Pakistan Super League 2023, Match 6, Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators are set to lock horns in Match 6 of the Pakistan Super League 2023 on Saturday, February 18. The contest will take place at the National Stadium in Karachi.
The Gladiators, led by Sarfaraz Ahmed, got off to a horrendous start in this year's Pakistan Super League. They lost to Mohammad Rizwan’s Multan Sultans by nine wickets on Wednesday (February 15) at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
Ihsanullah’s five-wicket haul restricted them to 110 in 18.5 overs after being sent in to bat first. Barring Jason Roy, who scored 27 runs off 18 balls with three fours and a six, none of the Gladiators’ batters stepped up. The Sultans chased down the target with 39 balls to spare thanks to Rilee Rossouw’s unbeaten 78 off 42 balls.
The Kings, captained by Imad Wasim, have struggled as well. They are placed fifth in the Pakistan Super League 2023 table, having lost both their matches so far. After their defeat against Babar Azam’s Peshawar Zalmi, they lost to Shadab Khan’s Islamabad United by four wickets on Thursday (February 16).
After being sent in to bat first, the Kings racked up a decent score of 173 for seven on the back of Haider Ali’s 45-ball 59. United chased down the target with 10 balls to spare after Colin Munro’s 58 and Azam Khan’s 44.
