Qalandars Eye Winning Start

The start would be important for both the sides playing the curtain-raiser - Lahore Qalandars and Hyderabad Kingsmen. The Qalandars are the defending champions of the Pakistan Super League and hence they would have their work cut out. They beat the Gladiators in the summit clash of the last edition by 6 wickets. Sikandar Raza emerged as the hero for Lahore Qalandars in the Final. 

Fakhar Zaman with 439 runs to his name was the leading run-getter for the Qalandars. He would like to get the brand new season off to a good start, while Afridi with 19 wickets was the leading wicket-taker. Qalandars are surely one of the hot contenders for the title.
