LAHORE: The Lahore Qalandars dominated the powerplay during their match against the Quetta Gladiators at the Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday, as they punished the Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side.
The Gladiators managed to score 39 for the loss of four wickets in six overs, which is not a good score for a T20 match, as the pressure on the batters that follow will mount substantially.
Shaheen, after winning the toss, put Quetta to bat. And the decision has turned out to be a good one as Qalandars has put the opposition on the back foot right from the word go.
