Saud delivered an impressive performance, remaining not out with 88 runs, including five fours and four sixes in his 65-ball innings.
In the earlier part of the match, Shaheen Afridi and Abdullah Shafique quickly scored half-centuries, propelling the Lahore Qalandars to a score of 166/4 after opting to bat first.
With the victory of the Quetta team, the Karachi Kings are now eliminated from the competition for the final four. The teams that have qualified are the Multan Sultans, Peshawar Zalmi, Islamabad United, and Quetta Gladiators.
This marks the first time since 2019 that the Quetta team has made it to the final four.
Previously, Islamabad secured their place in the playoffs with a victory over the Multan Sultans at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. The thrilling match was decided on the last ball, with Islamabad’s Imad Wasim leading his team to an important win.
As for the remaining matches of the tournament, they are inconsequential. The Kings will face Zalmi on Monday, while the Sultans will play against the Gladiators on Tuesday.
