Karachi team was not in good form. They have lost their last three matches. We have not seen a good performance especially from Karachi's bowlers. The overall performance of Karachi's players was erratic. On the other hand, the performance of Quetta Gladiators was very good. The team was second in the points table. But the performance of the team in today's match is very bad.
Karachi's captain won the toss and took the fielding decision. The bowlers have been able to perform their duties properly, the players of Quetta Gladiators have been able to collect only 102 runs in 16 overs, the interesting thing is that Quetta Gladiators have lost 7 wickets, the team can probably collect up to 130 runs.
I don't see a chance for QUetta to win even if they give a target of 130 runs. The team needed to collect at least 170 runs on this pitch. Hasan Ali, Zahid Mahmood and Muzarabani bowled very controlled today.
I don't expect such worst performance from Quetta gladiator despite they already won thier four match out of six which I think incredible but today they were completely off colour in thier both sector, first they make one of lowest score of this season of HBL PSL and while defending thier target they can't even give tough time to thier opponent batters despite having one of strong bowling lineup. But I think some time it's occur with any team like we can say it's not thier day. Hope they will make some decent performance in coming future which will make them strong contender to qualify for next playoff round.
Anyway for that phenomenal performance credit goes to Hasan Ali and muzarabani for spectacular spells
I would say a lot of gamblers lost their money on this match. No one had imagined that the batsmen of Quetta Gladiators would bat so badly. Because Quetta Gladiators batting order is very strong.
Jason Roy, Saud Shakeel, Rutherford, Rilee Rossouw and Sharfaraz Ahmed are all very talented batsmen for the T20 format. And everyone has the ability to play big innings. But in today's match, every batsman in the squad batted badly. Only Saud Shakeel scored 33 runs. Besides, no other batsman can play well.
It was not possible for Quetta Gladiators to win by giving a target of only 119 runs. And with only 3 wickets lost, Karachi Kings were not in good form before 16 overs. If Quetta's batsmen could have given a target of more than 160 today, they might have been able to win the match.
