The target of 169 runs for the victory against Quetta Gladiator in the match on February 18

A hat trick of defeats
With 117 runs out of 168 by Guptal alone, Karachi Kings lost a match they had seemingly won

Season 7 of PSL proved to be a nightmare for Karachi Kings, but the beginning of season 8 is also going to be similar, but now Karachi Kings have also completed the hat-trick of consecutive defeats.

The target of 169 runs for the victory against Quetta Gladiator in the match on February 18 was not too big and the decision to win the toss and bowl Quetta first seemed correct for some time as the Kings in the power play killed four of Quetta's main batsmen. Baz was dismissed for 23 runs and six of the eight batsmen were not allowed to reach double figures, but by scoring only 162 runs in the allotted twenty overs, Kings lost this match by 6 runs.

In Quetta's win, only one of his batsmen stood out, the lone standout, Martin Guptal, the first century scorer of PSL 8, who hit 5 sixes and 12 fours off 67 balls at a strike rate of 174.62. 117 runs were scored with the help of

On behalf of Karachi, captain Imad Wasim and Aamir Yameen dismissed 3.3 batsmen and put Quetta in a lot of trouble and then Shoaib Malik played an innings of 71 not out from 49 balls to win the match. Even tried till now, but now the first success seems far from Kings and it has been proved once again that Karachi has lost the third match in a row by a difference of six runs.

It will not be wrong to say that Quetta strengthened its grip on the match in the last five overs in both the batting and bowling fields and was successful. Especially the last overs of Naseem and Hasnain were very good. It is also true that the ball was not hitting the bat properly, but this was also the case for both teams, so the one who controlled the nerves, has been successful.

In PSL 8 so far it has also been seen that the team that bats first wins. Despite this, why is the captain winning the toss and feeding the other team? It is beyond understanding and Kings captain Imad also did the same by winning the toss and opening Quetta first.

Another problem seen in Karachi's three matches is that they are not able to "finish" the game.
