After a good start to the season, the Qalandars have lost the plot. Some controversies hit the camp, and it seems that their momentum has been broken. They have lost two games in a row now.

LAH vs QUE: Pitch Report

The wicket at National Stadium has been a good scoring venue, with a little help for the spinners. As seen in recent matches, the chasing sides have had more success here.

Especially in the evening games, there will be some swing under light with the new ball, which will settle down with time. Hence, batting second is preferred because of possible dew in the evening.

LAH vs QUE: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?

Both teams have struggled with the bat in recent matches. But Quetta Gladiators seem to have failed with their bowling plans also. Their conservative batting approach and not much contribution in the middle order are key reasons for their downfall. Lahore Qalandars are still a better bowling unit than the Gladiators. Hence, we back Lahore Qalandars to win this game in Karachi.
