Toss: Quetta Gladiators, who chose to field
Teams
Karachi Kings XI : Nauman Anwar, LMP Simmons, JM Vince, Shoaib Malik*, Shakib Al Hasan, RS Bopara, Imad Wasim, Iftikhar Ahmed, Sohail Tanvir, Saifullah Bangash†, Mohammad Amir
Quetta Gladiators : Luke Wright, Ahmed Shehzad, Kevin Pietersen, Sarfraz Ahmed(c & wk), Elton Chigumbura, Mohammad Nabi, Mohammad Nawaz, Anwar Ali, Umar Gul, Zulfiqar Babar, Akbar-ur-Rehman
Karachi innings : Karachi started off badly, the much hyped Nauman going for a second golden duck. More wickets at regular intervals did not help.The confident Karachi batting seen in the previous match seemed nervous and were tottering at 69/4 after 11 at one stage. Malik and Bopara however rescued the innings and left Karachi with a fighting total of 146/7. Umar Gul was expensive once again and doing no favors for himself before the World Cup. Nabi and Ali both finished with two wickets, the latter however expensive once again.
FOW:
1-5 (Nauman Anwar, 0.6 ov)
2-30 (Simmons, 5.6 ov)
3-53 (Vince, 9.4 ov)

Quetta innings : Quetta innings: Quetta started off cautiously, scoring only 39 runs in the power play including 4 boundaries and a six. Soon after Luke Wright accelerated, followed by Shehzad. After scoring boundaries at will Luke Wright fell to Imad Wasim skies on to long. Shehzad continued on hitting some lusty blows which included 5 fours and 4 sixes before he fell on 71. A little too late for Karachi as the damage was already done. Quetta win inside the 18th over.
FOW:
1-92 (Luke Wright, 10.6 ov)
2-138 (Ahmed Shehzad, 15.6 ov)
2-138 (Ahmed Shehzad, 15.6 ov)
Match summary: Dominating win for Quetta, who are a surprise package. They thoroughly dominated their opponents, the big positive has to be Shehzad's return to form which has to be good for Pakistan and his franchise. Karachi will surely bounce back, they have too much quality not to.
