A last-ball sixer from Quetta Gladiators skipper Sarfraz Ahmed sealed win over Lahore Qalandars on Saturday and stretched their winning streak to four matches. The Quetta captain, in a difficult run-chase, faced the final ball of the innings, with his side needing 2 to win. Instead of playing it safe, Sarfraz smashed David Wiese’s low full-toss over wide long-on for a maximum. A bulk of the Gladiators’ runs thus far in PSL 2019 had been scored by the trio of Shane Warson, Rilee Rossouw and Umar Akmal. After Ahsan and Dwayne Smith both departed in back-to-back overs, the Gladiators’ 100 per cent record seemed under genuine threat but skipper Sarfraz Ahmed and all-rounder Nawaz kept their nerves.
