Karachi Kings got off to a flying start to their campaign, beating Quetta Gladiators, arch-rivals Lahore Qalandars and Rawalpindis respectively before suffering a record defeat by 159 runs at the hands of reigning leaders Peshawar Zalmi.
Hyderabad Kingsmen, on the other hand, lost all four of their matches against Qalandars, Gladiators, Sultans and Zalmi respectively and finished only seventh due to a relatively higher net run rate than fellow debutants Bindis.
