SHARJAH: Karachi King’s Colin Ingram notched the highest individual score of PSL history to lift his team from the jaws of defeat to pull off a six-wicket win over Quetta Gladiators in Sharjah on Sunday.
Ingram smashed eight sixes and a dozen boundaries during his epic 59-ball 127 not out as Karachi Kings overhauled a target of 187 with eight balls to spare and hand Quetta their first defeat in five games.
He took a single off Sohail Tanvir to bring up the joint fastest hundred in all HBL PSL editions. Islamabad United’s Sharjeel Khan scored a hundred against Peshawar off 50 balls in 2016. Sharjeel played an innings of 117 runs.
This becomes the first hundred in HBL PSL by a foreign player. Peshawar’s Kamran Akmal has scored the other two hundreds in the HBL PSL editions.
The win lifted the gloom in Karachi camp as they registered their second win in five matches and after three defeats in a row. They are now fifth in the table, which Quetta continued to top with eight points after five games (four win and one defeat).
