Lahore Qalandars Vs Quetta Gladiators Live Score, PSL 2026: LAH Win Toss, Opt To Bat First

And we’re underway in Karachi, the energy already crackling around the ground.

Fakhar Zaman stands tall at the crease, Mohammad Naeem alongside him, both ready to set the tone early. Saqib Khan has the new ball, beginning the proceedings with purpose.

First ball coming up, Fakhar on strike, field set, and here we go.

Lahore Qalandars (Playing XI): Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Naeem, Abdullah Shafique, Charith Asalanka, Sikandar Raza, Haseebullah Khan(w), Mohammad Farooq, Daniel Sams, Shaheen Afridi(c), Usama Mir, Haris Rauf

Quetta Gladiators (Playing XI): Shamyl Hussain, Saud Shakeel(c), Rilee Rossouw, Hasan Nawaz, Dinesh Chandimal(w), Bevon Jacobs, Jahandad Khan, Saqib Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Tariq

Saud Shakeel: It was a bit of a technical challenge. We were thinking about how the match was progressing and at what stage Shamyl would come back in. Yes, absolutely, that is the case. When we end up being 10-15 runs short, the opposition plays the spinners very safely. I can see that all teams are playing in a very safe and easy manner against spin, which is why their impact is not spreading much. Yes, there are three changes today as well. Tom Curran was a little unwell, but he is still with the squad today and has also arrived in Karachi. Overall the bench strength looks good.

Shaheen Afridi: Once again, there have been a lot of changes because there were some injuries and some players left for international matches. Because of that, the combination got disturbed a little. But we are coming back after five days, and hopefully we will perform well. No, I think it is absolutely fine. The kind of thinking we need is there, but batting has been a bit of a problem so far. (Whats the score you are looking at on this surface?) 170 to 180 is the bottom line.

Lahore Qalandars have won the toss and have opted to bat.
