One title in 11 seasons is the headline of the Karachi Kings PSL records, and that 2020 trophy remains the only final the franchise has reached in the data. The full tally, covering 114 games between Feb 2016 and Apr 2026, shows 47 victories and 64 defeats, plus 2 ties and a single no result.
Karachi have won 42.3 per cent of matches with a result. Each table splits that record a different way, by season, opponent or player, from Babar Azam’s run tally to the lowest total of 87.
Karachi Kings season by season record
The 2020 season stands apart. Karachi won 6 of 12 matches, with two ties, and finished as champions. No other year has ended in a final.
Most seasons have hovered around even. Karachi won exactly half their games in 2017 and 2026 (5 of 10 each) and went 6-5 in 2025. The low point was 2022: one win, nine losses. The 2023 return of 3-7 was little better. The first season, 2016, also brought only 2 wins from 8.
So the overall losing record is driven by a few poor years rather than a steady slide. The 2025 and 2026 seasons were among the better ones, and Karachi ended the 2026 data with back-to-back wins over Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators, the second by 9 wickets on 25 Apr 2026.
