Quetta Gladiators tied Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 points table after registering their second win of the tournament at Pindi Cricket Stadium.
Their 4-wicket win miraculously keeps them alive in the hunt for PSL 8 playoffs by the barest of margins.
The Gladiators have beaten the Kings twice this season for their only wins in this tournament.
Karachi, meanwhile, is almost certain to finish outside the top 4 after losing their seventh match of the 8th edition.
