Preview of Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators

Reigning champions Lahore Qalandars (LAH) will face off against bottom-placed Quetta Gladiators (QUE) in the 18th match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023. The match is scheduled to take place on March 2 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. 
LAH have been in scintillating form this season, winning four of their first five matches and currently occupying the top spot on the points table. They head into the fixture after a dominant performance against Islamabad United, where they won by a massive 110 runs.
On the other hand, QUE have struggled this season, managing to win only one match in the tournament so far. Their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages of the competition look increasingly slim with each passing game.
The surface at the Gaddafi Stadium has proved to be a batting paradise in the tournament, with the batters scoring big runs at this venue. Therefore, the team winning the toss would be inclined to bat first as the teams batting first have found reasonable success at this venue.
In terms of prediction, LAH are the clear favorites to win this match given their strong form and the current struggles of QUE. However, cricket is a game of uncertainties, and QUE will be hoping to cause an upset and turn their fortunes around in this fixture.
