Fakhar Zaman, Player of the Match: As a opener, whichever opener scores for any team, it increases their chances to win. We thought it's a 170 wicket but credit goes to our bowlers to restrict them. My role has always been of an aggressor no matter which side I play for. It wasn't coming easily on the bat so we planned to build partnership and we thought if we keep wickets in hand, we can make runs in the end. After the previous match, I said I wasn't in full flow and I'm not trying to be ungrateful but it's still not full flow and you need time to get back to full form after injury

Lahore Qalandars register a massive triumph over Karachi Kings, giving their net run-rate a significant boost. This was a bold statement from Lahore and with their potent bowling attack, it was always going to be tough for Karachi. Karachi's big guns lost their wickets early, leaving them virtually out of the game within the first 10 overs. Shaheen Afridi will be mighty pleased with how things went today, including his own performance. Rishad was on a roll, picking up three wickets while Raza chipped in with two but it was Shaheen's early dent in the powerplay that set the tone. The seamers maintained relentless pressure and wickets continued to tumble. Earlier, Fakhar and Mitchell did fantastic work rebuilding the innings, pushing Lahore past 200--a total that proved more than sufficient. Everything fell into place for Lahore tonight
