QLD Team News
Qalandars put their team together at very short notice after having all of their Pakistani players withdrawn from the competition.

Dawid Malan: Continued the superb form he showed in New Zealand with England as he hit 33 from 18 balls last time out to lift his team to an opening tie.
Tom Banton: Set the tone at the top of the order with 16 from nine balls and the big-hitting, new England batsman has a big reputation to build on.
Chris Jordan: Bowled economically as he claimed 1-15 from his two overs, continuing the resurgent form he had showed with England. He can swing the bat too, should he ever be required to.
