After being sent in to bat first, no Lahore batsman was able to take a stand againt the Karachi spinners. Muhammad Rizwan (37 off 31) was the top-scorer for the team with Sohaib Maqsood playing the next best innings of 22 runs off 27 balls. For Karachi, Amir dismissed Dwayne Bravo, Zohaib Khan and Kevon Cooper to pull off the first-ever hat-trick of the PSL. Shoaib Malik, Shakibal Hasan, Sohail Tanvir and Imad Wasim contributed with one wicket apiece. Man of the match is Shakibal Hasan for his all-round performance: It was a 150-run wickets. You need to spend time. Credit goes to the bowlers and the whole team. We haven’t spent much time together but a win will give us chance to sit together and relax. The way we batted today, if we continue, we will have a good tournament. Azhar Ali: Karachi deserved to win, they played better than us. We lost wickets regularly. It would have been lovely to have three wickets [on Shakib's missed catch]. Its a long tournament, its a new team, there are a lot of things to learn. Shoaib Malik: We had in our mind that we need all-rounders and spinners for UAE. The PSL is all about helping youngsters. ===== ===== ===== ===== Over Website============https://wwwwww.tmgdir.com Like Us On Facebook======https://www.facebook.com/dirlower Follow Us On Twitter======https://twitter.com/tmgdir
