Another clinical performance by Lahore Qalandars, as they rout Islamabad United by 110 runs in the 16th match of Pakistan Super League season eight (PSL8) in Lahore.
After posting a giant 201-run target, Lahore bundled out Islamabad for just 90 runs inside 14 overs.
It was all about holding the nerves and Lahore mastered the art. Even after conceding 41 runs in the first four overs, they came back brilliantly and cleaned up the opposition for just 90 runs.
Zaman Khan provided the initial breakthrough as he removed dangerman Rahmanallah Gurbaz for 23 before David Wiese sent Collin Munro packing for his 18. With Munro's wicket, the floodgates opened, and the remaining 8 wickets went down for 48 runs. Islamabad were bowled out for 90 runs - their second-lowest score in the PSL.
Earlier, Lahore got off to a flying start with Mirza Tahir Baig (20) and Fakhar Zaman (36) smashing Islamabad bowlers all over the park. The pair perished right after the powerplay, but middle-order batters Sam Billings, Hussain Talat and Sikandar Raza, with their individual scores of 45, 33, and 23, didn't let the run rate falter. Some late flurry from Rashidk Khan (18), and David Weise (12) took them to the 200-run mark in their 20 overs.

After a horrific start to their HBL Pakistan Super League season, all Quetta Gladiators would be wishing for was a sniff. They did get more than just that here on a damp night at the Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday, only for hosts Lahore Qalandars to snatch the match out of their jaws to take it by 17 runs.
The result meant the Qalandars consolidated their position at the top of the standings with five wins in six matches while the Gladiators found themselves under the weight of their misery at the bottom of the points table with just one victory in six games.
After Sikandar Raza pulled the Qalandars out of deep trouble with a blistering show with the bat to give the Gladiators a fighting target of 149 to chase, the Lahore bowlers triggered a collapse for Sarfraz Ahmed and co after openers Will Smeed and Yasir Khan had given them a decent start.
Smeed punished Shaheen Shah Afridi for pitching one in the slot outside off-stump twice, driving him through the covers for consecutive fours in the first over. Yasir got his first boundary with a top edge off Haris Rauf before Smeed added four more.
The openers were comfortable against the Qalandars’ pacers before Yasir was caught behind off Haris on the final ball of the sixth over, with 53-1 on the board for the Gladiators by the end of the powerplay.
The visitors couldn’t find their way back after that, and their collapse started when Rashid Khan trapped Smeed lbw in the seventh over. After Quetta went two overs without a boundary, Mohammad Hafeez was run out by David Wiese.
Rashid returned to spin one sharply past Iftikhar Ahmed to force an edge of the right-hander’s bat in the 11th over before Martin Guptill found Abdullah Shafique at the cow-corner boundary off Wiese.
The next to depart was Odean Smith, who got a top edge off Haris for wicket-keeper Sam Billings to take an easy catch. With the Quetta outfit further cramped up for runs, Haris sent Mohammad Nawaz’s stumps flickering in the penultimate over.
The Gladiators required 25 in the last over, but pacer Zaman Khan restricted them with ease despite conceding one six as Sarfraz walked back after a causeless run-a-ball 28-ball 27.
With the pitch offering bounce and movement to the fast bowlers, Qalandars had a poor start with the bat. They were reeling at 50-7 at one point — after the Gladiators pacers had run through their batting line-up — before Raza’s counterattacking knock of 71 off 34 balls boosted them to a fighting total.
The Zimbabwean batter was ably supported by Rashid’s contribution of a 20-ball 21. The duo put up a 69-run partnership off just 39 balls for the eighth wicket.
The Gladiators went into the match with three changes, which saw veteran pacer Umaid Asif and Afghan quick Naveen-ul-Haq make it to the side for the first time this season.
Umaid’s first contribution, however, came from the field when his throw from mid-on ran out Lahore dangerman Fakhar Zaman. The 38-year-old then went on to dismiss Fakhar’s opening partner Tahir Baig.
Naveen struck in the next over to get Sam Billings to leave Qalandars in deep trouble at 16-3. The right-armer then squared Hussain Talat to clean the southpaw up.
Shaheen promoted himself up the order — apparently as a low-value wicket — and his decision seemed impactful when he drove medium-pacer Smith through the offside for a boundary before getting another with a sweep off Mohammad Nawaz’s spin.
After Abdullah played Nawaz onto his stumps, Shaheen ran himself out in the ninth over before Wiese was caught by Nawaz off his own bowling.
Raza started off his onslaught with a heave to clear the midwicket boundary off Nawaz in the 12th over before scooping Umaid behind for another maximum in the next, which also saw Rashid take on the veteran pacer for another six and a boundary.
Raza found three more boundaries off Naveen before Rashid holed Smith out to Iftikhar in the deep in the 16th over. The right-hander brought up his half-century in 22 balls with a four off Naseem Shah in the 17th over before the pacer dismissed Haris.
The Gladiators missed a golden chance to run Raza out at the bowling end in the penultimate over and rued their mistake when he smashed Naveen through the covers for two consecutive boundaries and got a six off Umaid in the final over.

Islamabad United beat Quetta Gladiators by two wickets in the 21st match of the Pakistan Super League season eight (PSL) to confirm their berth in the tournament's playoff stage.
The home side hunted down the 180-run target in 19.3 overs with two wickets to spare. The match was played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Islamabad had a dream start to their chase, scoring 77 runs at the cost of two wickets of Rahmanullah Gurbaz (0), and Alex Hales (12). Kiwi swashbuckling opener Collin Munro (63) tore apart Quetta's bowling lineup. The team's total was 96 in seven overs when he got out. His wicket opened the floodgates as the next three fell for just 15 runs, leaving Islamabad 111/6 in 11.1 overs.
Faheem Ashraf (39), and Azam Khan (35) rebuilt the innings without letting the asking rate slip away. With 31 required from the last three overs, Azam scored 13 off Naveen ul Haq's last over, who otherwise had been the most successful of Quetta's bowlers, to bring down the equation to 18 off 12. He then smashed Umaid Yusuf for another maximum but got caught at Fine Leg on the very next ball. The next three deliveries produced just two runs and a wicket of Hasan Ali (1).
Requiring 9 from the final over, Faheem Ashraf hit Odean Smith for three consecutive fours to seal the deal for Islamabad United.
Earlier, Quetta Gladiators’ start was as horrible as their tournament has been so far. They were 19/4 after the powerplay, losing Yaris Khan (5), Will Smeed (0), Sarfaraz Ahmed (3), and Iftikhar Ahmed (2) in the process. They could have as well been booked for fewer than 100, had it not been for Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nawaz and Umar Akmal. The first two scored 59, and 52, respectively to put Quetta’s innings back on track, while Umar Akmal, with 14-ball 43, provided the much-needed pump down the order to power Quetta to 179/6.
