Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Karachi Kings vs Multan Sultans, Pakistan Super League 2023, 14th Match

5:55pm Right. That will be that from us for this game. But do join us in an hour's time as the Lahore Qalandars take on Peshawar Zalmi. Until next time, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of Sudeep, Venkat and everyone at ESPNcricinfo. Goodbye, and take care!

Tabraiz Shamsi is the Player of the Match for his spell of 4-0-18-3.

5:40pm Wow, that was one-way traffic towards the end. The Sultans began their run-chase well, with Masood and Rizwan getting them off to a decent start. But once the spinners came into play, the visitors just did not have any answers. Imad, Malik and Shamsi combined for eight wickets and brought the run-scoring to a standstill. Akif Javed also picked up a couple of crucial wickets, which included the scalp of Masood.

As for the Sultans, well, their shot selection and decision-making was not great. They almost always chose the wrong options against the spinners and were made to pay. This win means that the Kings now have four points on the board, and they also climb up to third on the points table. The Sultans, meanwhile, will now be looking over their shoulders, with Islamabad United just two points behind, despite having played a couple of games less.

16.3

Shoaib Malik to Abbas Afridi, OUT, that will be that! Back of a length delivery on off stump that keeps low and spins back into the batter. Abbas has a massive swish across the line and misses as the ball pings into the pads, right in front of the stumps. Abbas has reviewed this because, well, why not! No bat involved, and Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have thundered into the stumps! The Kings win by 66 runs and storm back into contention!

Abbas Afridi lbw b Shoaib Malik 2 (14m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00

16.2

Shoaib Malik to Abbas Afridi, no run, safe! Length delivery outside off stump. Abbas has a swipe at it and mistimes it so badly that the ball lands well in front of long on

Sanyia: "It's good to lose a match before the final stage Now MS has plenty of time to analyse themselves " -- That is one way to look at a defeat...

16.1

Shoaib Malik to Abbas Afridi, no run, very full delivery on middle and off stump. Abbas gets his bat down in time and digs it out towards the bowler

Malik to bowl out. Can he bag his third?

15.6

Akif Javed to Ihsanullah, no run, full delivery just outside off stump. Ihsanullah swings like a rusty gate and misses the ball by a country mile

15.5

Akif Javed to Ihsanullah, no run, banged into the track on leg stump. Ihsanullah picks up the length a little late and ducks underneath it hurriedly. Giving him a taste of his own medicine!

Atif: "Spinners bowled 11 overs just giving 68 runs at 6.18 RPO with 7 wickets. Just amazing"

15.4

Akif Javed to Ihsanullah, no run, back of a length delivery on middle and off stump. Ihsanullah backs away and has an awkward stab at it. No surprise he did not make contact

Ihsanullah is the last man in

15.3

Akif Javed to Anwar Ali, OUT, Anwar bites the dust! Full and slanted across outside off stump. Anwar almost swings himself off his feet but loses his shape completely in the process. Slices it horribly towards deep point, and the fielder makes no mistake! The Kings one wicket away from a massive victory now!

Anwar Ali c Aamer Yamin b Akif Javed 12 (29m 12b 0x4 1x6) SR: 100.00

15.2

Abbas Afridi in at 10. Slip in place

14.4

Imad Wasim to Hosein, OUT, caught at long on! Slowed up a touch on a full length at the stumps. Akeal tries to hit it into next week but is beaten in the flight. He has to reach out, meaning that he chalks it miles up into the air. Cutting settles himself at long on and does the rest!

AJ Hosein c Cutting b Imad Wasim 2 (5m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

14.3

Imad Wasim to Hosein, no run, full delivery outside off stump. Akeal slices it towards extra cover and wanders down the track, looking for the single. His partner sends him back and he makes his ground just in time

14.2

Imad Wasim to Hosein, 2 runs, full delivery hung outside off stump. Akeal walks across his stumps and heaves it towards long on for a couple of runs

Akeal Hosein to try his luck now

Well, the tide has swung firmly in the Kings' favour. Barring anything extraordinary, they should get the job done from here. As long as Anwar is at the crease, though, the Sultans will believe, despite the predicament they find themselves in

14.1

Imad Wasim to Brathwaite, OUT, oh my word, that is a very special delivery! Given a hint of air on a length on middle and leg stump. The ball grips in the surface and then snakes away. Brathwaite, by then, has closed his bat face and watches in disbelief as the ball rips past the outside edge and smashes into off stump!

CR Brathwaite b Imad Wasim 1 (6m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00

END OF OVER:
14 | 7 Runs 1 Wkt | MS: 95/6 (73 runs required from 36 balls, RR: 6.78, RRR: 12.16)

13.6

Shamsi to Anwar Ali, SIX, what a shot! Flighted into the slot on middle and off stump. Anwar plants his front foot, gets under it and caresses it over the long off fence!

13.5

Shamsi to Brathwaite, 1 run, full delivery outside off stump. Brathwaite gets a massive stride forward and nurdles it into the off side for a single

13.4

Shamsi to Brathwaite, no run, back of a length delivery on middle and off stump that barely bounces. Brathwaite goes deep into his crease and just about keeps it out

13.3

Shamsi to Brathwaite, no run, huge appeal, and given! But hang on.....Brathwaite has reviewed this quite quickly. Full delivery on leg stump that skids through after pitching. Brathwaite seems to play down the wrong line as the ball raps him on the front pad, fairly in front of the stumps. There is no inside edge, but Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have spun past leg stump! Despair for Shamsi, momentary respite for Brathwaite!

Right. Can Brathwaite arrest this slide? We have a review ongoing for an lbw.

13.2

Shamsi to Usama Mir, OUT, gone this time! Tossed up outside off stump, and this one is just out of Usama's hitting arc. He does not care, though, and continues swinging like a rusty gate. He is early into his swing and toe-ends it straight down Cutting's throat at long off!

Usama Mir c Cutting b Shamsi 10 (7m 6b 0x4 1x6) SR: 166.66

13.1

Shamsi to Usama Mir, no run, full delivery on middle and leg stump. Usama has a wild slog across the line and gets a bottom edge that Wade somehow manages to get a boot to

Shamsi to bowl out

END OF OVER:
13 | 12 Runs | MS: 88/5 (80 runs required from 42 balls, RR: 6.76, RRR: 11.42)
