Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators: Shamyl Hussain 31*, Rossouw Quickfire Keep Chase Alive

Chasing a daunting target, Quetta Gladiators reached 55/1 in 6 overs, maintaining a healthy run rate in line with the required chase, as fans followed the LQ vs QG live score closely.

Shamyl Hussain has looked confident at the crease, remaining unbeaten on 31 off 17 balls, striking boundaries with ease and keeping the scoreboard moving. His aggressive intent ensured Gladiators didn’t fall behind early in the chase.

Captain Saud Shakeel played a composed knock of 17 off 17 balls before falling to Sikandar Raza just before the end of the powerplay. His wicket at 49/1 gave Lahore Qalandars a slight breakthrough after a steady opening stand.

Rilee Rossouw added immediate momentum with a quick 6 off 2 balls, including a six, signaling attacking intent from the Gladiators’ middle order.

Lahore Qalandars’ bowlers had a mixed start, with Shaheen Afridi and Ubaid Shah conceding runs, while Sikandar Raza provided the only breakthrough so far.

Match Situation & Prediction

With 143 runs needed off 84 balls, the match is finely poised. Quetta Gladiators have wickets in hand and a strong batting lineup still to come.

However, Lahore Qalandars remain slightly ahead due to scoreboard pressure and their bowling depth.

Prediction: Lahore Qalandars still hold the edge, but Quetta Gladiators are very much in the game if Shamyl Hussain or Rossouw continue their attacking approach.
