Kings win toss, opt to field against Gladiators

Karachi Kings have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Quetta Gladiators in the second match of the day being played at Dubai International Stadium on Tuesday.

The Gladiators are now placed fifth at the points table, with six points out of equal number of matches, boosting a number of all-rounder. This includes Shane Watson, Mohammad Nawaz, Anwar Ali and last night’s hero Hasan Khan, who have the ability to mint runs till the end, which proved crucial in their latest victory.

Meanwhile, the Kings who tasted their first defeat of the PSL season against Islamabad United in their last match, were missing the explosive hitting powers and leg spin of Shahid Afridi.
