Opener Fakhar Zaman blasted a 50-ball 94 to lead Lahore Qalandars to a 17-run win over Quetta Gladiators in the Twenty20 Pakistan Super League in Sharjah last night. 
Zaman's whirlwind knock, which consisted nine fours and six sixes, helped Qalandars reach a mammoth total of 186-4. After being sent into bat, Fakhar provided a solid start adding 43 runs for the opening wicket with Anton Devcich (18). 
But  Qalandars lost three wickets within 30 runs as Agha Salman and captain Brandon McCullum fell cheaply. But Fakhar and Gulraiz Sadaf added 68 runs from just 30 balls.
In reply, Gladiators  could only muster 169 for 6 in 20 overs. Rilee Rossouw top-scored with 22-ball 42, while Jason Roy made 36 off 26 while opening the batting. Captain Sarfraz Ahmed remained not out on 28 but it wasn’t enough to save his team from defeat. Sunil Narine and Yasir Shah picked up two wicket each for Qalandars.
