Chasing a target of 198, Quetta Gladiators finished at 188 for 7 despite strong batting performances from their top-order players. Openers Shamyl Hussain and captain Saud Shakeel gave Quetta a solid start with a 49-run partnership. Saud scored 17 before being dismissed by Sikandar Raza.

Shamyl continued his fine form and made 53 off 31 balls, hitting five fours and three sixes, but he was run out after settling well at the crease. Rilee Rossouw kept Quetta in the game with a powerful 62 off 29 balls, reaching his 13th PSL fifty, but his dismissal in the 15th over proved costly for the chase.

In the final overs, Haris Rauf bowled tightly and conceded just nine runs in the last over when Quetta needed 19, effectively sealing the match for Lahore.
