Lahore Qalandars imposed the biggest defeat on unbeaten Quetta Gladiators
on Monday as they beat them by 63 runs in the eighth match of the Pakistan
Super League (PSL) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
In their chase, Quetta got winning energy when Captain Sarfraz Ahmed and
Muhammad Nawaz came out to bat with three wickets down and 37 runs on the
board. Both coupled for a partnership of 74 runs but after Sarfraz’s departure,
wickets kept falling and the Gladiators never recovered.
Earlier, Lahore came out all guns firing against Quetta on Monday as they
scored the highest PSL total of 195 runs courtesy a 40-ball 93 by Umar Akmal.
Lahore, after being sent in to bat first, didn’t lose any wicket for the
first nine overs. Azhar Ali was the first batsman to be dismissed which brought
Umar in. He found the sweet part of the bat from the start and hit eight
maximums and six boundaries.
Anwar
Ali, Zulfiqar Babar and Umar Gul bagged one wicket each for Quetta.
