Imad Wasim played a captain's knock to take Karachi Kings to victory over Islamabad United this Sunday (March 1) in Match 14 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020.
The all-rounder blasted a 15-ball 32 not out as the Kings made a successful feast of the mammoth 184-run target with still more than an over to spare.

Apart from Imad, Alex Hales also came to the party, scoring a magnificent half-century (52) at No.3, and Cameron Delport (38) and Sharjeel Khan (38) made crucial thirties.
For Islamabad, captain Shabad Khan delivered an economical spell (0/23) but the rest of the attack, also featuring Dale Steyn (1/37), Rumman Raees (1/27) and Faheem Ashraf (0/47), failed to stop the run flow.
Earlier, a brilliant innings from opener Luke Ronchi (85), backed by in-form Shadab's fifty (54) in the middle-order, took the United to a massive total.
Imad (1/31) and Umer Khan (1/24) did well among the Kings' bowlers and ensured United batsmen don't run away with the game in the first half.
