Shaheen set the tone early, removing David Warner and James Vince in the first over. Rishad, brought into the attack in the eighth over, turned the match decisively, taking 3 wickets for 26 runs in his four overs—including two in his very first over.
Despite some resistance from Khushdil Shah (39 off 27), Karachi failed to build momentum. Rishad received support from Shaheen (3 wickets) and Sikandar Raza (2 wickets), completing a dominant bowling display.
Earlier, Lahore’s innings recovered from early wickets through a 125-run stand between Fakhar and Mitchell. Karachi’s Hasan Ali was the pick of their bowlers with 4 for 28.
