Multan Sultans, who had not won a single game since round two, cracked their losing streak of five games when they defeated the top-ranked team of the standings, Lahore Qalandars in the previous round. Karachi Kings who had been on a winning high were beaten by the Quetta Gladiators in that round. This round, the two teams clashed and to the surprise of everyone, the underdogs beat the favourites, and they did so, quite convincingly.
Multan Sultans have now won four games and have one left to play, whereas the Karachi Kings have three wins under their name but, with three games remaining. It would be an overstatement to say that the Karachi Kings are out, but the sudden change in performances between these two teams leads one to speculate that the two teams have changed fates. Is this truly the case?
