Pitch Report:
The stadium at Gaddafi Stadium has been a batting paradise and we expected some cracking batting from both teams. The average score at this surface is 172.

Incredible batting from Sikandar Raza (71 off 34) and Rashid Khan (21 off 20) helped the side to clinch their fourth consecutive game in the league. In the second innings, Haris Rauf's three-wicket haul and two crucial breakthroughs by Rashid Khan ensured Qalandars defended a low score like 148. Meanwhile, the Sultans' winning streak was halted by Karachi Kings as the latter outplayed their opponents in every department. After leaking 167 in 1st innings, Sultans batters failed miserably as they were bundled out at 101/10. Sultans will have a daunting task ahead of them as they gear up to take on Lahore Qalandars.
