The match began with Karachi Kings posting a competitive total of 175/7, powered by a composed 70 off 47 deliveries from James Vince. He was well-supported by handy contributions from David Warner (31) and Mohammad Nabi (18).
In reply, Quetta Gladiators faltered early, with their top order collapsing and momentum never quite building. A brisk 30 off 16 from Mohammad Amir offered a glimmer of hope, but it wasn’t enough, as Quetta limped to 119/9.
One of the most memorable moments came late in the innings—bringing a dose of comedy to an otherwise one-sided affair.
In the 19th over, Hasan Ali bowled a clever slower delivery to Abrar Ahmed, who tried an ambitious heave after shuffling across the stumps. He missed completely, and the ball clattered into the leg stump.

What followed had everyone smiling—Hasan turned to Abrar and playfully mimicked his signature head-nod celebration. The light-hearted banter ended on a warm note as Hasan walked over and hugged Abrar, a gesture that won hearts both on the field and across social media.
