They recovered to make 7-169, thanks to Nitish Kumar’s 55 off 37 balls, Kieron Pollard’s 28 off 16, and Mohammad Naveed’s 26 off 13.
The Edmonton Royals chased down the target with five overs to spare, reaching 2-173.
Openers Andre Fletcher of West Indies (68 not out) and Luke Ronchi of New Zealand (47) combined for 71, and Fletcher finished the rout with Agha Salman and Farhaan Behardien.
