LAHORE: After Lahore Qalandars’ defeat to Karachi Kings in the PSL match, captain Shaheen Shah Afridi offered a frank assessment of his team’s performance and the road ahead in the playoff race.
Shaheen acknowledged that Lahore had set a competitive total. “I think it was a very good total. We bowled really badly at the end, especially myself. I should bowl better for the team, but it’s the game,” he admitted, taking responsibility for his own bowling struggles in the death overs.
Looking ahead to the playoff picture, Shaheen noted the scheduling dynamics. “Look, they play before us, and we’ll see how they’re playing. After them, we are playing night games, so let’s see how they go,” he said, indicating that Lahore’s fate may hinge on other results bShaheen’s reflected both accountability and realism. “While Lahore’s batting unit had delivered a strong total, their inability to contain Karachi’s late assault proved costly. An now the playoff race tightening, our focus now shifts to regrouping the side and ensuring sharper execution in the matches to come.”
