Their batting isn’t helping them.
The one game they did well in was the one they stepped on it and blasted LQ out of the game
The skipper is still not adapting to modern mindset cricket

They still managed to get to 185 yesterday. Bowling was completely listless.
And in batting they have other guys like Usman, Ghulam, Iftikhar and Bracewell down the order too. But they are paying the price for not investing in bowlers like Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Ali, Dahani. All these guys performed very well for them but not retained.
Abbas Afridi was the most shocking omission imo.

They can also choose who they want to keep in the tournament and who they want to knock out for the play offs

Faheem Ashraf (5-33) led Quetta Gladiators to a dominant 64-run victory over Peshawar Zalmi with a brilliant five-wicket haul at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on Sunday night. It took him just 20 balls to claim his second T20 five-wicket haul.
Under the leadership of Saud Shakeel, the Gladiators moved to third on the points table with three wins from five matches, including consecutive victories at their home ground in Lahore.
Quetta’s pace attack delivered a clinical performance, returning a collective 9-81 in 12.2 overs as they defended a total of 178 runs after Zalmi opted to bowl first.
Faheem, who also holds the record for the second-best bowling figures in HBL PSL (6-19), struck early for the Gladiators, removing Saim Ayub in the second over. His key double strike in the eighth over, dismissing Mohammad Haris and Abdul Samad, shattered Zalmi’s batting line-up as they crumbled to 50-5.
Zalmi’s captain Babar Azam fell for just 12 runs, including a six and a four, as Mohammad Amir bowled him out LBW in the third over. Mohammad Wasim Jnr added to Zalmi’s struggles by dismissing Tom Kohler-Cadmore in the fifth over.
Hussain Talat offered some resistance with a 34-ball 39, which included two sixes and four boundaries, but he lacked support, as no other Zalmi batter managed to score more than 20 runs. Khurram Shahzad was also effective with the ball, taking 2 wickets for just 9 runs from three overs, as Zalmi further collapsed to 81-7.
The last three wickets added only 29 runs before Faheem finished the innings, dismissing Luke Wood and Sufyan Moqim in the 12th and 16th overs. Abrar Ahmed took a single wicket in his three overs.
Earlier, Quetta’s top-five batters all reached double figures, with all but No. 3 Rilee Rossouw making significant contributions. Rossouw scored 27 runs off 18 balls, including five fours. Openers Saud Shakeel (32 off 26 balls) and Finn Allen (31 off 16 balls, 4x4s, 2x6s) set the tone with a 46-run partnership off 27 balls, with Allen being the main aggressor.
Saud and Rossouw added 45 runs together, taking the score to 91-2 in 9.3 overs. Kusal Mendis (32 off 27 balls, 5x4s) and Mark Chapman (33 off 26 balls, 3x4s) steadied the innings with a 29-run stand for the fourth wicket before Mendis fell, leaving the score at 144-4 in 17 overs.
Quetta added 34 runs in the last three overs to set a competitive total of 178-7 in 20 overs. Alzarri Joseph was the best bowler for Zalmi, claiming three wickets for 33 runs in four overs, while Saim Ayub took 2 wickets for 24 runs from four overs.
Peshawar Zalmi now sit fifth on the points table with only two wins from six matches. The next day, Monday, 28 April, will be a rest day in HBL PSL X.

You meant they need to make sure Quetta is rightfully above them in the table?

Mohammad Amir in the post-match presser:
"Whether on the field or social media, these rivalries entertain people, especially in T20s—that’s the main goal. As a bowler, my role is to tease the batter and show aggression, while the batter aims to score runs. These things should happen, but within limits. My fans post my videos, Babar’s fans post his. It’s all great for the tournament."
"Babar Azam is a big player, there is no doubt in that. My plan is always to utilize the swing with the new ball. Whoever it is, Saim or Babar. I thought Babar would be ready for the outswinger, so I tried to bring it back in."

Saud Shakeel at the post-match interview:
"When we started batting in the evening, there was extra bounce because the pitch was a bit wet, and there was some grass on it too. But Finn (Allen) gave us a solid start as he went all out, and I managed to get a boundary. I thought we should've gotten past the 180-run mark, but we were about 10 runs short. However, in the back of my mind, I knew that if batters like Mark Chapman and Kusal Mendis struggled once the pitch dried out, I'd have it easier.
Looking at the pitches we've had, I feel we've got a solid combination. We have fast bowlers, a top-quality spinner, and the batters are performing well. But there's always room for improvement."
