Captain Saud Shakeel remained unbeaten on 33 from 40 balls but struggled to accelerate, while Mohammad Amir’s late 30 off 16 balls was not enough to threaten the Kings. Mohammad Nabi, making his first appearance of the season, bowled four tight overs for just seven runs and claimed the wickets of Kusal Mendis and Rilee Rossouw.

Hasan Ali continued his excellent form, taking three wickets for 27 runs and becoming the leading wicket-taker in PSL history with 116 wickets.

Earlier, Karachi posted 175-7, powered by a brisk start from David Warner (31 off 20) and Tim Seifert (27 off 15). Vince anchored the innings with a well-made 70 from 47 balls, while Nabi’s late 18 off 12 gave the Kings a strong finish. For Quetta, Ali Majid and Mohammad Amir each took two wickets, but Karachi’s total proved more than enough.
