LQ vs QG (Match – 21) – Highlights
The evening clash between Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, was curtailed due to persistent rainfall, resulting in both sides being allocated one point each. The match, part of a scheduled double-header, was halted after 11.3 overs of play, with Lahore at 111 for three. As a consequence of the washout, Shaheen Shah Afridi-led Lahore Qalandars and Saud Shakeel’s Quetta Gladiators are now tied on nine points apiece, securing the second and third spots, respectively, on the points table.
Looking ahead, Lahore are scheduled to face Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi in their remaining fixtures, while Quetta Gladiators are poised for crucial encounters against Multan Sultans and a double-header against IU.
Earlier in the contest, Quetta won the toss and elected to field first under overcast conditions. Khurram Shahzad made an immediate impact by dismantling Fakhar Zaman’s stumps on just the third delivery of the match. However, the Qalandars rebounded admirably through an imposing 102-run alliance between Mohammad Naeem and Abdullah Shafique. Naeem impressed with a maiden half-century in the PSL 2025, registering a fluent 50 off 30 deliveries, punctuated by three boundaries and four towering sixes. With an undefeated 53 off 32 balls, Abdullah Shafique, meanwhile, maintained his steady form and recorded his eighth PSL fifty in four seasons.
Quetta’s mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed disrupted Lahore’s momentum by dismissing Shafique and Daryl Mitchell in successive overs. Just as the game was poised for a competitive finish, torrential rain forced an early end.
