PSL 2026: Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators Prediction, Match Preview

Lahore Qalandars will welcome Quetta Gladiators to the National Stadium in Karachi on Friday in continuation of the Pakistan Super League. The two sides have each won twice this season and are tied on points. Who will win? Below are the team's stats and prediction.

Lahore Qalandars Preview

Lahore Qalandars suffered a 76-run loss to Peshawar Zalmi in their last game to extend their losing run to three in their last four games. In fact, they have managed just two wins in their five games this season. They are currently 7th on the table with four points in five games, including three losses. With the playoffs around the corner, the team will need to quickly bounce back to winning ways to see if they can salvage the season. This is the best time to test Shaheen Afridi's leadership quality.

Lahore Qalandars Predicted XI

Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Naeem, Abdullah Shafique, Haseebullah Khan (wk), Sikandar Raza, Asif Ali, Dunith Wellalage, Shaheen Afridi (c), Usama Mir, Ubaid Shah, Daniel Sams

Quetta Gladiators Preview

Quetta Gladiators suffered an eight-wicket loss to Peshawar Zalmi in their last game to bring their losing run to three in their last four games. They had begun their season with a 14-run loss to Karachi Kings, but they bounced back to winning ways with a massive 40-run win over Hyderabad Kingsmen in their second game. They have now managed two wins in their six games this season, which puts them sixth on the table with the same points as the hosts. So they must avoid a loss at all costs to save their position on the table.

Quetta Gladiators Predicted XI

Shamyl Hussain, Saud Shakeel (c), Rilee Rossouw, Hasan Nawaz, Khawaja Nafay (wk), Tom Curran, Jahandad Khan, Ahsan Ali, Alzarri Joseph, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Tariq
