PSL 2022: Sixth successive defeat leaves Karachi Kings on the brink of elimination
PSL 2022: Karachi Kings’ nightmarish season in the Pakistan Super League 7 continued as the Babar Azam-led 2020 champions lost their sixth successive match of the season as Peshawar Zalmi kept alive hopes of a play-off berth with a 55-run win in tournament’s 19th match played at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on Sunday afternoon.
The defeat has left Kings needing a miracle to reach the play-offs as they would not only need to win all of their remaining four matches, they would also need other results to go in their favour. Zalmi have now won three out of their seven matches and remain in the hunt for a play-off berth.
