Quetta Gladiators vs Rawalpindiz live: Early wickets put Rawalpindiz chase in trouble

Rawalpindiz have been rocked early in their pursuit of 183, reaching just 82/5 after 12 overs in the PSL 11 2026 clash against Quetta Gladiators. The chase never settled as wickets fell at regular intervals, leaving the batting side struggling to build partnerships.

The innings began in dramatic fashion when skipper Mohammad Rizwan fell for a golden duck, dismissed by Jahandad Khan in the very first delivery, instantly putting Rawalpindiz on the back foot. The pressure increased further when Usman Khawaja was run out early, leaving the top order exposed.

Despite a brief counterattack from Yasir Khan, who scored 22 off 14 balls with three boundaries and a six, the momentum quickly shifted back in Quetta’s favour. Abrar Ahmed struck at a crucial moment to remove Yasir Khan, breaking any developing rhythm in the chase.

Middle-order resistance came from Abdullah Fazal, who made a fighting 20 off 19 balls, but he too fell at a key stage to Usman Tariq. The situation worsened when Sam Billings was dismissed cheaply by Kashif Bhatti, leaving Rawalpindiz struggling at 82/5.

At the halfway stage, only Daryl Mitchell remains the key hope, unbeaten on 30 off 30 balls, but he has lacked support from the other end. Quetta’s bowlers have maintained tight lines throughout, with Jahandad Khan’s early strike setting the tone and Abrar Ahmed and Usman Tariq applying constant pressure.
