Islamabad United secured a dominant victory over Karachi Kings on Monday to clinch second place in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 standings, setting up a high-stakes Qualifier against table-toppers Quetta Gladiators.

In the final league match at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, United posted a mammoth 251/5, powered by a blazing 153-run opening stand between Alex Hales and Sahibzada Farhan. Hales smashed 88 off just 35 balls, hitting six fours and eight sixes, while Farhan contributed a stylish 73 from 41 deliveries. Captain Shadab Khan added the finishing touches with a rapid 42-run knock.
