QUE vs LAH: Team Previews

Quetta Gladiators

Quetta Gladiators have experienced a roller-coaster tournament, bagging four wins, succumbing to three losses, and one match being washed out in their eight encounters. Fresh from a crushing 76-run defeat to Peshawar Zalmi, and previously bowing down to Karachi Kings, the Gladiators are teetering on the brink.

This upcoming match is their do-or-die moment; anything short of victory could extinguish their playoff aspirations. The team is in dire need of a cohesive performance, with both batters and bowlers required to step up after their recent shortcomings.

Lahore Qalandars

On the other hand, defending champions, Lahore Qalandars have encountered a stormy voyage this season, suffering a string of six defeats in a row before tasting victory. However, this win arrived a tad too late, as their dreams of playoff glory were already dashed.

In the most recent face-off with Karachi Kings, the Qalandars showcased a resurgence in form, with Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique leading the charge with commendable half-centuries. However, their bowlers, especially Zaman Khan, failed to hold his nerve as they lost the match on the last ball, suffering yet another heartbreak. Shaheen Afridi's men will now look to close this season's chapter on a high note with a win against the Gladiators.

QUE vs LAH: Karachi Pitch Report

The National Stadium in Karachi has proven to be a batter's paradise, with the pitch favouring high scores and making it a spectacle for fans. For pacers, change of pace will be key and spinners will get help by bowling slower through the air. In the ongoing PSL 2024 matches hosted at this venue, the record has been even with teams batting first and sides chasing, both winning two games each. Hence, the toss could play a crucial role, with captains likely eyeing to bat and put pressure on the opposition with a hefty target.
