QUE vs LAH Dream11 Prediction: 23rd Match, PSL 2021
Quetta Gladiators will take on Lahore Qalandars in the 23rd match of the Pakistan Super League 2021 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. We will cover QUE vs LAH Dream11 Team Prediction, Probable Playing XI, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
Quetta Gladiators:
Gladiators are in a lousy position currently as they have won only one out of the seven matches and are at the bottom of the points table. They performed poorly and lost the match by a margin of 61 runs.
Opener Usman Khan is performing well and providing a decent start for the team. In the last match, du Plessis got injured while fielding and was taken off the field due to a concussion, and Saim Ayyub replaced him and batted well. Jake Weatherald, after a good inning in his first, got out early in the last match.
Azam Khan and Delport are struggling this season, and both got out for a duck in the last match. Skipper Sarfaraz looks back in form as he batted well in the middle-order in the last match. Mohammad Nawaz is also not scoring runs as he did in the earlier matches.
The bowlers’ performance has been a significant disadvantage for the team as they cannot pick up wickets consistently. Hasnain has been doing a decent job for the team. Mohammad Nawaz managed to pick up two wickets in the last match.
Quetta Gladiators are almost out of the race for playoffs, and some miracle needs to happen for them to qualify.
Lahore Qalandars:
Qalandars’ performance has been good so far as they have lost only two out of the seven matches and are currently at the 2nd position on the points table. They lost a match after three consecutive wins by 28 runs in the previous game.
Fakhar Zaman finally puts up a good performance in the last match but was unlucky to miss his fifty by just six runs. His partner Sohail Akthar also played a quick inning but has not been consistent this season. Zeeshan Ashraf replaced Faizan at No.3, but he too did not make any impact.
Mohammad Hafeez, who provided good support in the middle overs, is now struggling from the last couple of matches. The brilliant finishers, Ben Dunk and Tim David, also fell early, and the all-rounders Rashid Khan and Faulkner also did not do much with the bat in the last game.
The bowling department has been performing exceptionally well since the restart of the tournament in Abu Dhabi. Shaheen Afridi and James Faulkner have picked up most of the wickets. Haris Rauf has also been very consistent at picking up wickets. In addition to that, they also have Rashid Khan.
Lahore Qalandars would want to bounce back to the top of the points table by winning their next match against Gladiators.
