Last Meeting of Quetta Gladiators vs Lahore Qalandars
Lahore Qalandars cruised to an eight-wicket victory over Quetta Gladiators with two top-order runs and a ruthless new-ball bowling performance. It started with Afridi’s characteristic opening over, which resulted in two wickets, including the prized scalp of Jason Roy. The Gladiators had quickly fallen to 25 for 4, with the recovery only putting them to 141. The home side never really faced a threat, as fifty-plus scores from Fakhar Zaman and Kamran Ghulam saw them cruise to victory with 2.3 overs to spare.
Roy gloved the second ball of the game to Phil Salt behind the stumps, and the Gladiators looked like the sluggish, unimpressive side that had only one win in four games without him. James Vince, another Englishman, was cleaned up with a pearler, darting between bat and pad to clean up the stumps. Soon after, the Gladiators’ penchant for errant running cost them dearly, with the previous day’s Player of the Match Sarfaraz Ahmed being run out cheaply off a direct hit. Rashid Khan, who bowled a brilliant spell of only 13 runs in four overs, bowled Ahsan Ali with a googly in his first over, sending the Gladiators reeling.

The recovery began with another cameo from Umar Akmal, followed by a 51-run stand between Iftikhar Ahmed and Hassan Khan. Iftikhar hit a 39-ball 52 to guarantee the Gladiators had something to bowl at, but they needed to bat through the innings to give them a realistic total. The innings ended when he holed out in the 18th over.
In the second inning, there was minimal danger. The Qalandars didn’t go all out on the powerplay because they didn’t have to. Ghulam Mudassar dismissed Abdullah Shafique early, but Fakhar’s amazing PSL run showed no signs of slowing. The opener hit six boundaries in a 42-ball 53, and even when he top-edged one off Noor Ahmed to conclude his innings, his team needed only 24 more in 27 balls.
Mudassar and Mohammad Hafeez easily dispatched them as the Qalandars maintained their second-place position. They’re on the verge of making the playoff rounds of a competition that will now be exclusively played at home for them. After all, the team accustomed to coming last may have some home glory in store for them.
