SHARJAH: Former South African batsman Colin Ingram notched the highest individual score of PSL history to lift Karachi Kings from the jaws of defeat to pull off a six-wicket win over Quetta Gladiators in Sharjah on Sunday night.Ingram smashed eight sixes and a dozen boundaries during his epic 59-ball 127 not out as Karachi Kings overhauled a target of 187 with eight balls to spare and hand Quetta their first defeat in five games.With 17 needed off the last two overs, first Ben Dunk (15 not out off nine balls with a six and four) hit a six and then took a single to allow Ingram to hit a boundary and then send the ball sailing over long-on to leave Quetta stunned.This was only the second win for Karachi Kings in five matches. They are now fifth in the table, which Quetta continue to top with eight points after five games — four wins and one defeat.Peshawar are second in the six-team table, having six points — three wins in five matches. Defending champions Islamabad United are third with six points from five games. Lahore Qalandars are fourth with four points from five matches — two wins and three losses.Multan Sultans are sixth, having two points from five matches (one win and four defeats).With 114 needed in the last ten overs and Karachi losing grip, Ingram cut loose. He hit two boundaries and a six off pacer Ghulam Mudassar and smacked three sixes off spinner Mohammad Nawaz to bring the target down to 54 in last six overs.Chasing a daunting 9.35 run-per-over target, Karachi were in tatters at 4-2 as they lost Babar Azam off the very first ball, playing straight into the hands of covers off Sohail Tanvir. Colin Munro fell to another low score as he punched a long hop from Mohammad Nawaz to square-leg.Ingram added 50 for the third wicket with Awais Zia, who made a laborious 21-ball 19. Ingram reached his first fifty off 31 balls with a boundary.Umar Akmal had led Quetta to 186-5 in 20 overs with a fiery 37-ball 55, which had five sixes. Rilee Rossouw made 32-ball 44 with four boundaries and a six. But it was Anwar Ali who gave the real impetus to the innings with his six-ball 27 not out in which he hit four sixes.Aamer Yamin, who took 3-37, removed Ahsan Ali for seven before Umar added 47 for the second wicket with Shane Watson, who made 24-ball 25 with two sixes and as many boundaries.The tournament will resume in Dubai after a day’s rest on Tuesday (today).Karachi Kings won tossQuetta GladiatorsS R Watson c Sohail b Umer 25Ahsan Ali c Dunk b Yamin 7R R Rossouw b Yamin 44Umar Akmal c Livingstone b Yamin 55D R Smith c Livingstone b Amir 9Anwar Ali not out 27Mohammad Nawaz not out 0Extras (b 4, lb 4, w 7) 15Total (5 wickets, 20 overs) 186Did not bat: Ghulam Mudassar, Sohail Tanvir, *†Sarfaraz Ahmed, Fawad AhmedFall: 1-14, 2-61, 3-124, 4-156, 5-178Bowling: Imad 4-0-13-0 (w 1); Amir 4-0-39-1 (w 3); Yamin 4-0-37-3; Sohail 2-0-32-0 (w 1); Umer 2-0-23-1 (w 1); Munro 4-0-34-0 (w 1)Karachi KingsBabar Azam c Nawaz b Tanvir 0C Munro c Watson b Nawaz 3Awais Zia c Sarfaraz b Fawad 19C A Ingram not out 127L S Livingstone c & b Tanvir 18†B R Dunk not out 15Extras (lb 1, w 5) 6Total (4 wickets, 18.4 overs) 188Did not bat: *Imad Wasim, Aamer Yamin, Mohammad Amir, Umer Khan, Sohail KhanFall: 1-0, 2-4, 3-54, 4-145Bowling: Tanvir 4-0-21-2 (w 4); Nawaz 4-0-51-1; Ghulam 3-0-44-0 (w 1); Fawad 4-0-31-1; Anwar 3.4-0-40-0Result: Karachi Kings won by 6 wicketsMan of the Match: Colin Ingram (KK)Umpires: Richard Illingworth (England) and Ahsan Raza (Pakistan).
