The second group-stage match of the PSL 2026 will witness a high-voltage face-off between Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators. The riveting encounter will be played at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. 

Karachi Kings were impressive in the PSL 2025, as they qualified for the Eliminator of the tournament. As they marked their exit following a defeat to the eventual champions, Lahore Qalandars, the Kings would be keen to break their title drought this year. 

Apart from captain David Warner, the Karachi Kings batting unit will be led by the experienced trio of Muhammad Waseem, Salman Ali Agha and Khushdil Shah. 

Azam Khan and Moeen Ali will be tasked to spearhead the middle order, while Abbas Afridi, Hasan Ali, Adam Zampa and Mir Hamza will form the bowling attack. 

Talking about Quetta Gladiators, they finished as the runners-up in the previous season, losing to Lahore Qalandars in the final. Skipper Saud Shakeel will be key to the Gladiators' success as they eye redemption after securing the wooden spoon in six consecutive seasons. 

Hasan Nawaz, Khawaja Nafay and Rilee Rossouw are expected to be their go-to batting options, while Jahandad Khan, Abrar Ahmed and Usman Tariq form a potent bowling department. 

As both teams prepare for the mega clash, here are the Gaddafi Stadium pitch report and Lahore weather report for the Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators match.
