Hyderabad Kingsmen chased 214 against Multan Sultans, winning by four wickets with three balls remaining, powered by Usman Khan’s record‑breaking century and Hassan Khan’s late cameo.
Usman scored 101 off 47 balls with 10 sixes and five fours, sharing a 123‑run stand with captain Marnus Labuschagne, who contributed 61 off 41.

Earlier, Multan Sultans posted 213‑7, led by Steven Smith’s 106 off 50 balls and Sahibzada Farhan’s 66, with both openers adding a 132‑run partnership.
Glenn Maxwell dismissed Farhan, while Hassan Khan removed Smith, before Kingsmen bowlers restricted Sultans with four wickets in the final overs to limit their acceleration.
Akif Javed claimed three wickets for Kingsmen, while Ali, Maxwell, Hassan and Hunain Shah picked one each, ensuring Sultans’ momentum stalled after their strong opening stand.
