In PSL 2025, Karachi Kings defeated Multan Sultans in a run-fest game. The David Warner-led side got off to a spectacular start to the season by recording the third-highest successful chase in PSL history. For his knock, James Vince was awarded with hairdryer by the team. He was the most Reliable Player of the match, and his century helped the team win the game. The dressing room was seen in celebration after James Vince won the award.

With Khushdil Shah in the second half and Tim Seifert at the top, James Vince was the star of the show as he smashed his seventh century in T20 cricket, the joint-second highest by any English player in the format. He got value for his shots on a good wicket at the National Stadium and helped Karachi Kings surpass the target. Multan Sultan's spinners were unable to respond to the Kings' counterattack, as Vince reached his century off 42 deliveries while he and Khushdil stitched a fifth-wicket stand of 142 runs off just 67 balls.

Karachi Kings will be without Kane Williamson for a few games, but they have enough and more backups on the overseas roster to compete with other teams, as demonstrated on Sunday night. This was Vince's first tournament in the PSL. Early in the competition, Rizwan and the Sultans were happy with the hitters' form, although neither team's bowlers had an easy time.  

Mohammad Rizwan smashed a century

Multan scored 234-3 after being called to bat thanks to an unbeaten 105 at the top of the order by Mohammad Rizwan. During his innings of 63 balls, the Multan skipper blasted five sixes and nine fours. In the sixth over, the 32-year-old lost his opening partner Shai Hope after being caught behind off Hassan Ali for eight, but Multan was at 55-1 thanks to his explosive start. When the Sultans play the reigning champions in Rawalpindi the following day and the Kings play the Lahore Qalandars on Tuesday, April 15, Warner will be looking to build on his stellar start as PSL captain.
