After that, Sohaib Maqsood came to the aid of captain Mohammad Rizwan and together they took the score to 40 but at this stage Sohaib’s innings of 31 runs off 14 balls came to an end.
New batsman Riley Rauso also played Rizwan well and both added 68 runs for the third wicket in which the left-arm batsman’s share was 44 runs.
On a total of 108, Karachi achieved its third victory when Thisara Perera took Perera’s valuable wicket.

In the same over, the Sultans suffered another major setback when captain Rizwan was forced to return to the pavilion after a brilliant throw from the boundary.
West Indies’ Shamron Hittmeier’s innings could not go beyond 7 runs and thus the Sultans lost the fifth wicket.
