Mustafizur's side fail to manage a win yet again


The match between Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators got in action at Dubai where losing the toss, Lahore were sent to bat first.
Bangladesh batsman Mahmudullah Riyad could not make it to Quetta's playing XI in this match as well. However, Mustafizur Rahman was included in Lahore's starting XI.
Brendon McCullum and Sunil Nairne opened the innings for the Lahore-based franchise. McCullum scored 30 off 18, the highest individual score for his team in this match. Narine's cameo of 28 runs from 10 deliveries was also very pleasant to watch.
