QUE vs LAH - Toss Factor

The captain winning the toss will look to bowl first here. Chasing sides have tasted more success than teams batting first in T20s in Karachi.

Scenario: If Quetta Gladiators wins the toss

If Quetta Gladiators wins the toss, they will look to field first. Chasing sides have found more success in T20s at this venue. The spin duo of Abrar Ahmed and Akeal Hosein have picked up the most wickets for the Qalandars so far this season. The former has 12 wickets while Akeal has 13 scalps to his name including a hat-trick in the last game. The pair will again be looking to do their job in this fixture.

Scenario: If Lahore Qalandars wins the toss

The Qalandars would also like to bowl first here. Pace bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Zaman Khan are the leading wicket-takers for the Qalandars in their dismal campaign. Skipper Shaheen has picked up 11 while Zaman has ten wickets under his belt. The duo will look to restrict the Gladiators to a low total. Batting will rely on the in-form batters Rassie van der Dussen and Sahibzada Farhan.


QUE vs LAH - Top Captain and Vice Captain Picks

Scenario: If Quetta Gladiators Bats First

Jason Roy - Jason Roy is leading the batting charts for the Gladiators this season. The right-handed opening batter has struck 231 runs and is averaging 33 with two half-centuries to his name. The Englishman is a must and obvious pick for this category.


Saud Shakeel has been impressive with the bat for the Gladiators (Source: x.com)Saud Shakeel has been impressive with the bat for the Gladiators (Source: x.com)

Saud Shakeel - Saud Shakeel has hit the second-most runs after Roy for the Gladiators in this campaign. The 28-year old left-handed opening player has amassed 221 runs at an average of 32 with one half-century. Shakeel and Roy have been doing the bulk of the scoring for the Gladiators.


Scenario: If Lahore Qalandars Bats First

Rassie van der Dussen - Rassie van der Dussen has hit the most runs for the Qalandars thus far. The right-handed South African has racked up 364 runs at an average of 73 with one century and three half-centuries. He is a definite and no-brainer pick for this category.

Sahibzada Farhan - Sahibzada Farhan has amassed the second-most runs after van der Duseen for Lahore. The right-handed opening player has scored 241 runs at an impressive average of 40.16 which includes three half-centuries. He along with van der Dussen are the only in-form players from Lahore.


QUE vs LAH - High Risk, High Reward

Khawaja Nafay (QUE) - Khawaja Nafay has hit the third-most runs after Roy and Shakeel for the Gladiators in PSL 9. The right-handed middle-order player has scored close to 150 runs at an average of 27 with one fifty. Notably, he won the Player of the Match award for his unbeaten knock of 60 against the Qalandars itself.

Fakhar Zaman (LAH) - Destructive left-handed opening batter Fakhar Zaman hasnt quite performed in Lahore's dismal season. The 33-year old is a quality and proven performer and is due for a big knock. This may be the fixture in which Zaman finally gets going.


QUE vs LAH Stay Aways

Rilee Rossouw (QUE) - Qalandars skipper Rilee Rossouw is going through a lean patch at the moment. The left-handed South African has managed to score only 120 runs in seven innings at a poor average of 20 and with the highest score of 34*. The 34-year old could well be avoided for this fixture.

Sikandar Raza (LAH) - Sikandar Raza has hit only 63 runs in six innings at an average of a mere 10.5 and with the highest score of 23. The Zimbabwean all-rounder has also picked up just two wickets in five innings. Raza looks out of form and so should be given a miss.
