Islamabad United continued their unbeaten start to the Pakistan Super League season with a six-wicket win over Karachi Kings.
Chasing just 129, Azam Khan and Shadab Khan added 45 for the third wicket to put their side firmly in control.
Having seen Azam bowled by Mohammad Nabi for 31, Shadab took his side to the brink of victory with 47 from 40 balls.
He saw his stumps broken by Abbas Afridi with the scores level, before Mohammad Nawaz struck a single from the following delivery to seal four wins from four for Islamabad.
Karachi were put into bat by their opponents and were immediately in trouble, with top order batters David Warner and James Vince bowled for three and four respectively.
Opener Tim Seifert top-scored with 30, while four batters were dismissed for single figures as Kings slid to 102-7, before Abbas hit 24 from nine to close their innings on 128 without any further wickets lost.
The result sees both sides remain in place in table, with Karachi in third and Islamabad four points clear of Lahore Qalanders at the top, having played one game more.
