Karachi Kings’ captain David Warner highlighted the key factors behind their 65-run defeat against arch-rivals Lahore Qalandars in the anticipated HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) clash at the National Bank Stadium on Tuesday.
Warner, while speaking at the post-match ceremony, termed losing early wickets in the powerplay was the turning point of the match.
“Losing those wickets in the powerplay, you’d probably still take the game on but it didn’t work out. One of those games you forget about,” said Warner.
The former Australian opener reiterated that if their batters did not get out on bad bowling there were plenty of positives to take away from the defeat. He also highlighted the shortcomings in the fielding and bowling departments.
“If we didn’t get out to bad bowling, there’s a lot of positives from it. Thought there would be a lot more dew, 200 was par,” said Warner.
“If we caught a bit better and bowled well, it would’ve been easier,” he added.
David Warner concluded by lauding the energy of his team and shared that he is ‘loving’ his time in the PSL.
“I’m loving the energy of this group, everyone’s trying their best both on and off the field. Absolutely loving my time here,” Warner shared.
