Karachi Kings thrash Multan Sultans by 87 runs

Karachi's win gave them a much-needed net run rate boost, although they remain some way off the other teams. They currently occupy the last playoff spot. The Kings could snatch top two with three wins in a row, but could also be edged out by Peshawar Zalmi. Multan, meanwhile, have been eliminated from the tournament – a disappointing campaign on the back of four consecutive final appearances.
The Lahore-Quetta washout ended up being not too bad for either team. They remain in second and third respectively, and both retain solid chances of playoff qualification as one of the top two sides. Quetta do have the advantage here though, with a game in hand.
