Lahore Qalandars continued their hot streak against the Quetta Gladiators in Gaddafi Stadium to solidify their position atop the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 points table.
Their 17-run win over the Gladiators not only extended their win streak to 4 matches but almost assured them of a top-two finish in the playoffs.
Gladiators, meanwhile, have just four games left and are more likely than not to miss the business end of the competition for a fourth season.
