Quetta Gladiators will be playing their 8th game of this tournament and their 2nd time against Karachi Kings. They are the only team in the league to lose 4 consecutive matches. Quetta Gladiators are in the last spot of the points table and their chances of qualifying for the playoffs are next to nil compared to the other teams in the Pakistan Super League.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Karachi Kings
Karachi Kings batting line-up is doing no wrong in the tournament but due to their weak bowling attack, they’ve lost many in hand games in the league. With a team such as Quetta Gladiators in their opposition they will surely find a way to defeat them and gain the long lost momentum in the tournament. Moreover, Quetta Gladiators will play against Islamabad United before playing against Karachi Kings and might get exhausted in the game against Karachi Kings on the 6th.
