Rishad shows class again as Lahore crush Karachi
Rishad Hossain picked two wickets in his first over
Lahore Qalandars bounced back in style to claim their second win of the PSL season with a commanding 65-run victory over Karachi Kings, thanks to standout performances from Rishad Hossain and Shaheen Afridi.
After setting a target of 201 runs, built on fifties from Fakhar Zaman (76 off 47) and Daryl Mitchell (75 off 41), Lahore's bowlers dismantled the Karachi lineup, bowling them out for 136 with five balls to spare.

Shaheen set the tone early, removing David Warner and James Vince in the first over. Rishad, brought into the attack in the eighth over, turned the match decisively, taking 3 wickets for 26 runs in his four overs—including two in his very first over.
Despite some resistance from Khushdil Shah (39 off 27), Karachi failed to build momentum. Rishad received support from Shaheen (3 wickets) and Sikandar Raza (2 wickets), completing a dominant bowling display.
Earlier, Lahore’s innings recovered from early wickets through a 125-run stand between Fakhar and Mitchell. Karachi’s Hasan Ali was the pick of their bowlers with 4 for 28.
