The spotlight, however, remained firmly on Hasan Ali, who not only delivered a clinical performance with the ball but also reached a monumental career milestone. His three-wicket haul took his PSL tally to 116 wickets in 84 innings, overtaking Wahab Riaz’s previous record of 113 wickets in 87 innings. The historic moment came when Hasan Ali dismissed Hassan Nawaz for just one run, sealing his place as the league’s highest wicket-taker.
This achievement further cements Hasan Ali’s place among PSL’s elite performers.

Speaking after the game, an elated Hasan credited his teammates and supporters for the success, stating, “It’s a special feeling to set a new record in PSL, and it’s all possible because of the support of my team and the fans.”
With this victory, Karachi Kings climbed to third on the PSL 10 points table, securing their second win in three matches and taking their points tally to four. The team appears to be gaining momentum at a crucial stage in the tournament, with Hasan Ali’s form serving as a major boost to their title aspirations. As the league progresses, Karachi Kings will look to capitalize on their strong start and continue pushing for a top finish.
