Team Analysis:
Lahore Qalandars: The team is performing exceptionally well in the tournament. Their bowlers helped the team to win their last match against Islamabad United. The team comfortably defended 174 due to exceptional bowling from Rashid Khan, Shaheen Afridi, and specifically Zaman Khan. The team's batting is vital as well; Fakhar Zaman (38 off 27), Abdullah Shafique (44 off 24), Harry Brook (37 off 26) and the presence of Mohammad Hafeez is providing an edge to the team.
Quetta Gladiators: The side is struggling to get back their winning momentum in the tournament. Their bowlers conceded too many runs in the last match against Islamabad United, and even batters failed to rise above the occasion, and the team fell short of 43-runs. Ahsan Ali (50 off 27), Mohammad Nawaz (47 off 22) and James Faulkner (30 off 14) were a few of the standout performers for the team.
