Having dropped Asad Shafiq, Quetta Gladiators opted to bawl first after winning the toss in 11th match of HBL PSL 2017 against Lahore Qalandars at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
In Comparison, Gladiators’ performance has been better than Qalandars in Pakistan Super League. Yesterday, its rain-interrupted match against Peshawar Zalmi ended in no result; therefore, both sides were awarded one point each.
Quetta Gladiators team for today’s match
Saad Nasim, Ahmed Shehzad, Kevin Pietersen, Rilee Rossouw, Sarfraz Ahmed (Captain & Wicket Keeper), Mahmudullah, Thisara Perera, Muhammad Nawaz, Anwar Ali, Hasan Khan, Zulfiqar Babar

Today’s second match will be between Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United in Sharjah.
