Karachi Kings suffered an almighty collapse in their chase against Quetta Gladiators on Friday (April 25). Here's what the PSL points table looks like after the result.
Match 15 of the 2025 PSL season provided thrills aplenty as Quetta Gladiators triumphed in a low-scoring game. They were put in to bat after Karachi skipper David Warner won the toss, and had an inauspicious start as openers Saud Shakeel and Finn Allen were both dismissed in the second over.

In reply, Karachi lost David Warner early, but James Vince and Tim Seifert put on 73 for the second wicket. They were 93-3 in 11.5 overs after both were dismissed, meaning they needed 50 off 49 balls with seven wickets in hand.
But Quetta's bowlers rallied, and ripped out the middle-order, reducing Karachi to 102-6, 107-7 and finally 115-8 after 17.3 overs. No.10 Mir Hamza then gave Hassan Ali (24*) company, but the ask was too much for the tail, as they eventually fell short by five runs.
