Coming off defeats in their opening games, Quetta Gladiators and Hyderabad Kingsmen will be looking for their first victory when they clash at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. It will be a day game in the scorching heat of Lahore. Spin bowlers from both sides would hold the key as they attempt to get their side’s campaign off to a start.

Quetta Gladiators Preview

Quetta Gladiators were defeated by Karachi Kings in their opening game of the season. Led by Saud Shakeel, the Gladiators lost by 14 runs on the 27th March. They boast a strong bowling attack featuring spinners like Abrar Ahmed and Usman Tariq. Alzarri Joseph and Tom Curran are the leaders of the pace attack. However, their batting order is not the strongest. Apart from a fifty from Shamyl Hussain, the batters failed in their first game of the season.

Hyderabad Kingsmen Preview

Hyderabad Kingsmen, like their opponents, started their campaign with a loss. They are currently placed at the bottom of the points table as a result of their 69-run loss against the Lahore Qalandars. 

Led by Marnus Labuschagne, the Kingsmen were right in the middle of one of the rarest incidents in their opening match. During their hefty loss against the defending champions, Lahore Qalandars, Labuschagne’s side noticed that rubbing the white ball against their kits turned the ball pink.

It was a complete batting failure for the Kingsmen in their opening game. The skipper top-scored with a 26-run knock in 22 balls. Openers Saim Ayub and Usman Khan failed and scored 26 runs off 19 balls collectively. Their poor results at the top of the order resulted in a sound defeat for their side.
