Lahore look to salvage some pride in face-off against Karachi

DUBAI: Lahore Qalandars’ dream has ended: Quetta Gladiators’ win over Peshawar Zalmi last night threw Lahore out of the race for top four, clean sweeping any hope of a miracle.

With six defeats and just one win out of their seven games, Lahore’s qualification was still virtually impossible, independent of the outcome of yesterday’s match.

The team, however, will look to salvage some pride when it goes up against Karachi Kings at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium tonight.

Karachi sit at third spot on the points table with 9 points, with four wins and two losses to their name.
