Preview:

The Pakistan Super League delivers everything it promised, hard-hitting batting, last-over thrillers and exceptional performances from players. The 15th Match in the PKL will bring yet another close thriller. In-form Lahore Qalanders will face Quetta Gladiators, who are struggling to regain their winning momentum in the tournament.

Pitch Report:

The Karachi National Stadium is widely regarded as a batting-friendly pitch, and so far in the tournament, we have witnessed the same. Although the dew factor will come into play by evening, batters still seem to have the edge over bowlers. But, the likes of Rashid Khan, Shaheen Afridi and Zaman Khan can't be underestimated.

Team Analysis:

Lahore Qalandars: Players are in great form and must be confident after clinching last game against Islamabad United. Openers Fakhar Zaman (38 off 27) and Abdullah Shafique (44 off 24) provided a good foundation which was well complemented by the middle order batters like Harry Brook (37 off 26) and a cameo from Rashid Khan (15 off 8). Later, bowlers helped the team to bundle out Islamabad United 8-runs before the target. Haris Rauf (2-wickets), one wicket each by Shaheen Afridi and Rashid Khan helped the team clinch the Match.

Quetta Gladiators: Sarfaraz Ahmed is having a tough time as a skipper. Islamabad United handed the team yet another comprehensive defeat by 43-runs. Bowlers conceded too many runs in the game; Mohammad Nawaz bowled with the best economy of 8.00, while veteran spinner Shahid Afridi was too costly. He bowled with an economy of 16.80 and could only clinch one wicket in the game. The team needs to work on a lot of things if they need to do well in the tournament, and bowling is one of the major concerns for the team.

Probable playing XI:

Lahore Qalandars: Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Hafeez, Philip Salt (wk), Harry Brook, David Wiese, Rashid Khan, Shaheen Afridi (c), Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan

Quetta Gladiators: James Vince, Ahsan Ali, Ben Duckett, Sarfaraz Ahmed (c & wk), Iftikhar Ahmed, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Nawaz, Sohail Tanvir, James Faulkner, Naseem Shah, Abdul Bangalzai

Match prediction:

Conclusion:

Lahore Qalandars are having a good time in the tournament under the captaincy of Shaheen Afridi. Considering their in-form side, they will have the upper hand against Quetta Gladiators in the next Match. Lahore Qalandars are likely to win the Match.
