On Wednesday, the Quetta Gladiators will kick off their campaign in the Pakistan Super League 2023. They will encounter Multan Sultans. The much-anticipated encounter will take place on February 15 at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
Multan Sultans enter the T20 Championship after losing to Lahore Qalandars in the season opener. The Sultans had a rough day at the workplace, falling to the reigning champs by one run. The squad was limited to 174 runs in their allowed 20 overs while chasing 176 runs. Despite the defeat, Mohammad Rizwan was the star player, scoring 75 runs off 50 balls.
The Quetta Gladiators enter the tournament after a disappointing season last year. Sarfaraz Ahmed’s side failed to make an impression in the 2022 season, losing six of their ten league matches. This year’s group is more balanced, therefore the team will be hoping for better results.
