Vince hammered a ton in just 42 deliveries to open Karachi's win account as the Kings gunned down a mammoth 235-run target to trounce Multan in a run-scoring fest. After putting up a swashbuckling display, Vince became the third-fastest centurion in PSL's history.

The record for the fastest century in Pakistan's premier T20 tournament belongs to Usman Khan, who breezed past the three-digit mark in just 36 deliveries. South Africa's Rilee Rossouw follows in next with a 41-ball hundred.

The entertaining and gripping affair in Karachi began with the Sultans' skipper Mohammad Rizwan leading his side from the front and mesmerising the spectators with an exquisite 105* from 69 deliveries.

With nine boundaries and five towering maximums, Rizwan found support from Kamran Ghulam and Michael Bracewell's quick-fire contributions towards the end. In his short-lived 36 from 19 cameo, Ghulam opened his arms and displayed a wide array of shots.

In the aftermath of his dismissal, Bracewell joined hands with Rizwan and took the brunt of scoring runs with aggression, firing an unbeaten 44 from 17 deliveries to propel Multan to a daunting 234/3.

In reply, Tim Seifert set the tempo of the chase with a swift 32 from 16 after skipper David Warner's early dismissal. Vince went straight down the business and dealt with boundaries, unfazed by the events unfolding on the other end.

When the situation started to escalate out of Karachi's hands, Khushdil Shah flexed his boundary-hitting muscle to keep Karachi in the thick of the action. After Vince was run out on 101, Khushdil relentlessly attacked Multan before being cleaned up by Akif Javed on 60(37). The damage was done well before Khushdil's dismissal as Karachi relished in its four-wicket triumph with four balls to spare.

What an incredible innings from Vince! 🔥 That 42-ball century had me jumping off my couch. The way he timed those shots was pure class. PSL never disappoints with these batting fireworks!

While Vince's knock was spectacular, I think the bowling from both sides needs serious improvement. 235 chased down with 4 balls left? These are T10 scores, not T20. Where's the balance?

Rizwan's century was equally impressive but got overshadowed by the chase. That man is consistency personified! Vince was just on another level yesterday though 💯

Khushdil Shah's cameo deserves more credit! 60 off 37 under that pressure was crucial. The whole match was a batting masterclass 👏

That Vince innings reminded me of his form for Southern Brave in The Hundred. When he gets going, there are few prettier batters to watch in world cricket right now.

Can we talk about that insane strike rate? 240+ SR for a century is just mind-blowing. PSL keeps raising the bar for entertainment every season!
