Rawalpindiz vs Karachi Kings, 10th Match, Pakistan Super League 2026 - Commentary

That's it for today then. Lahore and Multan take on each other tomorrow. We will see you all again soon. Good night!

David Warner: (Winning three out of three) Yeah, look, it's a great place to be. I think tonight was a fantastic result for us, but the way that the boys played, I thought, was fantastic. Up with the 200, it was probably going to be, I think, par total on that wicket, but the way that our bowlers sort of bowled through the middle, I thought was fantastic. They had a good partnership and a solid foundation, and it's always hard to bring that back. But what a fantastic innings there by Azam. (On the bowling options) Yeah, look, it's handy. I've captained a lot of franchises around the world, and it's just great to have sort of that artillery there at your disposal. So, look, the guys have been bowling very, very well. I think the good thing about this is we've got some great experience in this team, which I'm using their knowledge, and our bowling changes are a group decision, not just my decision. So, we're gelling really well together. (On Azam Khan's knock) Yeah, look, that was fantastic. You know, he just needed a little bit of intent to come out and play his way, and we know what he's capable of. I know he's definitely capable of what he's capable of, but to see him come off tonight and bat in the middle, look like he did. It's going to hold him in good stead for the rest of the tournament.

Rizwan: Bowling was good today, compared to the first game. But if you keep dropping catches, makes it hard. Our batting lineup is strong. Have good overseas players and Yasir at the top who keeps blasting. But the execution with the ball - will have to wait on the status of Naseem (talking about his injury).

Azam Khan: I would say I was not really satisfied with the innings because I gave like a lot of chances, but obviously, you know, getting runs off the bat always feels nice. (On getting the power behind the shots and his promotion) Yeah, I really practiced a lot on my shots and personally, I had a gut feeling that they might send me at number four because I personally think that my ideal position is number four after the power play. But obviously, it ended up on a win, so I'm really happy about it. (On his partnership with Warner) Yeah, that was a really crucial partnership. We always decided that we have to take one boundary in the over. And obviously scoring 200 runs in a T20 game, I don't think it's much difficult now. But obviously, we needed that boundary in every over, so we did that. I'm happy about it that we ended up winning. (Asked to lock his position at No. 4 )Listen, guys (smiles).

22:33 Local Time, 17:33 GMT, 23:03 IST: Azam Khan got a promotion, possibly due to the hand injury for Moeen Ali that he picked out while dropping a catch. Every time the pressure had to be released Azam Khan swung his bat around for some lovely hits to put the bowler back under pressure. He did this over after over. If it was Mitchell and Billings in a 120-run stand in the first innings, it was the 76-run stand for the Kings that sealed the deal. Azam ensured the asking rate always stayed in check and he didn't spare any bowler. Naseem leaving the field due to a side strain while bowling didn't help Pindiz either. A good run chase for the Kings. A good base early on then they capitalized on it.
