Last year, Lahore were the first team to put up a 200+ score on the board and courtesy Mohammad Nabi, Quetta chased it down on the last ball.
Today, it was Kevin Pietersen (88* off 42) and captain Sarfraz Ahmed (45 off 25) who took charge of the chase and helped Gladiators chase the target with seven balls to spare.
