Lahore beat Rawalpindiz, end losing streak
KARACHI: Lahore Qalandars broke their losing streak of three games by beating Rawalpindiz by a 32-run margin in their seventh match and went up to the sixth place on the points table displacing Karachi Kings here at the National Bank Stadium, Karachi on Saturday night.
Fakhar Zaman’s blazing 84 and Mohammad Farooq’s 63 set the platform for Lahore’s 210-4 as the duo put on 121 runs while opening. In turn, Rawalapindiz showed fight with quickfire half-centuries from Yasir Khan and Saad Masood but in vain as only one other batter entered double figures.
Rawalpindiz have now become the second side in HBL PSL history besides Karachi Kings in 2022 to lose the first seven matches of the season. With this win, Lahore are tied on six points with seventh-placed Karachi Kings, fifth-placed Hyderabad Kingsmen and fourth-placed Quetta Gladiators.
