KK chocked. IU were plagued by injury. Still KK messed up.
Imad Wasim plays this type of knock once every 20 games. He is a horribly inconsistent player to be relied upon otherwise

2 players injured, including a pacer and the highest wicket taker.
Part timers bowling, one of them takes 2 wickets.
3 drop catches, alot of runs given, and someone KK still lose it

Hate to say it but Babar getting out early helped the team reach 190. With him in for a long period, little chance. T20 is a different ball game to ODIs.
Well done Karachi. Almost rescued some pride.

Hope this innings from Qasim Akram start making KK trust the upcoming local talent. Highly unlikely though.

which change would you like?
Good point on Qasim Akram but imad is absolutely awful also. Don't let this innings fool you. Muhammed Nawaz finishes the game here in comparison

nawaz is a better batter but imad a better bowler, - imad in this team due to his bowling - realistically KK shoudn't be allowing anyone under nabi to bat
farhan and clarke have been really poor throughout the psl - imad generally bowled very - i don expect him to bat well

This was a terrible match. It went on for too long, should had ended early.
And it was two teams trying to play pathetic cricket really.
Islamabad with its terrible fielding and hasan alis bowling, Karachi king for pathetic batting

I mean nawaz is better than him in both departments imo and the stats show that. Wasim has a higher average in odis but that's mainly down to early success and a lot of not outs. He also has a better bowling average in t20s but not by a lot. Everything else nawaz is literally better in all departments. Karachi need a team/coaching overhaul for next season. People get caught up in domestic performances but the standard is that off Saturday league cricket

A thriller of the highest order! Wow, what a game!
As harsh as it may sound, I would put the blame for the loss entirely and solely on the shoulders of Imad Wasim, undoing all the hardwork that he had put in. I feel sad for him, I really do, and it was fur his and that young lad Qasim`s sake that I wanted Karachi to win the match, but such a casual shot was not needed when four off four were required. No way! He put the lower-order under unnecessary pressure, and the results is for everyone to see. Bad, a bad few seconds of cricket on Imad`s part. Feel sad for Karachi supporters.

Karachi Kings have crashed out of the race for HBL Pakistan Super League 7 play-offs spot after losing their seventh successive match of the season in an incredibly dramatic game against Islamabad United on Monday night at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. After a heroic fight back by Imad Wasim and Qasim Akram (108-run sixth-wicket stand) the 2020 champions needed a mere eight runs (191 target) off the final over bowled by pacer Waqas Maqsood.
Despite conceding a boundary off the second ball, the experienced left-armer Waqas kept his nerves as he dismissed Imad and Jordan Thompson before running out Chris Jordan off the last ball as Kings lost by one-run, finishing at 190 for eight.
Imad played a sensational 55-run inning (six fours and three sixes) but got out with his side at the cusp of a much needed win. Kings’ 19-year-old recruit Qasim who recently captained Pakistan U19 in the ICC U19 Men’s World Cup 2022 fought with great courage and took full advantage of three dropped chances in his unbeaten 51 off 26 (six fours, one six).
Kings had scored 47 off the previous three overs having started the 17th needing 55 runs to win but Waqas’ incredible final over extinguished their hopes of staying in the hunt for a play-off berth. Waqas finished with three wickets for 34 from his four overs.
United have now consolidated their third position on the points table with eight points from seven games (four wins, three defeats). Kings remain winless and at the bottom of the six-team table, they are the first team to lose seven successive HBL PSL matches in a single season.
Other performers
Earlier, player of the match Asif Ali took two wickets with his part-time off-spin in a completely unfamiliar role after contributing a dazzling 28 off 11 (one four, three sixes) with the bat to spearhead his side’s success.
Put into bat, United built their 191 for seven total on the basis of small but meaningful contributions throughout the innings. Captain Shadab Khan top-scored with 34 off 26 balls (three fours, one six), opener Alex Hales scored 25.
The real impetus to the innings was provided by the big-hitting trio of Azam Khan, Asif and Faheem Ashraf. Azam hit two fours and a six in his 22 off 14 balls before his run out.
All-rounder Faheem provided the finish United were looking for with a blazing 29 not out off 10 balls. The left-hander hit three fours and two sixes. Both Asif and Faheem tore into Umaid Asif who after bowling his first two overs for a mere eight runs went for 41 off his last two.
Imad was the pick of the Kings bowlers with two for 30 in four overs while left-arm pacer Mir Hamza who was making his debut for the Kings and featuring in his first HBL PSL match in three years took one wicket for 31 in his four.
United overcame the loss of Shadab and pacer Zeeshan Zameer due to injuries as Asif produced a remarkable performance with the ball as a fill-in bowler. Zeeshan limped out due to a back injury a ball after dismissing Kings mainstay Babar Azam (13) with a searing delivery.
Shadab could not bowl after suffering a groin injury while fielding at the start of the innings. Asif made the match winning breakthrough on the first ball he bowled as Sharjeel Khan was caught in the deep after an enterprising 44 off 29 balls (four fours, three sixes). He also dismissed Mohammad Nabi (3) in the same over (10th of the innings) as United seemed to be cruising home before the Imad-Qasim partnership gave them an almighty scare.
Player of the match Asif Ali: “I played to my strength while batting, I hadn’t played to my strength in previous games so I am happy I performed today. I had the responsibility with the ball after two bowlers had broken down, I simply had to do it as it was my responsibility. Waqas has the ability and the experience to deliver at crucial times so we knew he could do the job for us in the crunch final over.”
Scores in brief:
Islamabad United 191 for 7, 20 overs (Shadab Khan 34, Faheem Ashraf 29 not out, Asif Ali 28; Imad Wasim 2-30)
Karachi Kings 190 for 8, 20 overs (Imad Wasim 55, Qasim Akram 51 not out; Waqas Maqsood 3-34, Asif Ali 2-27)
