Team Previews
Karachi Kings Preview
Karachi Kings have made an assertive start to their 2025 campaign. David Warner’s leadership has infused aggression, and he’s backed it up with consistent performances. James Vince has been the backbone of the batting, scoring 186 runs in five matches, while Tim Seifert and Khushdil Shah have supported the top order. Khushdil is also contributing with the ball, forming a valuable all-round combo.
Bowling has been a revelation for the Kings this season. Hasan Ali leads the charge with 10 wickets, supported ably by Abbas Afridi (8 wickets). Mohammad Nabi has choked runs at an economy under 6, making the Karachi bowling unit one of the most balanced in the league. With Warner at the helm and a strong core group, they enter this match with high confidence.
Quetta Gladiators Preview
The Quetta Gladiators are struggling to find rhythm. They’ve managed only one win from three matches, with key players underperforming. Saud Shakeel has been decent, but Finn Allen’s early brilliance has faded. Kusal Mendis has played with flair, scoring at over 200 strike rate, but lacks support from middle-order players like Rilee Rossouw, who has a poor record against Karachi.
Abrar Ahmed has been the standout bowler for Quetta with 7 wickets and a strike rate of 10.2 balls. Mohammad Amir and Sean Abbott, however, have leaked runs consistently. Quetta’s bowling needs to step up big time if they want to contain the explosive Karachi lineup. Unless their top order and bowlers fire in unison, the Gladiators could face another defeat.
