Quetta Gladiators

Recent Form

Quetta have won two of their last six matches, but the losses carry weight. A 118-run defeat to Peshawar Zalmi stands out as particularly heavy, while Karachi Kings dismantled them with nine wickets still in hand and nine balls unused. Lahore Qalandars beat them by nine runs in one meeting, though Quetta turned the tables in a return fixture, winning by six wickets with 22 balls remaining.

The wins tell a different story. Against Rawalpindi, Quetta posted enough to win by 61 runs - a convincing performance with the bat. That victory over Lahore showed they can chase effectively when required, reaching the target with overs to spare.

The pattern suggests inconsistency. Heavy defeats suggest either batting collapses or bowling breakdowns depending on the match, while their wins have come when they've controlled the game from the start or successfully hunted down modest targets. The nine-wicket loss to Karachi and the 118-run thrashing by Peshawar indicate they struggle against stronger attacks or lose momentum quickly once things go wrong.

Quetta need to find consistency across both disciplines. The chasing win over Lahore proves they have the skill to build innings under pressure, but they'll need to replicate that form more regularly to move up the table.
