In the upcoming PSL 2024 clash, the defending champions, Lahore Qalandars (LAH), will square off against Quetta Gladiators (QUE) at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium. This encounter marks the second outing for both teams in the tournament. However, the Qalandars find themselves grappling with significant setbacks, especially in their bowling department. The absence of star leg-spinner Rashid Khan, sidelined due to a back injury, leaves a notable void.
Additionally, England’s Dan Lawrence’s unavailability due to national duty further weakens their lineup. On the other hand, Quetta Gladiators will miss the services of Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who is on national duty. Bismillah Khan steps in as a partial replacement for Hasaranga, as the Gladiators gear up for a challenging encounter.
