In match 23, the first of the day's double header sees Lahore Qalandars up against Quetta Gladiators.
Pakistan Super League Season: 6
Venue and Time: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi at 8.00 pm Local time, (9.30 pm IST)
Team News:
Gladiators haven't been able to revive their season while Qalandars are favorites to go all the way while the former has an opportunity to cause a few upsets and cause an uproar logwise.
Quetta Gladiators who are languishing at the bottom of the table and so to say one foot on the plane already are in dire need of a miracle to win their remaining matches to stand a chance to qualify while hoping other results go in their favor.
Gladiators have lost two important players due to concussion in Andre Russell and Faf du Plessis and it's unlikely that they'll be available for this match.
Lahore Qalandars were stunned in their previous game against table toppers Islamabad United where they collapsed like a pack of cards. They allowed United to claw their way back in that match twice. Their bowling still remains one of the fiercest in the competitions.
We've been entertained with the Sheikh Zayed stadium offering assistance to both the pacers and spinners as well as something in it for the batsman.

The pitches have been exceptionally good for the batting over the last 3 days, expect good batting conditions again, we've seen the dew in later. Considering the dew factor, teams will look for a chase.
