3 in the eighth over. Their steady accumulation of runs, including a powerful finish, allowed them to secure victory with seven balls to spare. Karachi Kings, who batted first, managed 182 runs, largely thanks to Jason Roy's impressive 85 runs off 51 balls. However, their innings faltered after a promising partnership between Roy and Azam Khan.
