Karachi (Web Desk): Karachi Kings won the toss and decided to field first against Multan Sultans in the third match of the tenth season of Pakistan Super League (PSL 10) being played at the National Bank Stadium, Karachi.
Karachi Kings, with a new look and a new leader, won the toss and chose to bowl first — a clear sign that Aussie firebrand David Warner, now donning the captain's armband, is here to shake things up.
After a string of underwhelming seasons, the Kings are out to prove they're not just in the tournament to participate — they’re here to dominate.
Warner, who brings explosive intent and a wealth of T20 experience, headlines a high-octane batting order. Backing him are the ever-classy Kane Williamson and the hard-hitting Tim Seifert — a trio that could rewrite Karachi's batting reputation. Add in the searing pace of Adam Milne and the rising star Aamer Jamal, and you've got a squad that finally looks balanced on paper and dangerous on the turf.
But if Karachi's coming with fire, Multan isn’t blinking. The Sultans, perennial PSL contenders, are captained once again by the calm and calculated Mohammad Rizwan — a man who knows how to build an innings and break an opponent's spirit.
New Zealand's Michael Bracewell, in prime form, adds all-round value, while Chris Jordan and David Willey bring serious T20 experience and late-overs chaos with both bat and ball. Usman Khan and Tayyab Tahir are the glue in the middle — especially Tahir, whose finishing ability makes him a real threat when the death overs hit.
