Battle of Kachhi was fought between the Khanate of Kalat under Mir Abdullah Khan and Kalhora Sindh led by Mian Noor Mohammad Kalhoro due to the territorial dispute over the Kachhi region in Balochistan. [1]

In the year 1142 AH (1729 AD) Murad Kaleri was appointed by Mian Noor Mohammad Kalhoro as an agent in charge of Siwí, and brought into subjection powerful chiefs. In 1144 AH (1731 AD) a Baloch force under Khan of Kalat Mir Abdullah Khan in open contravention of the terms of the peace, invaded the land of Káchi and plundered that part of the country. To counter the attack Mian Noor Mohammad Kalhoro himself marched out and encamped at Ládkanah. From there he dispatched some chiefs to fight with Khan of Kalat Mir Abdullah Khan Brauhvi. Mir Abdullah was eventually slain in a fight with the Kalhoras at Jandrihar near Sanni in Kachhi. [1]

During the reign of Mir Abdullah's successor, Mir Muhabbat, Nadir Shah rose to power; and the Ahmadzai ruler obtained through him in 1740 the cession of Kachhi, in compensation for the blood of Mir Abdullah and the men who had fallen with him. [1]
