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.
