DUBAI: Livingstone powered Karachi Kings to thumping 5-wicket victory over Multan Sultans in the 24th T20 match in the fourth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) at Abu Dhabi on Monday night.

Karachi Kings won the toss and opted to bowl first. Multan Sultans were restricted to 118 runs for seven wickets by Kings. Chasing a target of 119, Ahmed Shahzad and Livingstone's tremendous performances helped Karachi Kings win the match.

The five-wicket loss in the must-win match against Karachi Kings has virtually knocked out Multan Sultans from the playoff stage of the game.

Sultans, led by Shoaib Malik, managed to win two games off nine played matches.

Fast bowler Usman Khan Shinwari picked four wickets while spinner Umar Khan bagged three.
