KARACHI: Shai Hope smashed 47 from 32 balls before David Wiese took three wickets to put Lahore Qalandars in command as they beat Quetta Gladiators by 63 runs in the 10th match of the Pakistan Super League season 8. 

Defending champions Qalandars put up a combined batting effort to reach a respectable 198/6 in the 20 overs after they were put into bat.

In reply, apart from Jason Roy, Gladiators’ batting lineup failed completely in the chase as they finished the 20 overs with only 135 on board for the loss of eight wickets.

Qalandars’ skipper Shaheen gave an early breakthrough to his side in the very first over when he plumbed opener Abdul Wahid Bangulzai on a golden duck.

Martin Guptill and Roy then led the way and took the scoreboard to 52/1 before David Wiese came into the attack and dismissed the New Zealander on 15 after the powerplay.

Roy lit up the sky with five maximums and a four during his scintillating knock of 30-ball 48 before Rashid Khan got rid of him in the 10th over.

Following Roy’s dismissal Quetta lost control of the chase as they start to lose wickets at regular intervals despite a short-lived intent shown by Mohammad Hafeez (25 off 22) when he took Haris Rauf to the cleaners smashing two back-to-back sixes in the 11th over.

Wiese bagged two more wickets in the middle, dismissing Hafeez and Iftikhar Ahmed to almost end the game for Gladiators, whereas, Shaheen also took two more scalps to finish with brilliant figures of 3/15 in his four overs.

Earlier, Hope led the batting charge for Qalandars with a powerful knock in the middle, laced with five fours and a maximum, after openers Fakhar Zaman and Tahir Baig were sent back to the hut inside the powerplay.

West Indies’ new ODI captain sailed Qalandars to 146/3 before Odean Smith (2-41) got rid of him with Iftikhar grabbing the catch at deep mid-wicket.

Left-hander Hussain Talat also played a brief cameo alongside Hope, scoring 26 from 13 balls.

Zimbabwe’s Raza, however, fired in with two sixes and a four and went not out on 32 from 16 balls to steer Qalandars to a massive 193/5.

Quetta bowlers leaked too many runs, especially pace spearhead Naseem Shah, who went wicketless against 47 runs in his four overs.

Odeam Smith and spinner Qais Ahmed claimed two wickets apiece while Mohammad Nawaz and Mohammad Hasnain took a scalp each.

 

KARACHI: Quetta Gladiators won the toss and elected to field first against Lahore Qalandars in the 10th match of the Pakistan Super League season 8 on Tuesday.

KARACHI: All-rounders James Neesham and Rovman Powell played sensible knocks in the run chase to steer Peshawar Zalmi to a convincing four-wicket victory over Quetta Gladiators in the ninth match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season eight.

Set to chase 155, Zalmi amassed the target in the 19th over with four wickets to spare at the back of a crucial partnership between Neesham and Powell.

Earlier, the Zalmi got off to a poor start to the pursuit as the side lost three wickets for 47 runs in the fifth over with in-form batters Mohammad Haris, Saim Ayub and Tom Kohler-Cadmore perishing cheaply.

Zalmi then endured a huge blow to their pursuit as they lost their skipper Babar Azam in the eighth over and consequently slipped to 67/4. Babar could score 19 off 18 deliveries.

Following the setback, Neesham and Powell anchored the run chase with a gritty 46-run partnership before Naseem Shah castled the latter to glimmer a ray of hope for the Gladiators.

Powell scored a brisk 23-ball 36 and smashed three boundaries and two sixes.

Following Powell’s departure, Neesham joined hands with Dasun Shanaka and steered his side closer to victory before falling victim to Qais Ahmed in the 15th over. He top-scored for the Zalmi with 38 off 23 deliveries with the help of four boundaries and three sixes.

Neesham’s dismissal triggered a late twist in the run chase but Shanaka and Wahab Riaz held their nerves calm to steer the side to their second triumph of the season.

Shanaka scored an unbeaten 16 while Wahab scored 10 not out in 12 deliveries.

Mohammad Hasnain led the bowling attack for the Gladiators with 3/13 in his four overs while Naseem, Nawaz and Qais made one scalp each.

Put into bat first, the Gladiators raised 154/4 despite a dismal start at the back of a magnificent half-century by Iftikhar.

Gladiators openers Jason Roy and Martin Guptill started cautiously against a disciplined bowling attack of Zalmi as they could score 28 runs in the powerplay before the latter lost his wicket in a desperate attempt to go big. Guptill could score 12 off 16.

Following his dismissal, leg-spinner Usman Qadir struck twice in his consecutive overs; removing Roy (14) and Mohammad Nawaz (2) as the Gladiators slipped to 37/3 in the ninth over.

Following the slump, skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed and Iftikhar anchored the innings with a gritty 74-run partnership for the fourth wicket and broke the shackles.

Meanwhile, Arshad Iqbal castled Sarfaraz in the 17th over to dent the Gladiators’ march to a big total. The skipper could score 39 off 30 deliveries and hit five boundaries.

Iftikhar, however, held his ground firm and kept charging on the Zalmi bowlers in the death overs and received significant support from all-rounder Odean Smith, who struck a blistering 12-ball 25.

Iftikhar top-scored for the Gladiators with 50 off 34 deliveries, laced with two boundaries and four sixes.

Qadir led the bowling attack for Zalmi with 2/26 while Arshad and James Neesham could make one scalp.
