Seven players of Lahore Qalandars have featured in 10 games. So, it does seem like this team in resistant in making chances to their starting XI despite their recent voids.
LAH Key Players
- Fakhar Zaman - The fact that Zaman could not get the Qalandars to a good start showcased their vulnerabilities against the Multan Sultans in the first postseason encounter. Given that the left-arm bastman will be expected to lead the batting troop, it will be interesting to witness how he builds his innings against the most attacking bowling unit.
- Shaeen Afridi - Possessing an economy rate of under 8.7 in PSL 2023, Afridi has taken 14 wickets and has caused immense trouble with the new ball.
- Rashid Khan - Arguably being the best spinner to have ever featured in the shortest format, Rashid’s performance could be the x-factor for LQ.
LAH Team Form
After topping the points table, the Qalandars have had struggles in their recent string of games as they have lost 3 of their last 4 games.
