PSL 8: Bottom-placed Quetta Gladiators lock horns with Karachi Kings tonight

  • Quetta, with only one win from the tournament so far, sit at the bottom of the points table
  • Quetta Gladiators beat Karachi Kings in their last PSL 2023 encounter last month

ISLAMABAD: Both the Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators will be desperately looking for a win tonight, Monday, as the two teams try to overcome their past mistakes and grab a much-needed win in their Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 clash at the Rawalpindi Cricket Ground.

The Gladiators, who have won only a single match in this year’s PSL and that too against the Kings, lost their Sunday match against Islamabad United after having the upper hand against the two-time champions. After handing United a 180-run target, the Gladiators’ bowlers let it slip, enabling United to chase the total in the end with two wickets to spare.

Sarfaraz Ahmed’s team will look toward pacer Naseem Shah and all-rounder to deliver the goods as far as their bowling department is concerned. In the batting department, the team would have high hopes from Will Smeed, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Najibullah Zadran.

The Kings, on the other hand, will look toward all-rounder and skipper Imad Wasim, who has been in sublime form as far as their batting is concerned. The Kings, who are placed at number five on the PSL table with only two wins from eight matches, will eye a win tonight to improve their chances of securing the playoffs.
