[WATCH]: James Vince launches towering six towards long-on against Saud Shakeel

The 8th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 is currently underway between Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators at the National Stadium, Karachi. Karachi Kings captain David Warner won the toss and elected to bat first.

Karachi’s openers got off to a flying start, with Tim Seifert scoring a quick 27 off 15 balls and David Warner contributing 31 off 20 deliveries. After the dismissal of Warner, in-form batter James Vince walked in to continue the momentum.

In the 11th over, Vince faced the left-arm orthodox Saud Shakeel. On the third ball of the over, Vince stepped down the track to an in-drifting delivery, converted it into a slot ball, and launched it over long-on for a massive six. The shot came right off the middle of the bat and showcased his excellent form.
