Scorer: Harshith Gowda | Commentator: Rvel Zahid

David Warner, Karachi Kings Captain: It's fantastic to get the win, but most importantly the welcome I and the team ad on this ground was amazing. Said at the start, have a never give up attitude. Even if we lose wickets in the powerplay, we need to keep going. Look we spoke about probably giving away too may extras. We thought 200 would have been par, but they had wickets in hand so we felt they ended a bit below par. I knew that if we get a partnership like that in a big chase, we'll get it. We lost both of them in the end, but Abbas did enough. For us, most important thing was stay positive. Just gotta have that belief. As a whole we have to keep working hard as a group, we have to go back to training, still a lot of thinking to do.

James Vince, Player of the Match: Tough chase. When we batted we realized how nice a surface it was. Chasing a big score like hat you need to get up with the rate up early, had to keep the rate up and manageable. Lots of big moments in the change but delighted to get over the line. The way Khushdil batted was great and the way he attacked Chris Jordan when the rate was climbing was amazing. Obviously done a lot of hard work, would have been nice to stay till the end but we bat deep, delighted we got over the line in the end.

Mohammad Rizwan, Multan Sultans Captain: Pitch was tough for bowling as the ball got wet (due to dew). Maybe 250 was on cards. Pitch was difficult early on but got better later and outfield was quick. I think our execution wasn't perfect

We got exactly what we hoped for; a hair-raising, high-scoring, exhilarating affair on Saturday night that kept fans on the edge of their seats. There was some help for the pacers early on and Multan made the most of it by picking up wickets up front. But James Vince was on a mission, remaining unflappable at the other end, finding boundaries at will. He soon found an able partner in Khushdil Shah and together they stitched a mammoth 142-run stand that completely turned the tables. David Willey proved far too expensive, conceding 40 runs in just two overs and the bowling unit simply had no answers to the onslaught. We witnessed two superb centuries tonight and though David Warner fell early, many thought it would become a herculean task for Karachi. But they met fire with fire and as conditions improved for batting, they made the most of it. It was a nightmare for bowlers, but a dream day for batters; a night full of entertainment. PSL 10 is well and truly underway and it couldn't have asked for a more cracking start

Jordan to Abbas Afridi, SIX, Munched down the ground for six and seals the deal! Aiming for the yorker and missed the target, Abbas Afridi pumps it through the line and it lands over the rope past long-off. That is a stellar run-chase orchestrated by James Vince and Khushdil Shah (142-run stand) - both can breathe a sigh of relief as the lower middle-order didn't botch it up towards the end

Jordan to Abbas Afridi, no run, Over the wicket, length ball seaming into his pads, clinked to silly mid-on and it's a precious dot

Jordan often finds himself in these situations. He'll have to bring all his experience and bag of tricks to the fore

END OF OVER:
19 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | KK: 230/6 (5 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 12.10, RRR: 5.00)

Akif Javed to Abbas Afridi, 1 run, Around the wicket, cranking up the pace, intimidating short ball getting big on him, gets a top-edge that just flies away from short third who was sprinting in and put in a desperate lunge

swathi: "Without Bracewell's flourish in the end, this match would have long been over."
