Player of the Match - James Vince
11:32 pm The Gladiators suffered from a disastrous batting session. The surface was tacky from the start, and they failed to bat based on the calibre of the ball. Playing too many unnecessary aggressive strokes, hitting the slog sweeps against the turn, and failing to correctly read the line and length of the bowlers. The Gladiators face early challenges as they lost the wickets of Finn Allen in the first over and Nawaz in the second. After losing the first five wickets in the Powerplay, they were unable to recover. The Kings' fielders performed admirably throughout. Despite carrying the bat in a T20 match and only managing to score 33 runs off 40 balls, Saud Shakeel had a peculiar innings. Amir delivered a fascinating cameo down the order, scoring 30 runs off 16 balls. Nabi is the standout bowler, giving only 7 runs and taking two wickets in his four overs. With three wickets, Hasan Ali was the leading wicket-taker. Abbas Afridi also claimed two wickets.
Here's the list of batters carrying the bat throughout the innings in T20 cricket.
Khan: "Can't compare with PZ. Give QG bowling unit to PZ and see the magic. QG is the strongest side of the tournament, it wasn't just their day." You missed the context, the discussion was about Saud and Babar's approach to T20 cricket while having a few openers in the squad.
Karachi Kings won by 56 runs
