Lahore Qalandars Highest Score in PSL

Lahore Qalandars: Scoring as many runs as possible is the simple winning mantra in 20-over cricket. That is why the team focuses more on scoring runs as quickly as possible. And then we see teams even crossing the 200-run mark in their 20 overs. Here we will talk about such big totals by one of the PSL franchises, the Lahore Qalandars.

Lahore is one of the few PSL teams that has seen many ups and downs in this league. They hold the unwanted record of the lowest PSL total of 59 all out, and they are also one of the few teams that have crossed the 200-run mark on more than five occasions in the PSL. So let’s check the list of the highest totals for Lahore in the PSL.

4. Lahore Qalandars (204/4) vs Multan Sultans in 2019

Lahore Sultans’ fourth highest score in the PSL came in the 2019 season. It came in the 10th game of the season against the Multan Sultans, which was a high-scoring thriller. Lahore won the toss and put Multan to bat first. Batting first, Multan got off to a brilliant start, with both openers reaching their respective half-centuries. They added 135 runs for the first wicket in just 11.5 overs. Umar Siddiq (53) and James Vince (84) helped Multan reach a big total of 200/6.

It was a big total to chase, and Lahore needed a good start. That’s what they got from Fakhar Zaman. The left-hander scored 63 off 35 to lay a good foundation. Finally, an unbeaten fifth wicket partnership of 96 runs between David Wiese and AB de Villiers enabled Lahore to record their highest successful chase. They made 204/4 and won the game by six wickets. Wiese made 45 off 20, while De Villiers scored 52 off 29.
