Its the winner v/s the loser. The winless Qals seeking their first victory.

On the other hand Glads are on a whole different level. I still think it’ll be interesting matchup especially if Gayle fires up.

Thats a gigantic total put up by Qals and quetta is already 2 man down. There is no way they can win this match now.
Whatta master blaster by both Akmal and Dalport

Glads 89/3 the halfway... not a bad chase though but wickets intact will matter at the end... :D

lol...3 batsmen got out while chasing wide balls... :D

Finally Lahore got a win and they are back in the tournament. Right now three teams have 2 points each so this result has made PSL far more interesting and wide open. :k:

If they play tomorrow against Zulmis just like today, there is no reason why Qalandars cant win it.

Re: PSL, 8th Match: Lahore Qalandars v Quetta Gladiators at Dubai

Qalandars beat Glads by 63 and are on the points table with 2 points out of 3 games… :smiley:

Gohar 4 and Mendis 3 wickets… :k:

Runs on the board always help.

Lahore's bowling is not great but it clicked today because of scoreboard pressure

Re: PSL, 8th Match: Lahore Qalandars v Quetta Gladiators at Dubai

What do you mean it is not great? Gohar and Mendis both bowled really well! Jeez, give credit where its due!! Lahore played really well today, Rizwan the wicketkeeper dropped few, but the rest of the time I think they've been stunning!! They took catches, they bowled etc!! Even bravo bowled well and got the team wicket!!

Experimenting with Hammad Azam bowling today was something that didn't really pay off and they can avoid in the next match though.

Re: PSL, 8th Match: Lahore Qalandars v Quetta Gladiators at Dubai

JEEEEEZ. Everyone underestimated Lahore going into this match because of their last two matches, but yeah, now that they've won their match, it is due to pressure etc. Whatever. I hope they do even better against Islamabad at Sharjah on 10th! Inshallah!

Re: PSL, 8th Match: Lahore Qalandars v Quetta Gladiators at Dubai

Gohar is such an average bowler. He took wickets just becuz Glads needed to hit every ball. It'll be interesting to see if Gayle is brought back in team or no. Umar Akmal was the real hero of today. But will he do something in other maches, I highly doubt it.

Re: PSL, 8th Match: Lahore Qalandars v Quetta Gladiators at Dubai

From where I see it, their game has increased a lot and taking wickets gives confidence to the bowlers. That's what was lacking in the team before, confidence and unity. We shall see what Umar Akmal does in the next matches. I don't want Gayle to be brought for the next matches. Let him be on the sidelines. He doesn't perform and costs us a wicket every time.
