Quetta Gladiators must get their act together as they meet Lahore Qalandars in the 10th game of the Pakistan Super League 2023. The Gladiators come here with a loss against the Peshawar Zalmi and have looked ordinary in the tournament. Lahore Qalandars also had a poor outing losing to Karachi Kings in the last game.
Quetta Gladiators have struggled against the Lahore Qalandars in the past. They have won just twice in the last seven games between the two teams. The Lahore Qalandars have a strong lower middle order with good hitters. It remains to be seen if the Gladiators can break out of their poor form.
Sarfaraz Ahmed's side suffered its second loss in the tournament as they went down by 4 wickets against Peshawar Zalmi in the last game. Their batsmen, who had struggled in the last two games, couldn't push the scoring rate. The bowlers failed to capitalize on the early breakthroughs and need to come up with a better show in this game.
The side hasn't got good starts, and the opening pair of Martin Guptill and Jason Roy must deliver the goods in this game. Sarfaraz Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, and Iftikhar Ahmed need to push the scoring rate in the middle overs of the game. The side will also expect runs from Odean Smith and Abdul Bangalzai toward the end of the innings.
Naseem Shah did well in the last game, but the side needs better efforts from Mohammad Nawaz with the new ball. Qais Ahmed hasn't lived up to the expectations, and he must bowl well in the middle overs with Mohammad Hasnain. Odean Smith and Mohammad Hafeez need to do well in the supporting role.

Shaheen Afridi's side had started the tournament with a win, but they had a poor outing in the last game against the Karachi Kings. Their batsmen and bowlers collectively failed, and the team went down by 67 runs. They have enjoyed a good record against the Gladiators, and Afridi will want his players to take inspiration from it.
They need a good show from Fakhar Zaman and Mirza Tahir Baig in this game. The pair has scored runs in both games. Shai Hope, Kamran Ghulam, and Hussain Talat will look to score quick runs in the middle order. The team's lower middle order is strong, and they will expect runs from Sikandar Raza, David Wiese, and Liam Dawson.
Shaheen Afridi will look to lead from the front and pick early wickets with Zaman Khan after bowling poor lines in the last game. David Wiese, Haris Rauf, and Raza are experienced bowlers, and they would like to trouble Gladiators' batsmen. Liam Dawson must do well in the supporting role.

There would be odd clouds over Karachi on February 21, and it would be a warm evening. We expect the surface to be flat, and bowlers aren't likely to have too much support from the track. The side batting first in this game would be targeting a score near the 200 runs to dominate the game.
National Stadium Karachi is an ideal destination for batsmen as the flat surface allows them to play their strokes without fear. Fast bowlers have a tough time on this surface with very little support. Spinners have enjoyed success here as the ball turns sharply on this dry surface.
Karachi has one of the best batting surfaces in Pakistan, and over the years, we have seen big scores at this venue. Chasing scores has been easy at this venue, and the side winning the toss will opt to bowl first.
Quetta Gladiators are struggling with the bat. Their batsmen haven't scored runs at the required rate. The bowling attack hasn't troubled the opponents; the teams must pull up their socks. The Lahore Qalandars have depth in their batting line-up and a good spin attack. It will put them ahead in the contest.
