Quetta Gladiators vs Lahorre Qalandars Live Score: Lahore Innings summary

Lahore Qalandars crushed Quetta Gladiators by 79 runs in a dominant display at the PSL. Chasing a mammoth 220, Quetta crumbled to 140 all out, undone by Lahore's ruthless bowling unit. Rishad Hossain led the charge with 3 for 31, including the prized scalp of Rilee Rossouw, who had threatened with a blistering 44 off 19.

Sikandar Raza's spin choked the middle overs, returning 2 for 12 and triggering a collapse that saw Quetta lose four wickets in 15 balls. Despite a late flurry from Faheem Ashraf (21 off 18), the Gladiators were never truly in the hunt. Asif Afridi sealed the deal by cleaning up Faheem to complete the rout.

Earlier, Lahore had posted a daunting 219, setting the tone for a one-sided affair. With this win, Lahore sent a strong message to the rest of the league while Quetta's search for consistency continues after another lopsided defeat.
