The move to bring Sikandar Raza into the attack has worked wonders for Qalandars. The Zimbabwean skipper bowling the final over of the power play dismissed Saud Shakeel to pick up the first wicket for LQ.

The search for the first wicket continues for Lahore Qalandars as Daniel Sams fails to pick up a wicket in his first over. The Aussie paacer bowled a solid over, giving only six runs in the fifth over, but it is wickets that is the need of the hour for the Qalandars.

The Quetta Gladiators are bossing the power play as they continue to dominate the defending champions. 13 runs came off the fourth over with Shamyl Hussain, hitting a six and a four in the over against Ubaid Shah.

Saud Shakeel saves himself with a timely review on the final ball of the third over. The Quetta Gladiators struck three fours in the over before Shaheen Afridi almost trapped him in front of the stumps. However, a review saved Shakeel as Qalandars continue their search for first wicket. 

There is no stopping Shamyl Hussain as he struck a four and a six in the second over. The batter hit a boundary on the first ball of the over before hitting a six on the fourth ball. 

The chase is underway as Shaheen Afridi took the new ball for the Qalandars. The left-arm pacer was welcomed with a four off the first ball from Shamyl Hussain. Seven runs came off the first over with Saud Shakeel playing three dots.

Khalil Ahmed, bowling the final over for Gladiators, went for 12 runs. He was hit for a couple of fours by Daniel Sams, which were split by a run-out on the fifth ball of the over. The Qalandars finish with 197 runs on the board after the first innings. 

Alzarri Joseph, after a solid start to his spell, giving three runs off the first two overs, finished out in the 19th over. The right-arm pacer went for nine runs in his fourth over ending his day with 23 runs in four overs. Despite, a strong bowling performance, Joseph remained wicketless. 

The Gladiators, after a splendid knock from Fakhar Zaman, have bounced back strongly with two wickets in two overs. After Usman Tariq picked up a wicket in the previous over, Khalil Ahmed struck to dismiss Sikandar Raza as Lahore Qalandars lost half their side. 

It is Usman Tariq who has taken the crucial breakthrough for the Quetta Gladiators. The right-arm spinner dismissed Fakhar Zaman on the first ball of the 17th over. The Gladiators, in an attempt to take two wickets in two balls, burned a review against Daniel Sams. Tariq bowled a delivery down the leg side resulting in five runs off wides. 

The third-wicket stand between Fakhar Zaman abd Charith Asalanka has been broken. Bret Hampton returned to the attack and dismissed the Sri Lankan batter to claim a crucial wicket for his team. 

Alzarri Joseph returned to possibly break this stand or, at the very least, stem the flow of runs. However, the right-arm pacer failed to do so as he was hit for a six and a four by Fakhar Zaman, who moved into the 90s.

It is Fakhar Zaman, who is not taking his foot off the accelerator. The left-handed batter struck a four in the 12th over against Abrar Ahmed before hitting Usman Tariq for a six in the following over. Zaman has moved closer to a century as the Qalandars bat with a run-rate of almost 10 runs per over. 

Usman Tariq, after giving nine runs in his first over, bounced back with a solid response. The right-arm spinner gave only five runs in his following over to bring back some control for Saud Shakeel’s team. 

Hasan Nawaz continued to be expensive as 17 runs came off his second over. It all started with Fakhar Zaman hitting a six off the first ball of the 10th over before Charith Asalanka hit a couple of fours on the trot resulting in a big over. 

Fakhar Zaman has completed his 26th fifty in the Pakistan Super League. The left-handed batter reached the milestone with a four off the third ball of the ninth over. Usman Tariq, meanwhile, gave nine runs off his first over as Zaman continue to bat with high intensity.

Hasan Nawaz came into the attack to bowl the eighth over of the innings. The right-arm off-spinner was taken for 10 runs in his first over with Fakhar Zaman hitting a four to move closer to a half-century. 

It is once again Abrar Ahmed, who has taken this important wicket for the Gladiators. The right-arm spinner struck on the fourth ball of his second over to dismiss Abdullah Shafique. However, the good news for Lahore Qalandars would be that Fakhar Zaman is still on the crease. If the Lahore-based side has to go on to win this clash, it is imperious for them that Zaman stays on the crease for as long as possible. 

The Qalandars have ended the power play in a dominating fashion, thanks to Fakhar Zaman. The left-handed explosive batter struck a couple of sixes and a couple of fours on the trot to finish the sixth over. Bret Hampton, bowling his first over of the clash, was on the receiving end of the bashing from Zaman. 22 runs came off the sixth over as Qalandars finished the power play with 58 runs for the loss of one wicket. 

After watching the onslaught from Fakhar Zaman in the previous over, Abdullah Shafique decided to have some fun of his own. The right-hander welcomed Abrar Ahmed in his first over with a couple of fours. 10 runs came off the fifth over, as the Qalandars finally took the charge against QG.

Finally, the Lahore Qalandars gave something to their fans to cheer about as Fakhar Zaman went after Khalil Ahmed in the fourth over. The left-handed batter struck three fours in the over putting some pressure back on the Gladiators after the first three overs went for only 12 runs.

Alzarri Joseph has continued to be right on the money for the Gladiators. The right-arm pacer once again bowled a tight over, giving nothing away to the batters for Lahore Qalandars. Only four runs came off the third over, one of which resulted in a leg bye. 

The solid over from Alzarri Joseph has resulted in a wicket for Quetta Gladiators. Khalil Ahmed got the crucial breakthrough in the second over, dismissing Mohammad Farooq. The Saud Shakeel-led side burned a review on the first ball of the second over before they took another review on the third ball resulting in a wicket. 

It was a maiden over to start from Alzarri Joseph. The tall West Indies pacer bowled a solid first over where the only run came off a leg bye.
