    English batter Roy stood up to the tall task as he hammered 20 fours and 5 sixes in his breezy 145*-run knock. This is the highest individual score in PSL history, beating Colin Ingram's 127* for Karachi Kings in 2019. Roy reached his 100 in 44 balls, the second-fastest by any player in PSL. Rilee Rossouw reached the milestone in 43 balls.
