If match isn’t completed, it will probably be the end of the tournament for QG.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Damn haven’t seen this much rain in Lahore ever.

 

[shah_1]

If match isn’t completed, it will probably be the end of the tournament for QG.

Not if Lahore loses both games, Karach wins against Islamabad and QG wins against Karachi

 

[Titan24]

Just to add, QG might still have an outside chance if it rains, by winning their next match and hoping LQ looses its remaining two and IU looses its one remaining match.

 

[Titan24]

Not if Lahore loses both games, Karach wins against Islamabad and QG wins against Karachi

Correct but quite a few ifs will get involved.

 

[shah_1]

• 1 point today for Multan means top 2 for them is guaranteed
• Peshawar would need to win just to be on safe side but can still compete on NRR
• Islamabad would need Peshawar to lose and IU to win against Karachi, will be ahead of Peshawar on NRR and QG NRR is too low for IU even if they win against karachi. They would also want Lahore to lose both games if Peshawar wins it against Multan.
• Lahore needs one win to qualify
• QG chances have been told already

Dont want Quetta to win... they have given 0 chances to any youngster for this season apart from the great Azam Khan ... and yeah , Naseem Shah doesn't count as a youngster as he is already a settled member of national team

I want Quetta to finish 6th and face the embarrassment that they had

1) Azam Khan playing all the matches where he was only good in 1 game
2) Sarfraz being useless and continued to be useless
3) An avg cricketer Nawaz given a platinum contract
4) No youngster introduced

Confirmation... Match Abandoned oh dear...

 

[The Viper]

The 25th fixture of the ongoing HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 between Quetta Gladiators and Multan Sultans at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium was abandoned due to persistent rain on Wednesday.

The two teams share the two points of the match equally. Quetta Gladiators now have seven points – same as Islamabad United (fourth) and Karachi Kings (fifth) – from nine matches, but remain at the bottom of the table due to a low net run rate.

Gladiators’ final group-match is on Sunday, 15 March, against Karachi Kings at the National Stadium.

Table-toppers Multan Sultans have 12 points from eight matches. They are already guaranteed qualification with five wins.

Sultans play their last two matches against Peshawar Zalmi, at Karachi’s National Stadium on March 13, and Lahore Qalandars, at the Gaddafi Stadium on March 15.

On Thursday, arch-rivals Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars lock horns in a much-anticipated contest at the National Stadium. Imad Wasim-led Kings will be eyeing vengeance after Sohail Akhtar-led Qalandars secured a comprehensive eight-wicket win on Sunday.

Childhood flashbacks.... good times

 

[ARK Rafay]

What a great time that was. We had not 1 but 2 match winners and finishers. Now we struggle to find 1 finisher.
