5:57 PM IST So, that is all from this game. The action continues in the PSL and match number 22 sees Peshawar Zalmi take on Islamabad United on the 2nd of this month at 3 pm GMT. Goodbye and Cheers for now.

5:25 PM IST Well, the inevitable has happened. THE MATCH HAS BEEN CALLED OFF. The dust storm disappeared after a while but rain started to pour and it was relentless for the umpires to make the final decision. So, close to 10 overs we had for the action and eventually the points will be shared.

4:23 PM IST UPDATE- The players rush off the field as Lahore is witnessing a sand storm at the moment.

2:33 PM IST TOSS - Quetta Gladiators have won the toss and will BOWL.

2:06 PM IST Quetta Gladiators are sitting behind Lahore Qalandars, third on the table. They had a decent season so far, winning four out of the six games. They are actually on a hot winning streak, victorious in their last three games. Saud Shakeel is proving the doubters wrong with his brilliant captaincy but can he do it under pressure? The stakes are high as we are in the business period and every game is an important one. Stay tuned for the toss.

2:03 PM IST It's time for the second match of the day and it's Lahore Qalandars taking on Quetta Gladiators. It's the two teams sitting in the top half of the table. Lahore Qalandars are coming after a famous win against the table topper, the United who suffered their first defeat at the hands of Lahore Qalandars. The home team will be high on confidence and will look to put on a similar performance in front of their home fans.

1:59 PM IST ...MATCH DAY...

10:48 AM IST The Pakistan Super League 2025 has now entered its final stretch with two-thirds of the matches already done, and with the playoffs inching closer, every game has started to feel like a do-or-die battle. The competition is heating up as teams scramble for those top-four spots. The iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will host the 21st match of the season between Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators, two sides that are coming off impressive wins and will be eager to keep the momentum going. With plenty of star players on both teams, fans can expect a fierce contest under the lights. The last time these two teams faced off earlier in this season, Lahore Qalandars dominated the game from start to finish. They posted a huge total, thanks to half-centuries from Fakhar Zaman and Sam Billings, and then crushed Quetta with the ball, bowling them out for just 140 runs. Rishad Hossain grabbed three wickets, while Shaheen Afridi, Asif Afridi, and Sikandar Raza all picked up two wickets each. It was a complete performance and a 79-run win for Lahore. On the other hand, Quetta’s batting fell apart in that game, with only Rilee Rossouw showing some resistance as the rest of the lineup collapsed in their attempt to go big too soon. Since then, both teams have made progress. Lahore Qalandars finally broke their losing streak with a solid win against Multan Sultans in their last match. Their batting unit is starting to fire at the right time with Fakhar Zaman, Daryl Mitchell, Sikandar Raza, and Sam Billings all finding form. That’s a huge boost heading into the business end of the tournament. However, their bowling still needs some fine-tuning. While Shaheen Afridi has been among the wickets, his economy rate and inconsistency in line and length have been a concern. As the leader of the attack, he will need to step up. The support cast of Haris Rauf, Asif Afridi, and Tom Curran will look to maintain pressure and support him well. Lahore will be eyeing a season sweep over Quetta with another strong performance tonight. Meanwhile, Quetta Gladiators are flying high with three back-to-back wins, showing great character after a rough patch of two losses. Their bowling unit has been outstanding, consistently stepping up and even defending low totals. In their last match, they bowled out Multan Sultans for just 89 runs, showcasing ruthless discipline and skill. Bowlers like Mohammad Amir, Khurram Shahzad, Abrar Ahmed, and Mohammad Wasim have all delivered match-winning spells at different times. However, the batting remains their biggest concern. While the bowlers have often bailed them out, this strategy may not work every time. If Quetta wants to stay consistent and pose a real challenge in the playoffs, the batters must step up and contribute more reliably. The pitch in Lahore has been bowler-friendly, especially for those who hit the right areas. Batters will need to apply themselves and be patient to score runs here. Given how both teams have bowlers in good form, this game could be shaped by which batting side handles the pressure better. It’s set to be an exciting and critical match for both teams. Will Lahore complete the double over Quetta, or will the Gladiators continue their winning streak? Let’s find out!
