PES vs LHQ: TEAMS PREVIEW
Lahore Qalandars Preview
Lahore Qalandars are in a bit of a pickle, aren’t they? After a string of six defeats, they must be feeling the pressure to turn things around. In their last outing, they chased a mammoth 215 runs but fell short, managing just 154. Sahib Farhan, Van Der Dussen, and Fakhar Zaman showed sparks of brilliance but couldn’t convert their starts into big scores. Now, it’s crunch time. The experienced heads in the batting lineup – captain Beth Mooney, Rassie Van Der Dussen, and the explosive Fakhar Zaman – need to fire on all cylinders. The likes of Sikander Raza, George Linde, and Shaheen Afridi must rally behind them, both with bat and ball.

- Sahib Farhan
- Rassie Van Der Dussen
- Fakhar Zaman
- Sikander Raza
- George Linde
- Shaheen Afridi
- Carlos Brathwaite / Bhanuka Rajapaksa
