Rawalpindi, April 13, 2025 – The excitement is palpable as Quetta Gladiators gear up to face off against Lahore Qalandars in Match 4 of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10.
The match is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM Pakistan Standard Time (PST) at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, and a packed crowd is expected to witness what could be a nail-biting T20 clash.
While both teams boast talented squads, the momentum lies with the Gladiators, who made a stunning start to their campaign with a thumping 80-run win over Peshawar Zalmi. Their batting lineup fired on all cylinders, with Finn Allen and Saud Shakeel providing a blazing start. Allen’s explosive 23-ball fifty set the tone, while Rilee Rossouw and Kusal Mendis chipped in with valuable cameos to push the score to a massive 216.
The Gladiators’ bowling unit looked equally lethal, with Mohammad Amir striking early and Abrar Ahmed spinning magic in the middle overs, claiming four wickets. Usman Tariq also impressed, keeping the Zalmi batters under pressure throughout the chase.
In contrast, Lahore Qalandars had a disappointing start, losing their opening match to Islamabad United. Despite a classy 66-run knock by Abdullah Shafique, the Qalandars faltered in the batting department, folding for just 139. Their bowlers had early control, especially in the Powerplay, but couldn’t maintain the pressure. Asir Afridi stood out with economical figures, but the rest of the bowling attack failed to stop the flow of runs.
With one team flying high and the other looking for redemption, this encounter promises drama, intensity, and high-quality cricket. The Gladiators will be eyeing a second straight win to cement their early dominance, while the Qalandars are desperate to bounce back and register their first points.
Will the Gladiators continue their winning streak, or can the Qalandars rise to the occasion? Tonight’s showdown in Rawalpindi will provide the answers.
