David Warner Credits Experience, Team Balance in Karachi Kings’ Playoff Push
Karachi Kings captain David Warner credited experience, smart planning, and explosive finishing as the key factors in his side’s 23-run win over Peshawar Zalmi, a result that sealed their place in the playoffs of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10.
Speaking after being named Player of the Match for his 86 off 50 balls, Warner said the game plan was clear from the toss.
“As I said at the toss, we wanted to bat first,” Warner remarked. “After the first wicket, it was about assessing the conditions. Early on, me and James [Vince] knew it was a good wicket, so we just played normal cricketing shots. With the experience both of us bring, we knew if we stayed for around 10 overs, we could try and back-end it.”
Warner and Vince combined for a 162-run partnership off 89 balls for the second wicket, laying the foundation for a massive total. Though Warner admitted they left “a little bit out there,” he was all praise for the finishing act.
“The way Khushdil [Shah] and [Mohammad] Nabi came out and finished it off was amazing,” he said, referring to the duo’s 70-run stand off just 24 balls that powered Kings to 237-4.
Reflecting on his own form and mindset, David Warner joked about the advantage of being “old” in cricketing terms.
“The best thing about being old [chuckles] is that you’ve played a lot of games,” he further stated. “I think it’s about playing the game in front of you. When you’re batting in the top order, you have time on your side. For us, it was all about building a partnership and momentum to set things up for the backend.”
Warner also hailed his bowlers, particularly Mir Hamza and Hasan Ali, for delivering under pressure.
“Mir Hamza is our strike bowler. We want him to swing the ball up front, and he does exactly what I ask. He’s been exceptional in the powerplay. Hasan Ali just brings so much energy, and the knowledge he has of the game is phenomenal,” he said.

David Warner gone after scoring quick 43 off 28 deliveries against Islamabad... now it would be difficult for KK to chase this target.

I wonder why Warner never bowled Nabi today.
KK conceded 251 runs but didn't bowl Nabi (who has the best economy rate for a bowler in PSL X at 6.41 after 24 overs!). A bit wild to me. Instead he let Jamal bowl 4 overs
You should use your 6th bowling option if your 5 are being taken to the cleaners
Also strange that he opted to field first after KK did so well setting the other day against PZ

David Warner at the post-match interview:
"We can let this one go and focus on winning the remaining three games to secure the silverware. We have a couple of days to regroup, and we must bounce back stronger.
The target was big, but we were confident about chasing it. We aimed to show intent in the first six overs, and our priority was to win the game. We did well until around the 8th or 9th over, but then it slipped out of our hands. Our performance fell short in all three departments—batting, fielding, and bowling."
“Look, for us it’s the same thing — we want to give our best in all three departments. We have to win three games, and we are pumped. We are up and about, and this loss won’t dampen our confidence.”

Warner used to get trolled a lot especially by the English and the general perception of him was that he was a bit loutish but he has really immersed himself into teams in the IPL and now the PSL. A great representative for cricket and despite his age I hope he continues to play in the PSL going forward.

Have to admit, the guy just changed the KK. Great decision by KK to have selected him

He doesn't even have the guts to apologize properly. He's blaming a made up someone else for "telling him" rather than accepting his comments were off the mark.

Meh.. he only made comments, but if he had an earlier draft pick and still overlooked Warner that would had been dumb.
Any idea at what sport was warner was draft, first or second? And who got drafted first???

It is remarkable how Warner is still going strong. He is now 38 years old. Too old for T20.

Ali Khan Tareen on David Warner on his X:
'The way David Warner led the team was amazing to see. I have to admit what I was told about him not being a team player was complete bs. He’s the man! Huge respect'
