Warner hits 60 as Karachi edge past Peshawar

Warner hits 60 as Karachi edge past Peshawar

Karachi, Apr 22 (UNI) David Warner's 60 from 47 balls helped Karachi Kings edge to a two-wicket win over Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Warner's knock set up the Kings' chase of 148, which they reached with just three balls to spare after slipping to 42-3 on Monday.

With nine runs needed from the final over, Khushdil Shah held his nerve to strike two fours and finished unbeaten on 23, the BBC reported.

England bowler Luke Wood took 3-28 for Peshawar, including the dismissal of Tim Seifert with the first ball of the chase and dismissing compatriot James Vince for 11.

Earlier, Peshawar skipper Babar Azam struggled for fluency, making 46 from 41 balls in his side's 147-8, but had little support from the rest of the order.

Haris Rauf made 28 from 21 before West Indies' Alzarri Joseph whacked 24 not out from 13 balls to add some late impetus.

Khushdil added fine figures of 3-20 to his match-winning knock while Abbas Afridi took 3-30.

The win takes Karachi to second in the PSL table behind unbeaten Islamabad United, while Peshawar are fourth with just one win in the campaign so far.
