England's James Vince smashed the second century of PSL 2025, overshadowing Mohammad Rizwan in a record-breaking chase for Karachi Kings.
Vince took just 42 balls to reach three figures, the third-fastest century in the history of PSL, spearheading the Kings to a record-breaking chase of 235. It's the third-highest chase in the history of the Pakistan Super League, and was largely down to a stunning 142-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Vince and Khushdil Shah.
Khushdil himself smashed a 37-ball 60, providing the ideal supporting hand to Vince.

There was a twist towards the end of the chase, with Vince and Khushdil departing in quick succession, but Kings held their nerve. Needing five runs off the last five balls, Abbas Afridi hit a six down the ground, taking them over the line.
It gave the Kings the third-highest successful chase in the history of the PSL, and their best ever in the competition. It is worth noting that the top five successful chases in the PSL have all come in the last three seasons.
Earlier, Multan Sultans posted 234-3, thanks to Mohammed Rizwan's unbeaten 63-ball 105, and late assaults from Kamran Ghulam and Michael Bracewell.
