Quetta Gladiators- Season-wise Performance:
Quetta Gladiators were one of the most consistent teams in the first four seasons of the PSL. In the inaugural season, they finished the league stage at the second spot in the points table after winning six of the eight games.
In the first qualifier, they beat Peshawar Zalmi to qualify for the final. However, they could not win the final against Islamabad United, losing the game by six wickets. In the second season, Quetta Gladiators once again finished at the second spot in the points table and qualified for the final. In the final, they faced Peshawar Zalmi and lost the game by 58 runs.
In 2018, Quetta Gladiators qualified for the playoffs once again but failed to make it to the final. Quetta Gladiators finally laid their hands on the PSL trophy in 2019. They finished the league stage at the second spot in the points table with 7 wins and 3 defeats.
They beat Peshawar Zalmi by 10 runs in the qualifier before beating the same opponents by 8 wickets in the final to win their maiden title. Things went downhill for Quetta Gladiators after the title-winning campaign. From 2020 to 2023, they failed to advance ahead of the league stage for four seasons in a row.
During this phase, they finished at the bottom of the points table twice. Quetta Gladiators ended the disappointing streak in 2024 by qualifying for the playoffs although they could not make it to the final.
