LHQ vs QTG Match Prediction & Analysis
Bottom-ranked Lahore Qalandars face off fourth-placed Quetta Gladiators in an important PSL fixture at Karachi. Team Lahore, the current champions, may not have much to take away from this match, with their hopes of qualifying to the knockout matches dashed.
But Quetta Gladiators is still in with a chance, they’re just 2 points shy from Peshawar Zalmi and are level with Islamabad United, with a game in hand. Their bruised NRR is the lowest of all teams this season but two wins in two matches they all but assure themselves of a place in the top four and perhaps a top two finish.
However, it all comes down to how it pans out for the other teams in the last fixture of the group stages. Going into this match, Quetta Gladiators will pin their hopes on putting an all-round performance to pick up a win that edges them towards their goal: a place in the knockouts.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Lahore Qalandars Preview
Defending champions Lahore Qalandars have had a shocker of a season. They came into the tournament hoping to replicate their heroics of last season, but they never played like one.
They lost a string of matches, first six to be precise, and were running the risk of going through a whole season without any win to show for it, when their fixture vs Peshawar Zalmi had to be called off without a ball bowled. But, in their eighth outing, they showed glimpses of what they were able to achieve last season with a wonderful team display that saw them defeat Islamabad United by 17 runs.
Shaheeh Shah Afridi scored some useful lower order runs to take their team to a respectable score, and picked up a couple of wickets to set United batsmen from chasing down the total. Zaman Khan, who picked up four wickets, and Rassie Van Der Dussen, who scored 64 off 44 earlier, contributed to the lone win of the Qalandars in a season that has left the players wondering ‘if only’ or ‘what could have been’.
A string of losses early on in the competition means even a win in the final fixture would not help be enough for them to avoid being the wooden spoon holders. And what a fall it would be- from the top one season to the bottom the next.
Lahore Qalandars Predicted Playing XI:
Jason Roy, Saud Shakeel, Khawaja Nafay, Rilee Rossouw (c), Omair Yousuf, Laurie Evans (wk), Akeal Hosein, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Amir, Abrar Ahmed, Sohail Khan.

Quetta Gladiators Preview
Quetta Gladiators took a pounding last match. A 76-run defeat to Peshawar Zalmi hurt their NRR so bad that it now stands at -0.63, the worst of all teams.
But, luckily for them, they’re in a position where they don’t have to deliberate much about the NRR or figure out the different possible scenarios. They have two games in hand, and a win in each will take them to 13 points, guaranteeing them a place in the knockouts. What’s interesting is, though, that they’d be facing the bottom-ranked Qalandars first and the table-toppers Multan Sultans in their final fixture of the regular group stages.
They’ll need their top run-getters Jason Roy and Saud Shakeel to fire, and other players namely Shane Rutherford, Khawaja Nafay and Rilee Rossouw have to work up some form and find a way to contribute.
The Gladiators are where they are, thanks to some impressive bowling by their spin dup Abrar Ahmed and Akeal Hosein, who have 25 wickets between them.Credit to them for stepping up and taking responsibility when their pacers especially Mohd Amir and Mohd Wasim have had a very ordinary season.
Quetta Gladiators Predicted Playing XI:
Fakhar Zaman, Mirza Tahir Baig, Abdullah Shafique, Shai Hope (wk), Shaheen Afridi (c), Sikandar Raza, Ahsan Bhatti, David Wiese, Jahandad Khan, Tayyab Abbas, Zaman Khan.
