Qalandars vs Gladiators Live: Rossouw & Hasan Nawaz Stabilize Chase After Afridi Strikes

Quetta Gladiators started the innings under pressure as Shamyl Hussain failed to survive long, getting dismissed for 0 off 3 balls after edging into the fielding setup, giving Lahore Qalandars an early lift.

Captain Saud Shakeel’s short stay ended in dramatic fashion as he was run out for just 1, following sharp coordination in the field by Abdullah Shafique and Charith Asalanka, leaving Quetta at 11/2 and under real pressure inside the powerplay.

Shaheen Shah Afridi led the Lahore bowling attack with intensity, striking early and extracting movement with the new ball, ensuring Quetta’s chase did not get the flying start they would have hoped for.

Despite early setbacks, Rilee Rossouw steadied the innings with an unbeaten 27 off 23 balls, showing control and composure while rotating strike effectively and punishing loose deliveries when offered.

At the other end, Hasan Nawaz played a positive supporting role, remaining unbeaten on 21 off 15 balls, accelerating the scoring rate with clean hitting, including three boundaries and a six to rebuild momentum for Quetta.

Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators live score now reflects Quetta at 55/2 after 7.2 overs, with the required rate still manageable but pressure building due to early wickets and disciplined bowling from Lahore in this PSL 11 2026 clash.

The powerplay phase saw Quetta reach 50 runs in 7.1 overs, but the loss of two early wickets ensured they could not fully dominate the fielding restrictions, keeping Lahore slightly ahead in the tactical battle.

Looking ahead, Quetta Gladiators' chase remains under control thanks to set batters at the crease, but Lahore Qalandars will look to strike again quickly to expose the middle order and regain control of the contest.

The match in LQ vs QG remains finely balanced, with Quetta holding a slight advantage due to the settled partnership, but the game is still open if Lahore can produce another breakthrough in the middle overs.
