The match is going to be played at the National Stadium, Karachi on the 7th of February 2022. QUETTA GLADIATORS VS LAHORE QALANDARS TEAM PREVIEWS QUETTA GLADIATORS The Quetta Gladiators have struggled for performances in PSL 2022 and the team seems to be struggling to find the right balance. Neither its batting nor its bowling has been up to the standards required. Ahsan Ali is the one batsman that has made a name for himself and seems to be another excellent prospect for Pakistan. He is the fourth-highest run-scorer in PSL 2022 at the moment with 204 runs at an average of 68 with three fifty-plus scores in four matches. He could be someone whom you can bet on to score some runs in this match as well. Apart from him, though, the rest of the batting is a bit weak. Sarfaraz Ahmad, Ben Duckett, Shahid Afridi, and Iftikhar Ahmed are all in poor form. Maybe Quetta can think of getting Will Smeed back for this match and strengthening its batting a bit because it is astonishing he is not able to make the playing eleven after scoring 97 in his first match of the tournament. James Vince is another excellent prospect and he played the previous match as well. His overall form has been so good in T20 cricket lately that betting on him to score runs is not a bad idea either. The bowling attack of the Quetta Gladiators is a bit weak as well. Sohail Tanvir, James Faulkner, and Shahid Afridi are no longer the bowlers that they were at their peak. Mohammad Nawaz and Naseem Shah have picked up six wickets each in PSL 2022. You can look to bet on either of them in the ‘Top Bowler Quetta Gladiators” betting market. The Quetta Gladiators have a decent team and we think they could be quite dangerous if they just swap some players and get their batting positions correct. Don’t count them out. LAHORE QALANDARS The Lahore Qalandars have enjoyed a lot of success in PSL 2022. After losing their first match of the season, they have now gone on to win their next three matches. We know their bowling was strong coming into the tournament but their batting has also done quite well. Of course, by batting, we mean Fakhar Zaman! The left-hander has been phenomenally consistent and is the highest scorer in PSL 2022 so far. He has 286 runs in four innings with one century and two fifties. He also hit 10 sixes and 33 boundaries. Fakhar Zaman is carrying the batting on his shoulders and we think the real challenge for the Qalandars will come when he fails.Phil Salt, Harry Brook, and David Wiese give the Lahore Qalandars a strong middle-order with a decent amount of depth. The bowling is where the Lahore Qalandars are the most dangerous. They seemed dead and buried in the previous match but Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf put on a death-bowling clinic to help them win against Islamabad United. Rashid Khan has also been exceptional and that means you have three of the best bowlers in the world in the T20 format playing together for one team. The Lahore Qalandars are always going to be dangerous for this reason.
