Qalandars Inch Closer to Multan in PSL Points Table After Win Against Quetta

Lahore Qalandars closed the gap on Multan Sultans on the top of the PSL points table as they defeated Quetta Gladiators convincingly. Quetta on the other hand lost their fourth match of the season and are currently at the fourth spot with 6 points in 7 matches.

Quetta got off to a horrid start as they lost their star batters Jason Roy and James Vince in the first over of the innings. They failed to recover from their early setbacks as Lahore tightened the grip. Ifitkhar Ahmed managed to put on some fight and scored a fine half-century to take the total to a respectable 141/7.

Lahore got off to a solid start with Abdullah Shafique and Fakhar Zaman taking their time to settle on a testing pitch. Lahore started to motor along as Fakhar Zaman scored his fifth half-century of the tournament. Kamran Ghulam also scored a fine half-century as they chased down the target with 8 wickets in hand.

Shaheen Afridi was named as the player of the match for his exceptional spell at the start of the innings. Shaheen finished with figures of 27/2 in his 4 overs.


Pre Match

Lahore Qalandars will face Quetta Gladiators in the 20th match of the PSL 2022 on Sunday, 13 February. The match, scheduled at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, will start at 7:30 pm PKT.

Match Preview

Quetta Gladiators will look to continue their winning momentum and climb up the PSL points table as they face the second-placed Lahore Qalandars in a highly-anticipated encounter. A win for Quetta will take them level on points with Qalandars but only a win by a huge margin will help them leapfrog Qalandars in second place. A win for Qalandars on the other hand will take them just two points behind league leaders Multan Sultans and solidify their position the second spot.

Quetta pulled off an amazing run-chase against Islamabad United last night and they will be determined to continue their fine form against an in-form Qalandars. However, Quetta have been dealt yet another blow as legendary all-rounder, Shahid Afridi has backed out of the tournament due to injury.

Lahore, on the other hand, have a fully fit squad and will be looking to continue their winning momentum as they hunt for their first-ever PSL title. Qalandars are firing on all cylinders and they will be hoping that their players stay focused for the win.

Quetta are expected to make one change from their previous line-up as Hassan Khan will likely come in place of Shahid Afridi. Lahore on the other hand are likely to name an unchanged eleven.

Head to Head

Overall, the two sides have come face to face 13 times in the tournament. Gladiators have an upper hand as they have won 7 while Qalandars have won 6. They last faced each other on 7 February at National Stadium Karachi which Quetta won by 7 wickets.

X-Factor

Mohammad Hafeez has been unable to rediscover his form of old and Lahore will be hoping that he can get into his flow ahead of the all-important clash. Hafeez’s contribution in the middle phase of the innings will be crucial for Qalandars heading into the business end of the tournament.

Umar Akmal came back with a bang in the previous encounter and he showcased his class as he was influential in Quetta’s victory over Islamabad. Quetta will be hoping that Akmal continues his blistering performance with another explosive innings. Akmal’s contribution as a finisher will be vital for Quetta in the rest of the tournament.
