Sarfaraz Ahmed, the skipper of Quetta Gladiators, says that the credit should be given to the bowlers and Naseem Shah was brilliant today. He adds that they have told the fast bowlers to bowl with pace. He applauds Mohammad Hasnain for his performance and says that he has carried his form from domestic cricket and he hopes that Hasnain continues to do good work.
Babar Azam, the skipper of Karachi Kings, says that they didn't bat well and kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. Tells that their shot selection wasn't upto the mark and they will look to rectify their mistakes in the next game.
Naseem Shah is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his spell of (3.3-0-20-5). He says that he has been working hard and was following his plan to bowl cutters. He adds that he has been playing well in CPL and domestic tournaments. Mentions that he has his plans and the skipper has his plans too and everything went well today.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Well, Quetta Gladiators had just 114 runs to chase and it was their openers, Ahsan Ali and Will Smeed who got them off to a great start and set the tone upfront. The Gladiators did lose Smeed but Ali carried on in his merry way and notched up a half-century. Duckett had a mix-up with Ahsan Ali and he perished but it was their skipper, Sarfaraz Ahmed who came in at number 4 and finished the game inside 16 overs. Karachi Kings' bowlers had their task cut out as they didn't have much runs to play with. Their spinners, Imad Wasim and Mohammad Nabi bowled well and kept the batters on their toes but the other bowlers were taken to cleaners and they had no answers to Quetta Gladiators' juggernaut. They made a mockery of the chase and handed a defeat to Babar Azam's Karachi Kings.
A comprehensive victory here for Quetta Gladiators and they register their first win of the season! Karachi Kings have now lost back-to-back games and they looked completely out of sorts in this game. It was a clinical effort with the ball from Quetta Gladiators in the first innings and they have chased down the total quite easily with 25 balls to spare.
