Gladiators to lock horns with Qalandars in search of second PSL 7 triumph

In the last match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 7 Karachi-leg, Quetta Gladiators will be taking on Lahore Qalandars in pursuit of the second victory of the ongoing mega event.

So far in the marquee event, the PSL 2019 champions have been off-colour, having played four matches and only winning once. The Gladiators began their season with a loss to Peshawar Zalmi but quickly rebounded by defeating Karachi Kings. However, their comeback was short-lived, as the team lost their next two matches, including a thriller against Multan Sultans.

Sarfaraz XI are in dire need of the second victory of the PSL 7 before the league transfers to Lahore from today.

The Gladiators, who are currently struggling to get going will now have the services of the English explosive opener – Jason Roy, who is available for selection for tonight’s clash after the completion of his quarantine period, while Shahid Afridi has also participated in the squad’s last practice session after demanding rest from the management.
