Quetta Gladiators Pull Off an Unbelievable PSL 10 Win!
Okay, so you won't believe this PSL 10 match between the Quetta Gladiators and the Karachi Kings. It was at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on April 25th, 2025, and it was a low-scoring thriller that went right down to the wire. Quetta pulled off a five-run victory, and honestly, who saw that coming?
Karachi's Stumble After a Great Start
Karachi won the toss and chose to field first, limiting Quetta to a pretty modest 142. Hasan Ali bowled brilliantly for Karachi (3-33), really disrupting Quetta's top order. But then Faheem Ashraf exploded with a quick 43 and Kusal Mendis chipped in with 36, giving Quetta a late boost. Karachi’s chase started amazing; Tim Seifert (47) and James Vince (30) put on a 73-run partnership. It felt like they had it in the bag.
And then… the wheels completely fell off. Seifert and Vince both went, and suddenly, it was like watching a slow-motion trainwreck. Five wickets went down for just 14 runs! It was a total collapse. Even Hasan Ali’s late 24 couldn't save them; they ended up on 137/8.
Quetta's Bowling Magic
Quetta's bowlers were absolutely phenomenal. Mohammad Wasim Jr., Mohammad Amir, and Khurram Shahzad each snagged two wickets, keeping the pressure on Karachi the entire time. Abrar Ahmed bowled an incredibly economical spell (4-0-15-1), really stifling Karachi's momentum. They were relentless, and it exposed Karachi's weakness when the pressure was on.
A Turning Point and What's Next
Losing Karachi's captain, David Warner, early on really set the tone for their innings. Seifert's quick runs gave them hope, but his dismissal was the turning point. This win is huge for Quetta; it really boosts their playoff chances after a few tough losses. For Karachi, it's a wake-up call. They're still in with a good chance for the playoffs, but they need to be more consistent. They need to figure out their middle order!
A Classic PSL Match
