The right-handed batsman smashed a blistering 101 off just 43 balls, overshadowing Mohammad Rizwan’s century earlier in the innings. Chasing Multan Sultans’ formidable 234/3, Vince led his side to victory with four balls and four wickets remaining, earning the Player of the Match award.
It was James Vince’s seventh T20 hundred and his first PSL hundred. He hit 14 boundaries and four sixes in his knock.
Following their dominant home opener victory, the David Warner led Karachi Kings are set to take on Lahore Qalandars next Tuesday at the National Stadium.
Kings are currently third on the PSL 2025 Points Table with two points after one game while Multan Sultans are fifth having started their season with a defeat.
Vince was also honored with the Dawlance Reliable Player of the Match award — a special recognition by Karachi Kings for the game’s most dependable performer. He received a Dawlance hair dryer as a prize, while his teammates erupted in chants of ‘Vince! Vince! Vince!’
The video of the award being handed out has since gone viral on social media. Fans of the game have commented with hilarious takes on the incident.
“Shaving gel and shampoo next” wrote a fan. It was a bizarre award to say the least , according to some cricket fans on the internet.
“Absolute joke. Are you guys promoting PSL or insulting Pakistan.” wrote another Pakistan Cricket fan. “Next they will give mobile charger” wrote another. “Pitch dry karne ke liye?” wrote another agitated fan.
