Lahore, Apr 26 (UNI) A stunning collapse from Karachi Kings saw Quetta Gladiators claim a five-run victory in the Pakistan Super League.
Karachi lost six wickets for 22 runs in the space of 5.4 overs as their chase disintegrated following a promising start on Friday night.
Needing 143, Karachi were cruising at 75-1 thanks to 47 from opener Tim Seifert and 30 from James Vince.
But Seifert's dismissal at the end of the 12th over saw them slip from 93-2 to 115-8 with just 15 balls remaining.
Hasan Ali's battling unbeaten 24 from 13 deliveries lifted Karachi back to within sight of victory, but it was too little, too late.
Mohammad Wasim, Mohammad Amir and Khurram Shahzad picked up two wickets apiece for Quetta, who secured their second win of the season.
Faheem Ashraf had earlier top-scored with 43 as Quetta scrambled their way to 142 all out, with Kusal Mendis (36) and Hasan Nawaz (35) the only other players to score more than 10.
The win takes Gladiators level on points with Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi with a game
in hand, but they remain behind both sides in fifth because of their inferior net run-rate.
Karachi stay second and four points behind leaders Islamabad United having played a game more.
