9:40 pm The pitch's par score is 180, according to David Warner during the toss, and they ultimately fall short by a few runs. Warner made a promising start with the bat on the powerplay, scoring 31 runs off 20 balls before mishiting the sweep shot to square leg. Karachi topped the powerplay scoring 61 runs. However, they lost both openers in successive overs to the spinners. The Gladiators' fielding has been below average today, with a couple of missed boundaries, sloppy outfield activity with ground fielding, and missing Vince's run out early in the innings, which was costly later on. The three spinners, Majid, Saud, and Abrar, blocked the runs in the middle overs. Later, in the 19th over, Saud dropped a simple catch of Nabi. Vince was the best batter of the Karachi Kings, scoring 70 runs off 47 balls before being dismissed on the final delivery of the innings. Amir and Majid took two wickets each. Abbott, Shakeel, and Abrar bowled well with solid line and length, and each took one wicket.

Muzamil : "it seems like a goood target on this pitch.Key point of the match will be the spell from nabi and khushdil take early wickets "

mcool: "Not a great fielding display from the Gladiators however they controlled the innings well with good bowling, they need to finish well with the bat"

Yasir: "Lucky M Amir! a few inches more and he would ve gone to cleaners, Amir J tried to become hero where he should rotated the strike, 10 15 runs short KK"

Quetta Gladiators need 176 runs to win
