Match 15 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will witness the Quetta Gladiators locking horns against Lahore Qalandars at the National Stadium in Karachi.
This is the last game of the Karachi leg for this season with the action shifting to Lahore from February 10. The two teams have endured contrasting form so far this season.
The Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side are languishing in fifth position in the points table having lost three out of four matches so far.
The Gladiators defeated the Karachi Kings in their third game of the season but couldn’t carry on the momentum, losing the next game to Islamabad United. Their bowling needs to improve after conceding 229 runs in the previous encounter.
Even the batters will have to step up while some of the captaincy decisions from Sarfaraz Ahmed have also been questionable at times. They will have to put up an improved showing to have any chance of taking down the Lahore Qalandars who have been brilliant so far.
Shaheen Afridi has impressed so far with his leadership skills for the Qalandars. After starting their campaign with a loss to the Multan Sultans, they have won three consecutive matches and will be looking to register their fourth win in a row tomorrow.
The Qalandars defended a comparatively modest total of 174 runs against Islamabad United in their previous encounter. They seem to have taken a liking to defending totals and Afridi’s men will have their eyes on the knockouts already.
