LAHORE: Multan Sultans defeated Karachi Kings in the 23rd match of this year's Pakistan Super League (PSL) at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore making the Babar Azam-led side the first team to lose eight consecutive matches in the league stages of the six-team tournament.

The development came two days after Karachi Kings made PSL history for becoming the first team to lose seven consecutive matches.

Moreover, the Kings now also have the longest losing streak of nine matches — eight this season and one from the previous PSL edition. The record was previously held by the Lahore Qalandars.

Overall, the Kings are the only second team to lose eight matches — regardless of sequence — in a single edition. The other team to lose eight matches in a season was Quetta, who had lost eight matches in 2021.

Karachi remains without points after eight matches in the ongoing tournament.

Before this, the unwanted record of most consecutive defeat in a single edition of PSL was with Lahore Qalandars.

Qalandars were beaten in six consecutive games in the 2018 season of PSL.
