Qalandars claim thrilling win

(Global Super League) – The fourth match of the Guyana Global Super League (GSL) took pace under blue skies and bright sunshine in Providence, Guyana, as the Lahore Qalandars take on the Hampshire Hawks and run out eventual winners by four runs. 

Carlos Braithwaite won the coin toss and decided to have first use with the bat, but his side were put under immediate pressure by the English outfit. Mirza Baig was cleaned up in the second over by the wily left-arm spin of Danny Briggs, while opening partner Adam Rossington hung around to provide some ballast. Qalandars couldn’t break the shackles though; when Rossington fell for 30 off 29 deliveries, the Pakistani side were struggling at 37-3 off eight overs. It was the story of their innings, Hampshire bowled tight lines and denied Qalandars opportunities to pick up easy runs or opportunities to find the fence with any regularity.
