LQ vs QG Team Preview & Squads
Lahore Qalandars
As they prepare for their second match, the Lahore Qalandars will be under pressure. After a disappointing campaign last season, they were hoping to start on a stronger note. However, familiar issues resurfaced as they suffered an 8-wicket loss to Islamabad United. Skipper Shaheen Afridi will be keen for a more spirited performance from his squad to avoid a repeat of last season’s struggles.
Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Naeem couldn’t get going in the previous match, and a solid start from them will be vital for the team’s chances. Abdullah Shafique showed promise and will need to anchor the innings in the middle overs alongside Daryl Mitchell and Sam Billings. With power hitters like Sikandar Raza, David Wiese, and Jahandad Khan in the lower order, the team will rely on them to accelerate the scoring.
Shaheen Afridi must set the tone with early breakthroughs, supported by Asif Afridi. The bowling unit faltered in the middle overs in their last outing, so improved performances from Haris Rauf and Jahandad Khan will be essential. Sikandar Raza and David Wiese will also play key roles as support bowlers, especially with the Quetta Gladiators’ batting lineup currently in strong form.

Quetta Gladiators
Quetta Gladiators have kicked off their season with confidence, registering a dominant 80-run win over Peshawar Zalmi. It was a well-rounded performance, with the batters posting a strong total and the bowlers executing the defense flawlessly. With their next opponents low on confidence, captain Saud Shakeel will aim to capitalize on the momentum and solidify their position on the points table.
Finn Allen and Saud Shakeel laid a solid foundation with an 88-run partnership in the previous match, and the team will hope for a similar start from the duo. The middle order impressed as well, with Hasan Nawaz, Rilee Rossouw, and Kusal Mendis expected to build key partnerships. The presence of Shoaib Malik, Faheem Ashraf, and Kyle Jamieson adds explosive potential down the order, giving the lineup depth and power.
Mohammad Amir was outstanding with the ball in the last game, and the team will count on him and Kyle Jamieson for early wickets. Abrar Ahmed remains a vital part of the bowling attack and will be tasked with maintaining pressure through the middle overs alongside Usman Tariq. Malik and Ashraf provide valuable support and will look to keep Lahore Qalandars on the back foot.
