Qalandars Collapse Adds to PSL Lowest Middle Overs Runs Records

Lahore Qalandars scored 42 runs in overs seven to sixteen against Quetta Gladiators in a PSL 11 match, marking one of the lowest middle‑overs totals in league history.

The record places the Shaheen Shah Afridi‑led Qalandars alongside previous low totals, including 34 by Islamabad United in 2022, 35 by Peshawar Zalmi in 2017, and 40 by Karachi Kings in 2021.

Earlier, the three‑time champions also managed 41 runs in the middle overs against Gladiators in 2018, highlighting repeated batting struggles during this crucial phase of the innings.

The latest collapse adds to PSL records for least runs scored in middle overs, underlining consistent difficulties for the defending champions during overs seven to sixteen this season.

Quetta Gladiators restricted Lahore Qalandars to 134 runs in 19.5 overs, with Usman Tariq and Jahandad Khan claiming three wickets each at National Bank Stadium.

Qalandars lost early wickets as Mohammad Naeem fell for four, Fakhar Zaman scored 20, and Charith Asalanka managed six, leaving the champions reeling at 36/3.

Saqib Khan trapped Mohammad Farooq lbw for two, while Abdullah Shafique added 17 before Usman Tariq dismissed him stumped, reducing Qalandars further to 60/6 in 10.4 overs.

Haseebullah Khan top‑scored with 33 runs, supported by Sikandar Raza’s 24‑run stand and Daniel Sams’ 25‑run partnership, but wickets continued falling at regular intervals.

Usama Mir provided late resistance with 22 off seven balls, including three sixes, before Jahandad Khan dismissed him and Haris Rauf to finish the innings.

Quetta Gladiators’ bowling was led by Usman Tariq and Jahandad Khan with three wickets each, Alzarri Joseph with two, while Saqib Khan contributed one dismissal.
