Earlier, Quetta Gladiators pacemaker Naseem Shah swept the Karachi Kings batting line-up with an impressive 5-20, limiting them to a total of 113 runs.
After being asked to bat first by Sarfaraz, the Kings were under pressure early on as the Gladiators dominated both in the bowl and on the field.
Except for Aamir Yamin who scored 20 points and Imad Wasim who scored 26, Babar remained the top scorer with 32 points. Otherwise, it was a miserable story for Kings, who could have been out even less than 100.
Sohail Tanvir had previously wreaked havoc in the Kings’ top order, taking two wickets in the third. Sharjeel Khan and Joe Clarke were sent to the pavilion.
Naseem claimed two wickets on two consecutive deliveries in the fifth. He snubbed Mohammad Nabi like a duck. Tom Lammon could only score three points.
Naseem Shah then grabbed two more wickets, Mohammad Ilyas and Imad Wasim, on the 15th and 17th overs respectively. In the game, Shah took five wickets.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Nawaz and James Faulkner each took a wicket.
