Beginning with the drabness in initial overs and falling short of wickets, might don’t have seemed to fans that the least successful franchise of PSL, Lahore Qalandars would have gone so far few overs straight after the powerplay.
Lahore Qalandars have declared a very might chase over the current title defenders, Quetta Gladiators which might result in destruction of Gladiators in the second innings in case if Qalandars will not lose the momentum with the ball.
The spinning pitch has helped Qalandars dragged out of drabness as they have gone for the PSL 2020 highest target yet. However, the out of form Fakhar Zaman was trapped earlier along with Hafeez on a duck and Lynn on 27. For a moment, it seemed like further wickets would too be departure and Qalandars, as usual, would opt to stay behind limits.
Using every adjective and synonym of destruction, this is what Ben Dunk and Samit Patel have done to Gladiators bowling line-up. Back to back sixes exploded the seamers and M.Nawaz, the finest spinner and the highest wicket-taker in PSL among spinners. Couple of, or else frequent boundary crossing has geared Qalandars up to the extent, all credit to Ben and Patel.
Lahore Qalandars since last four PSL seasons have always stuck to the losing position. In PSL 2020, they have not managed to win even a single out of 3 played yet. In the going on the match against Gladiators, the pitch is working in the favor of the bat as Qalandars have astonished amazingly the fans and the rests.
The chase seems to be in favor of Qalandars as well in case if they will not go for a blunder in the end like they did against Islamabad allowing the last opponent’s batsman to go for a sensible knock.
