Led by Khawaja Nafey\u2019s brilliant half-century and Akeal Hosein\u2019s disciplined bowling, Quetta Gladiators clinched their second consecutive win in PSL 2024 by defeating Lahore Qalandars by five wickets at the Gadaffi Stadium.<\/p>\n
Chasing a challenging target of 188 runs, Gladiators got off to a steady start, capitalizing on loose deliveries from Lahore\u2019s bowlers. Despite early breakthroughs from Zaman Khan and Sikandar Raza, the visitors maintained their momentum, with key contributions from Saud Shakeel and Jason Roy. Shakeel\u2019s aggressive approach and Roy\u2019s stability laid the foundation for Gladiators\u2019 successful run-chase.<\/p>\n
While Qalandars\u2019 bowlers attempted to create pressure, Gladiators\u2019 batsmen remained composed, with Rafay steering the team to victory with an unbeaten half-century.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, Lahore Qalandars struggled to accelerate their innings after opting to bat first. Akeal Hosein\u2019s exceptional bowling restricted Qalandars\u2019 batsmen, with Fakhar Zaman failing to capitalize on early chances. Despite Sahibzada Farhan\u2019s valiant effort, supported by Jahandad Khan\u2019s late blitz, Qalandars posted a total of 187 runs.<\/p>\n
Hosein\u2019s tight spell, coupled with effective bowling from Abrar Ahmad and Mohammad Wasim Jr., kept Qalandars\u2019 scoring rate in check. However, Jahandad Khan\u2019s explosive cameo propelled Qalandars to a competitive total, albeit falling short of securing victory.<\/p>\n
With this victory, Quetta Gladiators maintain their winning streak in PSL 2024, showcasing their formidable batting and bowling prowess in the tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
