QG vs KK, PSL 2026: Karachi Kings have set a 182-run target for Quetta Gladiators. David Warner and Moeen Ali’s knocks, along with Salman Ali Agha’s cameo, got them there, but one would think they left a few runs out there since dew will set in the 2nd innings.

QG vs KK live score: Karachi Kings win

27/03/2026 22:52

Karachi Kings claims an easy 14-run victory in the end. It looked like all was lost by the end of the powerplay as Quetta Gladiators were 75/0 chasing 182. But they lost their way with Karachi spinners changing the game and helping them start PSL 2026 with a win.

QG vs KK live score: Shocking knock from Hasan Nawaz

27/03/2026 22:44

It's not often one says a player has played a match-losing knock but Hasan Hawaz has done that. Just 19 off 24 when your team needed 87 from 60 is criminal. Even a 30 off 24 could've done the trick but a strike rate of 79 in a 182-run chance can't be justified.

QG vs KK live score: Top over

27/03/2026 22:41

A good over from Mir Hamza. Considering Quetta needed 18 per over to win, giving away 11 is great. Ben McDermott has started well but Hasan Nawaz's slow down has already costed them.

QG vs KK live score: Quetta 4 down

27/03/2026 22:31

The pressure was mounting and Rilee Rossouw had to do something. He steps down the track to hit Hasan Ali out of the park but misses the ball entirely and the stumps are in a mess. Karachi are on top now.

QG vs KK live score: Required RR rising

27/03/2026 22:24

Quetta have lost their way. The required run rate is 10.67 now. Hasan Nawaz is stuck, 8 off 13. He need to get going or Karachi will win.

QG vs KK live score: Saud Shakeel GONE

27/03/2026 22:12

Spin is doing the trick for Karachi. Moeen Ali claims Quetta captain Saud Shakeel's wicket. He goes for an inside-out shot over covers but finds the man at long off, who runs to his right to take a catch. Are Kings back in it? The run rate is still under 9. They might need another quick wicket to reach parity.

QG vs KK live score: Khawaja Nafay OUT

27/03/2026 22:03

Khawaja Nafay comes and goes. Zampa has been bowling well and catches the batter in two minds. A googly that Nafay didn't exactly know what to do with. It pitched on off and spin enough to beat him. He should've played it on the front foot but went back instead and tried to flick it on the leg side.

QG vs KK live score: Fifty and out

27/03/2026 21:56

Salman Ali Agha takes a wicket on his first ball. Karachi finally have a wicket. Shamyl isn't happy with himself but the entire Quetta dressing room claps as he walks back. It was shortist ball outside off that he tried to smash at midwicket, but he doesn't connect well and the ball goes to Moeen Ali at long on.

QG vs KK live score: Fifty for Shamyl Hussain

27/03/2026 21:52

What an innings from Shamyl Hussain to start his IPL 2026 campaign. Surely, the match is already sealed for Quetta.

Karachi need to do something quickly. Maybe Adam Zampa's introduction will work.

27/03/2026 21:40

The southpaw openers, Shakeel and Shamyl Hussain, are making things easy for Gladiators. While Moeen has kept it tight to some extent, the fast bowlers have been dispatched. First, Mir Hamza was hit for 12 and now Hasan Ali goes for 16 in the 4th over.

QG vs KK live score: Moeen Ali starts

27/03/2026 21:25

Moeen Ali, who was Karachi's best batter is bowling the first overas well. But Saud Shakeel takes the negative match-up on and scores 2 boundaries off him.

QG vs KK live score: Innings done

27/03/2026 21:11

This is a decent recovery from Karachi here. They were 109/5 in 13.2 overs at one stage and from there they went on to score 181. That was mainly because of Moeen Ali's effort of 48 from 29.

QG vs KK live score: OUT

27/03/2026 21:04

Joseph gets his second wicket here. He gets the wicket of Shahid Aziz. It is not a great score for Karachi, but from where they were a few overs back, they should be content.

QG vs KK live score: OUT

27/03/2026 20:54

Daniyal comes and claims his third wicket here. Khushdil Shah is the one who departs. Not looking good for Karachi at all here.

QG vs KK live score: And now a turnaround

27/03/2026 20:48

Moeen, looks like, was sent the message from the dressing room. He gets going with a six and a four, and now Khushdil Shah is getting in the groove as well.

QG vs KK live score: Moeen Ali struggling

27/03/2026 20:43

Moeen Ali is unable to get boundaries consistently. He needs to go hard, or the score won't go past 150 also. Tom Curran finishes over.

QG vs KK live score: Wicket

27/03/2026 20:36

Usman Tariq has the wicket of Azam Khan. This is poor batting by Karachi. Excellent bowling by Quetta bowlers here.

QG vs KK live score: 160 for Karachi?

27/03/2026 20:34

Karachi Kings should be looking to get at least 160 from here. But Quetta have done well here to get wickets regularly and stop the flow of runs.

QG vs KK live score: USman Tariq troubling batters again

27/03/2026 20:29

Usman Tariq comes up with a three-run over only. Azam Khan seems to be in a bit of trouble against the mystery spinner.

QG vs KK live score: BOWLED

27/03/2026 20:23

There you go. Abrar has gotten rid opf Warner for 35 from 22 deliveries. A sweep has cost him dear as Quetta on top now.

QG vs KK live score: OUT

27/03/2026 20:17

Saad Baig is out for 30 from 23 as Ahmed Daniyal has his second wicket. The run rate has dropped under 10 for the first time now.

QG vs KK live score: Karachi going strong

27/03/2026 20:11

Karachi would be looking to go for 200 here. The run rate has been over 10 throughout, and Warner is looking as threatening as ever.

QG vs KK live score: Powerplay done

27/03/2026 20:04

Abrar Ahmed comes up with a clean over, that fetches only 6 runs. No team is ahead for now. Usman Tariq is yet to start his quota.

QG vs KK live score: Change in bowling

27/03/2026 19:53

Ahmed Daniyal comes into the attack, and the result is the same. Both Warner and Agha are dealing in boundaries. This over sees hat-trick of boundaries. Oh, out of nowhere, Agha is out LBW.

QG vs KK live score: Another drop

27/03/2026 19:47

Warner gets a second lifeline, and this time the bowler is Joseph. First the batter gets two fours and then he is dropped. Quetta will feel the pinch later on as four boundaries come in the over.

QG vs KK live score: Tom Curran into the attack

27/03/2026 19:43

Oh it is a drop. Tom Curran must be livid. He is dropped at the slips. This could have been game-deciding, had the catch been taken.

QG vs KK live score: All eyes on Warner

27/03/2026 19:32

Alzarri Joseph to start the proceedings for Quetta. Warner and Waseem to open the innings for Karachi Kings. It has been a slow start in the first over. Oh no, UAE's Waseem has been caught out in the circle. Rilee takes the catch.

QG vs KK Live Score: Warner on Karachi Kings debut

27/03/2026 19:09

(First Australian full-time captain in the PSL) Look, it feels great to represent Karachi again and lead from the front. Hopefully, this year we can go a little bit better than last year. (3 Australian captains make the job competitive) It's fantastic. For cricket over here in Pakistan, we owe a lot to Pakistan cricket. We toured here a couple of years ago for the first test in a long time, so we love coming back. It's great to have some fellow teammates here as well. [Pitch] We got some feedback about last night. It was a little bit on the slow side, but it looks like the grass coverage has come back a bit. It looks like the ball might stay low and there might be a little more skid than last night. (Starting lineup) We've got a few debutants. There's me, Zampa, and a few others – six debutants in total.

QG vs KK Live Score: Shakeel speaks

27/03/2026 19:08

We'll bowl first. I think with the sunlight early on, dew will come in later, and that's why we are bowling first. (On 2nd season as captain) I'm used to playing for Quetta Gladiators; this is my third year straight, so I'm happy. (On Usman and Abrar) They both are playing. They are our important bowlers; we are relying on them and looking forward to their performance. (First game) I think it's very important. You set the tempo there, and you want your team to start well, so we are looking for that

QK vs KK: Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report

27/03/2026 18:21

The Gaddafi Stadium pitch is generally flat and batting-friendly, favouring stroke-makers with good bounce and pace, leading to high-scoring T20 games (average 1st innings scores are often around 170-180 in the PSL). In the opening match yesterday, Lahore Qalandars posted 199 while batting first, proving the point. Pacers get early assistance and bounce, while spinners can come into play as the surface slows slightly. In night matches, dew can make chasing easier by reducing grip for spinners and aiding batters. Teams winning the toss often prefer to chase.
