  "textContent": "LAHORE: The Quetta Gladiators posted a competitive total of 167 runs against the Multan Sultans, thanks to a composed and vital half-century from their skipper Saud Shakeel. His innings kept the Gladiators afloat after a shaky start and gave them something to defend in this thrilling PSL 2026 encounter.\n\nThe Gladiators lost both openers early, with Khawaja Nafay scoring 12 and Shamyl Hussain just 2, leaving the team reeling at 15 runs in three overs. But Saud, joined by Hasan Nawaz, steadied the innings, putting on a crucial 55-run partnership for the third wicket. Nawaz eventually fell to Arafat Minhas in the 10th over, and Minhas struck again to remove Rilee Rossouw (1), leaving the Gladiators at 72-4 just before the halfway mark.\n\nSaud remained the backbone of the innings, keeping the scoreboard ticking and finishing with 56 off 41 balls, laced with six fours and a six. Jacobs provided late fireworks, scoring 49 not out off 31 balls with four fours and three sixes, narrowly missing out on a half-century. Tom Curran was dismissed in the 17th over by Nawaz, but the Gladiators managed to reach a defendable total.\n\nFor the Sultans, Hasan Nawaz led the bowling attack with 3 wickets for 30 runs, supported by Arafat Minhas with two wickets and captain Turner taking one.\n\nWith Saud’s crucial fifty anchoring the innings, the Gladiators set a challenging 167-run target, leaving the Multan Sultans with a tense chase ahead as the match enters its exciting final stages.\n\nThe post PSL 2026: Gladiators set 167-run target after Saud’s crucial fifty in MS vs QG appeared first on HUM News English.",
