On March 2, the Pakistan Super League’s 18th game will take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and pit the defending champion Lahore Qalandars against the last-place Quetta Gladiators. The Lahore-based team has a comfortable lead at the top of the standings after winning four of their first five matches.
The squad led by Shaheen Afridi enters the match having destroyed Islamabad United by 110 runs in their last game. The Quetta Gladiators, their rivals, have only managed to win one game during the campaign, and with each match that goes by, their prospects of moving on to the knockout phases of the competition get more remote.

Pitch Report:
Thus far in the tournament, Lahore’s surface has been a hitting haven, with hitters scoring significant runs there. The side that wins the toss will probably choose to bat first because doing so has historically been successful at this field.
Probable Playing XI:
Lahore Qalandars (LQ):
Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique, Sam Billings (WK), Hussain Talat, David Wiese, Rashid Khan, Shaheen Afridi (C), Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan, Mirza Tahir Baig, Sikandar Raza
Quetta Gladiators (QG):
Sarfaraz Ahmed (C & WK), Jason Roy, Martin Guptill, Mohammad Hafeez, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Odean Smith, Mohammad Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Aimal Khan, Will Smeed
Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter:
Fakhar Zaman:
With 235 runs to his name—the second-highest total in the league so far—the explosive Pakistani opener has regained his touch in the competition and has been one of the most reliable players. He gave his team another strong start at the top of the order with a quick 36 against Islamabad United after scoring a match-winning 96 against Peshawar Zalmi.
Probable best bowler:
Shaheen Afridi:
After failing to add to his total of wickets in his previous outing, the Lahore Qalandar captain will be dissatisfied. The left-arm pacer, though, continues to pose a constant threat because of his proficiency with the new ball and his capacity to consistently strike toe-crushing yorkers. With ten wickets under his belt in five innings, he is now tied for second place in the competition in terms of wicket-taking.
