Nishant Sidhu who was the stand-in captain in absence of Yash Dhull has reportedly tested positive for Covid-19.

PSL 2022: Will Smeed misses out on ton but Quetta Gladiators put 190/4 vs Peshawar Zalmi

Quetta Gladiators' Will Smeed fell short of a century by just three runs after he was dismissed for 97 off 62 against Peshawar Zalmi. Smeed's knock included four maximums and 11 fours during the course. After being put in to bat by Peshawar, the Gladiators began the proceedings in a brilliant manner as openers Smeed and Ahsan Ali put up a partnership of 155 runs for the first wicket. Ali was eventually undone by Usman Qadir for a 46-ball 73 after being caught in the deep by Sherfane Rutherford. The Quetta side then capitalised on this and pulled the scoring rate a bit. While Smeed lost a couple of partners around, he himself continued to score runs at a brisk pace and helped the side put 190/4 in 20 overs on the board. Usman Qadir was the pick of the bowlers for his team after he returned with figures of 2/20 in 4 overs.
