Quetta Gladiators vs Karachi Kings Highlights, PSL 2025 Match 15
The 15th game of the Pakistan Super League was a true nail-biter. In this article, we will discuss Quetta Gladiators vs Karachi Kings Highlights. Quetta Gladiators held their total of 142 for a 5-run victory against the Karachi Kings. On top of Faheem Ashraf’s great middle-order batting effort (43 off 27) and Kusal Mendis’ contribution of 36, Quetta’s batting continued to be in trouble after some early blows because of the important dismissals of Rilee Rossouw and Saud Shakeel.
The Gladiators managed to post a competitive score of 142 in 19.3 overs, with their bowlers doing just as well, with two wickets from Mohammad Amir and Khurram Shahzad. The Karachi Kings’ frequent wicket falls always placed them on the back foot, eliminating the possibility of developing a partnership. Tim Seifert scored a good number of innings and was the top scorer with 47 runs off 26, while the rest of the batting lineup couldn’t make any notable contribution. A late spurt by Hasan Ali, contributing 24 runs in a jiffy, injected some hope into Karachi’s pursuit, but they were left with only 137 to their credit.
