PSL 2025: Karachi Kings, got off to positive start to their campaign, securing a win over Multan Sultans at National Stadium on Saturday. Mohammad Rizwan led Multan Sultans from the front, scoring powering his side to 234 for 3 in their 20 overs after getting an invitation to bat first. However, opener James Vince scored a stellar hundred to power Karachi Kings to four wickets win.

Vince was adjudged 'Player of the Match' for his performance. Along with POTM, Vince also got 'Most Reliable Player of the Match' award in Karachi Kings' dressing room. However, the award was a hair dryer which attracted a lot of ridicule on social media. Check out the reactions here:

Talking about the game, Vince congratulated his teammates for the victory. "Quite a tough chase, but when we batted we realised how nice a surface this was. Luckily, whenever we needed a boundary we found it. The way Khushdil batted was also great. When the rate gets beyond 15-16, the game gets away from you at any game. So the way Khushdil (Shah) attacked CJ (Chris Jordan) when the rate was climbing was amazing. I did the hard work so would have been nice to stay till the end, but we bat quite deep and that helps in chases like this," said James Vince at the end of the match.

On the other hand, losing captain Mohammed Rizwan said, "It was tough for bowling, the ball was getting wet. It was swinging a bit early, had that not been there we could have got 250. But credit to the opposition as well. I knew the field was fast and the ball was travelling, and dew didn't help us as well. Our execution wasn't up to the mark, that's why they were able to chase 234. There were a few misfields and that hurt us, we shouldn't have allowed them to get these big partnerships."
