LAH vs QUE PSL 2024: Gaddafi Stadium Lahore Pitch Report and T20 Records & Stats
In the upcoming PSL 2024 match, Lahore Qalandars (LAH), defending champions, will face Quetta Gladiators (QUE) at Gaddafi Stadium. It’s the second game for both teams, but Lahore Qalandars are facing challenges, particularly in their bowling unit. Star leg-spinner Rashid Khan’s absence due to a back injury creates a significant gap in their lineup.
Furthermore, Lahore Qalandars will also be without England’s Dan Lawrence, who is unavailable due to national duty, further denting their lineup. Meanwhile, Quetta Gladiators will miss the contributions of Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who is on national duty. Bismillah Khan steps in partially to fill the gap left by Hasaranga as the Gladiators prepare for what promises to be a tough match.
