Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings Live: Fakhar 61 and Abdullah 62 Lead Lahore to 199/6 - PSL 11 2026

Lahore Qalandars put on a strong batting display in their PSL 11 2026 clash against Karachi Kings, finishing at 199/6 in their 20 overs. Fakhar Zaman led the charge with a brilliant 61 off 41 balls, including 5 boundaries and 3 sixes, as he anchored the innings. His knock was instrumental in giving the team a solid start, despite losing Mohammad Farooq early to a run out.

Abdullah Shafique followed suit with an impressive 62 off 36 balls, striking at 172.22. His aggressive batting, with 5 fours and 3 sixes, helped accelerate the run rate, especially during the middle overs. Shafique’s innings was key to Lahore Qalandars reaching a competitive total.

Other contributions came from Sikandar Raza (18* off 12 balls) and Daniel Sams (20 off 9 balls), whose quick-fire knocks ensured that the momentum was maintained throughout. However, the Qalandars did lose wickets at crucial moments, including Charith Asalanka (0) and Shaheen Shah Afridi (10), both of whom fell to the bowlers of Karachi Kings.

With the ball, Hasan Ali and Moeen Ali played a significant role in keeping the pressure on Lahore’s batters, each taking a wicket while maintaining tight lines. Rizwanullah and Zahid Mahmood also contributed in the middle overs, but the Qalandars’ batting depth ultimately proved too strong.

With 200 runs on the board, Lahore Qalandars are in a strong position. Qalandars vs Kings live updates will reveal how Karachi Kings respond in their chase, and whether they can match the target set by Lahore.

Predictions:

Lahore Qalandars have set a challenging target of 200, thanks to strong innings from Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique. The pitch at National Stadium favors batting, making the chase achievable for Karachi Kings if their top order, including Sharjeel Khan and Glenn Maxwell, fires.

However, Lahore's potent bowling attack, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf, could dominate if they take early wickets. With a well-rounded performance, Lahore holds the edge, but an exciting chase is on the cards for Karachi Kings.
