Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators: Shamyl Hussain 53, Rossouw 35 Power Strong Chase

Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators: Shamyl Hussain 53, Rossouw 35 Power Strong Chase

Quetta Gladiators have reached 120/3 in 13 overs while chasing 198, maintaining a steady run rate as the LQ vs QG live score reflects a well-balanced contest.

Shamyl Hussain played a brilliant knock of 53 off 31 balls, smashing 5 fours and 3 sixes. He brought up his fifty in just 28 balls and looked in complete control before being run out at a crucial moment, shifting momentum slightly back towards Lahore.

Earlier, Saud Shakeel scored 17 off 17 balls but couldn’t convert his start, falling to Sikandar Raza. His wicket at 49/1 ended a steady opening stand.

Rilee Rossouw has kept the pressure on the bowlers with an aggressive 35 off 20 balls*, striking boundaries at key moments. Khawaja Nafay has supported him well with 11 off 9 balls*, ensuring the innings stays on track after a quick double setback.

Lahore Qalandars managed to pull things back briefly with quick wickets. Haris Rauf removed Hasan Nawaz for a duck, while Sikandar Raza was effective with control and a wicket in the middle overs.

Match Situation & Prediction

With 78 runs needed off 42 balls, the match is finely poised. Quetta Gladiators still have power hitters to come, and the required rate is manageable.

However, Lahore Qalandars hold a slight edge due to their experienced bowling attack and the pressure of a big chase.

Prediction: This is heading for a close finish, but Lahore Qalandars remain narrow favorites unless Rossouw takes the game deep.
