Still, Lahore Qalandars had many chances to play the knockout stage of the matches because if they won their all remaining matches and if Islamabad United and Karachi Kings lost their all matches, it would become easy but it's impossible so if Karachi Kings lost all the matches and Islamabad United win so they will win with less to less run rate else we are not seeing Qalandars into the Semi-final and if they would not qualify so some big problem in their team because in the last 2 years, they performed their best and from the starting of the PSL we have seen always Lahore Qalandars poor show this time, everything going to against them.
Why is Lahore Qalandars losing matches back-to-back?
Look at the following reasons:
1- David Wises Khan is not present due to injury.
2- Haris Rauf Khan is not present due to injury.
3- Rashid Khan is not present due to injury.
4- Shaheen is not in form.
5- Fakhar Zaman is not in form.
6- Zaman Khan had a ball issue on line & length.
7- Sikandar Raza is not in form in batting and doing average bowling.
8- After a lot of losses team confidence has been finished.
These are some of the reasons that Lahore Qalandars have to face in this PSL season, this condition is the same like the 2016 PSL season where some players were injured and some were not in form.
Today again Peshawar Zalmi can easily win the match, if they win the toss and choose to bat first because as you have seen in the last match of Peshawar Zalmi all the players playing in a calm mood, and from the middle order batsmen started to hit and on the other Babar Azam built innings but in the death overs Babar Azam starting to hitting and when batsmen start to hit at death overs, it will dangerous for any bowlers because if a bowler got a sixes at death over then full match responsibility comes on the bowler and then they depend on him after this a young bowler got confused but also Lahore Qalandars had experienced bowlers but they are all injured else of Shaheen Shah Afridi.
