Analysis
The sides last met in the first leg of the PSL season in Karachi on 20 February 2021. Batting first in that game, Gladiators got off to a poor start, losing 2 wickets for just 17 runs. A mini recovery ensued in the form of a partnership between Saim Ayub and Chris Gayle, but after Ayub was out with the scorecard reading 3 for 55, the innings unravelled, with a regular fall of wickets. As things transpired, Gladiators were bowled out for 121 in 18.2 overs. Gayle who scored 39 off 24 balls was Gladiators’ most impressive batsman but he received little assistance from the other batsmen, with only Azam Khan, Ben Cutting and Qais Ahmad among them reaching double figures. For Kings, Arshad Iqbal proved the best bowler, taking 3 for 16. Waqas Maqsood took 2 wickets, while Imad Wasim, M Amir, A Yamin and Dan Christian took a wicket each.
When Kings replied, they lost Sharjeel Khan’s wicket with only 4 runs on the board. But a couple of partnerships, the first between Babar Azam and Joe Clarke for the 2nd wicket and the second between Azam and Ingram for the 3rd, saw Kings recover to 87 for 3 in the 11th over. Kings managed to surmount the modest target without further loss of wickets in 13.5 overs. Clarke, who scored 46 off 23 balls, was the top scorer for Kings, while Babar (24), Ingram (17) and Nabi (30) played useful cameos. For Gladiators, Hasnain (2/18) and Shinwari (1/10) were the only wicket-takers.
