Pre-Match Analysis:

The batters once again exploded as a result Lahore Qalandars thrashed Islamabad United by a whopping 110 runs to register their 4th win in this PSL and moved to the top of the standings. Home turf is proving lucky for them as they scored 200 and more for the 2nd consecutive time. The bowlers outfoxed the opposition batters with their spirited show with David Wiese and Rashid Khan picking up the important wickets. The top-order batters are extending their dream run which is the biggest reason for their success in this PSL. Everything is going their way and they are inching towards Playoffs.

Quetta Gladiators are in all sorts of trouble having claimed only one win so far in this tournament. They need a massive turnaround in the 2nd half of the tournament to make a cut into the Playoffs. The batting hasn’t clicked at all as they failing to make an impression. They lost to Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United by 63 runs each which tell us the story. Even the bowlers need to sharpen their skills to pick wickets. The experienced trio of Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed, and Iftikhar Ahmed need to do something special in the coming matches. Dwaine Pretorius is likely to replace Jason Roy in the line-up who is away with National commitments.
