For a team to be boasting of Chris Gayle and Kumar Sangakkara and Kieron Pollard in a T20 game, the chances of them losing is next to impossible. They are T20 superheroes. But yesterday, in a low scoring thriller, when your biggest weapons do not click, you need to make sure a miracle happens and it happened. Karachi Kings were wrapped up for 126 runs, which was well under par. But thanks to a brilliant bowling performances by Imad Wasim, Usama Mir and Mohammad Aamir, Karachi Kings were able to do the impossible to edge out the Islamabad United team. In fact in the process, Usama Mir bagged a hattrick, a feat he will not forget soon.
Kings got off to a woeful start, with Mohammad Sami and Mohammad Irfan bowling back-to-back maidens. From there on in they were always chasing the game yet on the back of a brilliant team bowling performance Kings managed to pip the Islamabad United.
But the event we are focusing on here are two: the winning moment and the crowd heating up proceedings.

In the other event you see the crowd is really getting behind the Karachi Kings, they are heating up things and this is why cricket is played to spread joy.
Karachi Kings will now fly to Lahore but will Chris Gayle go is the big question.
