Quetta Gladiators showcase a stunning batting performance as the openers dominates the first innings for the team.<\/p>\n
Ahsan Ali and Will Smeed batted for 15 overs and dominated the first innings hitting all the bowlers without losing a single wicket. Quetta Gladiators were 155-0 when the first wicket fell in the 15th over.<\/p>\n
Ahsan scored 73 runs off 46 balls with a strike rate of 158.7 while Smeed got out in the last ball of the innings trying to complete his century with a six but got caught out at the boundary line. The opening pair performed stunningly and opened a match-winning start for Quetta.<\/p>\n
Smeed debuted his PSL career with a powerful knock of 97 runs and felt short of just three to hit a century in his very first game in PSL. Quetta Gladiators will be glad for the wonderful opening batsman. They can keep more expectations from the opening pair.<\/p>\n
Ahsan and Smeed give Gladiators the record of highest partnership for the team in PSL history as the 150+ partnership stand of the openers start the season well for the team. Quetta Gladiators might be disappointed not reaching the 200-run mark despite the 150+ partnership by the openers.<\/p>\n
Usman Qadir and Sameen Gul managed to take two wickets each for team Peshawar Zalmi but a poor bowling performance by the team could not stop Quetta Gladiators from scoring a great score on the board. Peshawar Zalmi needs 191 runs in the second innings to take back the game which is currently in favor of Quetta Gladiators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
