Lahore Qalandars Win Their First Match of PSL 2024; Reigning Champions Beat Islamabad United by 17 Runs To End Losing Streak
Despite this win, Lahore Qalandars cannot qualify for the playoffs anymore, having lost six out of eight games played. Islamabad United meanwhile, are still in the race for a spot in the playoffs.
Lahore Qalandars have finally registered their first win of PSL 2024, beating Islamabad United by 17 runs. The reigning champions suffered six losses on the trot before this game but produced a decent all-round show to outplay Shadab Khan and co. Batting first, Rassie van der Dussen starred with 64 runs off 44 balls to help Lahore Qalandars post 162/7. For Islamabad United, Runman Raaes was the best bowler with figures of 2/19. Islamabad United then got off to a horrible start to their run chase, being reduced to 36/5 at one stage. But Faheem Ashraf (41) and Naseem Shah (27) provided some sort of fightback before Lahore Qalandars bowled Islamabad United out for 145 runs. Zaman Khan starred with the ball for Lahore, taking four wickets. Hasan Ali Performs Unique Celebration After Dismissing Saud Shakeel During Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators PSL 2024 Match (Watch Video).
