The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10-match between Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars was called off due to heavy rain and dust storms on Thursday at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.
Earlier, Quetta Gladiators had won the toss and elected to bowl first. The match was progressing with Lahore Qalandars at 111 for 3 in 11.3 overs when strong winds and a severe dust storm halted play.
Shortly after, heavy rainfall made conditions unplayable, forcing the match officials to officially abandon the fixture.
Before the match, Quetta Gladiators captain Saud Shakeel said his side’s bowling unit had been performing well in recent games, expressing hope for another strong showing.
Lahore Qalandars skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi noted that they would have opted to bat first regardless and considered a target of 170–180 runs to be defendable.
