QUE vs LAH Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: PSL 2022 Match 15 | QUE vs LAH Dream11 Prediction Today | Quetta Gladiators vs Lahore Qalandars | Karachi Pitch Report

The final match of the Karachi leg of PSL 2022 is a vital one. Quetta Gladiators, who finished bottom in PSL 2021, have shown some positive signs this season but remain unable to perform consistently. Lahore Qalandars, who also missed the playoffs last year, are starting to take shape nicely after a superb come-from-behind win against the high-flying Islamabad United.

Quetta were all over the place with the ball in their last match vs Islamabad, so the focus will be keeping Lahore in check. This particularly applies to Fakhar Zaman who is in magnificent touch this season, and if Quetta can pick up his wicket early, it will enable them to target Lahore’s middle order as soon as possible.

Sarfaraz Ahmed’s team sit two points behind fourth-placed Zalmi, and a win here will put them into the top four heading into the second-half of PSL 2022. Lahore, who are in third-place currently, sit four points clear of Quetta, so there is incentive for Shaheen Shah Afridi’s team to pull further clear fifth place. Their bowling attack is shaping up as one of the best in the competition, and they will back themselves to get the better of an inconsistent Gladiators team.
