Lahore-Quetta abandoned because of rain

The match between Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League was abandoned in the first innings because of rain.

Lahore were 111-3 having batted 11.3 overs when the players were forced off the field.

Fakhar Zaman had been bowled for a duck by Khurram Shahzad from the third ball of the game, but Mohammad Naeem (50) and Abdullah Shafique (53 not out) added 101 for the home side’s second wicket.

Abrar Ahmed had Naeem caught by Hasan Nawaz, and then saw Daryl Mitchell taken for three by Rilee Rossouw in his next over from what proved to be the last ball of the match.

The sides remain level on nine points, with Lahore one place above Quetta in second thanks to a superior run-rate, but having played a game more.
