Quetta Gladiators have won the toss and have opted to field

18:00 Local Time, 13:00 GMT, 18:30 IST: Hello and a warm welcome to our live coverage of match 16 of PSL 2024. Karachi Kings failed to win their first game in front of their home crowd last night as they were handed a humbling loss by Islamabad United. Another challenging match awaits the hosts as they are ready to square off against the in-form Quetta Gladiators. The Kings have lacked consistency and as a result, have only won 2 of their 4 matches. Quetta Gladiators, on the other hand, had a terrific start to their campaign with three wins in a row. The Gladiators lost against the table-toppers, Multan Sultans, in their previous match, and would be eyeing to get the momentum back. The pitch was a bit slow in Karachi last night. It will be interesting to see how it plays tonight. Can the Kings rise to the occasion? Or will the Gladiators put forth a sparkling performance? Stay tuned as toss and team lineups will be announced in a while…
