Kings vs Sultans, 2nd Match at Dubai, PSL, Feb 15 2019 - Ball by Ball Commentary
WATCH - Livingstone's epic PSL debut (Available to audience in the US only)
7.20pm That is that. Karachi Kings begin their PSL campaign with a tight win. It was set up by a record partnership between Babar Azam and England's Liam Livingstone. They ran up 157 for the first wicket - the highest for any wicket in the PSL. Karachi then suffered a collapse at the back end and ended with only 183. It didn't look enough when Malik got going, but Amir's expertise at the death got Karachi home. Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off. Cheers

very full and angling into the pads, glanced away to the right of long leg for a double
full-toss angling away outside off, Azam goes for a big hit - he has to - he bends his back knee can't clear Livingstone at long-off. Sparkling little cameo from Azam, but he can't get his side over the line. Just two wickets and four runs off the penultimate over from Amir. Gold
yorker on middle, dug out to point. Amir puts a smile on Arthur's face and elicits applause from his coach
