Lahore Qalandars must win their final group match against Peshawar Zalmi on May 9 to secure a spot in the playoffs of the tenth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL X).
The playoff race intensified after Zalmi defeated Multan Sultans, dramatically altering the points table. The Shaheen Shah Afridi-led Qalandars have collected nine points from nine matches, making their final fixture a do-or-die contest.
Meanwhile, the Babar Azam-led Zalmi will confirm their place in the playoffs if they win their remaining two matches. In another key fixture, Islamabad United will face Quetta Gladiators in the 26th match of PSL X at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi.
It is worth noting that the Mohammad Rizwan-led Multan Sultans have been eliminated from the tournament after a disappointing campaign, despite having reached the final in each of the last four editions.
