Karachi Kings kept their playoff hopes alive in the Pakistan Super League Season 11 with a commanding nine-wicket victory over Quetta Gladiators at Gaddafi Stadium.

Chasing a competitive target of 196, Karachi delivered one of their most dominant batting performances of the tournament. The team reached the target in the 19th over, losing just one wicket in a high-pressure encounter that effectively ended Quetta’s campaign.

The chase was powered by captain David Warner and Reeza Hendricks, who dismantled Quetta’s bowling attack with a match-winning partnership. Karachi started strongly with Warner and Jason Roy adding 58 runs for the opening stand before Jahandad Khan dismissed Roy for a quick 20 off 15 balls.

Despite the early breakthrough, Karachi maintained full control of the chase. Hendricks joined Warner at the crease, and the pair built a dominant unbeaten partnership that steadily took the game away from Quetta. Their aggressive yet composed approach ensured the required run rate never became a concern.

Warner led from the front with an outstanding unbeaten 89 off 48 deliveries, smashing 10 fours and four sixes. Hendricks provided perfect support with a fluent 87 not out off 48 balls, including eight boundaries and four sixes. Together, they powered Karachi past key milestones before sealing the victory comfortably.

This win not only boosts Karachi Kings’ chances of qualifying for the playoffs but also highlights their batting strength at a crucial stage of the tournament. With momentum now on their side, Karachi remains firmly in contention as PSL 11 heads toward its living phase.
