Toss Quetta Gladiators chose to bowl v Lahore Qalandars

Quetta Gladiators won the toss and put Lahore Qalandars in to bat. Sarfaraz Ahmed's team was looking to come back from a lopsided defeat against Multan Sultans on the weekend, and the captain admitted back-to-back matches and travelling had taken their toll on the side. They make one change to the side, with Fawad Ahmed coming in to replace Sohail Khan.

Lahore, who are yet to win, will find their paths to qualification closing rapidly with a fourth defeat on the trot today. The captain Sohail Akhtar believed a total in excess of 160 could be competitive, and they made three changes to the side. Injury to David Weise meant Sekkugge Prasanna came into the side, while Maaz Khan, who had a tough game against Peshawar Zalmi, made way for Mohammad Faizan. Dane Vilas sat out, with the keeping duties falling to Ben Dunk, who came into the eleven.
