Preview:
After winning the first two matches, Qalandars are all set to play the Deccan Gladiators in their third game of the season. Both the teams are coming off a victory against the Team Abu Dhabi. It has been all about the top order for both Qalandars and the Gladiators. However, the Gladiators do have an upper hand as they defeated the Qalandars two times in a row in the last season. They would expect their bowlers to deliver if they were to grab the second win of their campaign.
On the other side, Qalandars has been exceptional with both bat and ball. Shahid Afridi was magnificent in the last game, followed by another comfortable chase by the batsmen. There is no better time to give it back to the Gladiators and make it three in a row for the season.
