Shadab Khan was at his all-round best once again as he led Islamabad United to a convincing win

Islamabad United are really looking like the team to beat this PSL season! That was a clinical all-round show against Karachi Kings — and once again, Shadab Khan was at the heart of it all. Leading from the front, Shadab not only tightened things up with the ball (2 for 17) but also anchored the chase perfectly with his smart 47, showing exactly why he’s so crucial to United’s setup. That partnership with Azam Khan (who’s quietly turning into a reliable finisher this season) really shut the door on Karachi. On the Kings' side, that sluggish start with Warner and Vince falling cheaply and Seifert’s struggle really put them on the back foot. Abbas Afridi’s late hits were entertaining, but as Warner himself said, they were at least 20 runs light. And that Karachi pitch didn’t help matters either — low bounce and no real pace meant the batters were always under pressure. So with this, Islamabad United are now 4-for-4 — looking sharp both with bat and ball, and even handling tough conditions coolly. Want me to pull together a quick PSL 2025 points table update for you too? Looks like United might be topping it or close! Brief Scores: Karachi Kings 128/7 in 20 overs (Tim Seifert 30, Abbas Afridi 24*; Shadab Khan 2-17, Naseem Shah 2-29) lost to Islamabad United 129/4 in 17.1 overs (Shadab Khan 47, Azam Khan 31; Hasan Ali 2-28) by 7 wickets
