    Qalandars vs Gladiators; who will win today?

    Tournament favourites Lahore Qalandars will face a team in trouble on Thursday. Quetta Gladiators are at the bottom of the points table while Qalandars are right on top.

    Lahore Qalandars fans are excited to watch Lahore vs Quetta in their home ground, but they are likely relaxed too after their team performed extraordinarily well in their first 4 games.

    Last time Lahore palyed against Quetta at the National Stadium, Qalandars thrashed the Gladiators, winning the match by 63 runs. Now Quetta Gladiators are ready to take revenge.

    Experts say that there is a strong chance of Lahore Qalandars maintaining their winning streak, with a complete batting and bowling line up. Spinner Rashid Khan can change the game single handedly, Shaheen Afridi is famous for grabbing first over wickets and the king of seam, Haris Rauf.

    Their batting line up is also strong in term of hitting in power play, with powerful hitters Fakhar Zaman and Kamran Ghulam.

    Shaheen Afridi’s team heads into the fixture after thumping Islamabad United by 110 runs in their previous outing. Quetta Gladiators have managed to win just one match in the tournament so far, with their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages of the competition looking increasingly bleak with each passing game.

    Sarfaraz says doesn’t want son to be a cricketer

    Former Pakistan Skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed has said that he does not want his son to opt for cricket as a career for sake of his mental well-being. 

    The wicket-keeper batsman, an interview to ARY Digital, said that although his son Abdullah is interested in cricket, he does not want him to be a professional cricketer. “I only care for my son’s mental well-being and will never want Abdullah go through the stress professional cricketers’ experience.”

    Sarfaraz said he does not want little Abdullah to experience what he has had to bear in the ups and downs of his 15 year-long cricketing career.

    Sarfaraz Ahmed made his international debut against archrival India in Jaipur in 2007 but could not find a permanent spot in the team until 2014.

    He led the Pakistani team to the historic win of ICC Champions Trophy of 2017, beating archrivals India in the final.

    The wicket-keeper batsman was removed from T20I and ODI captaincy and recently was dropped from the T20I and ODI squads against Australia.
