2017-2018 Pakistan Super League

Not much you can do when someone has an exceptional day, which was the case with Junaid Khan.

It would be unfair to change a lot of the line-up for just one change: Kashif Bhatti replaces McLaren to accommodate for the slow turning pitch.
You can bring in an overseas for a local to compensate for that change.

Lahore Qalandars came out with all guns blazing today! Jason Roy and Cameron Delport's 120-run partnership was the epitome of redesign-rebuild-reclaim. Then, Mohammad Rizwan and Bilawal Bhatti's cameos made up for Shahid Afridi's hat trick in the 18th over. They saved their team from a massively disappointing collapse that would've occurred after that fabulous 120-run partnership.

Lahore Qalandars' fans erupt with joy after a fantastic win takes them to the top of the table! Peshawar Zalmi, just, just falling short of the total. Perhaps the loss of a set-and-on 77 Eoin Morgan in the final over cost them a win from this thriller. Bilawal Bhatti, who was playing his first match this season, was adjudged the Man of the Match for his cameo and match-winning final over.
