LAQ beat ISU: Lahore Qalandars into PSL final: Earlier, Abdullah Shafique’s half-century and some late fireworks from David Wiese ensured that Lahore Qalandars put on a competitive 168 after opting to bat first in the PSL Eliminator 2. After Liam Dawson sent Fakhar Zaman and Phil Salt packing, Shafique and Kamran Ghulam put on a counter-attacking 73-run stand to rescue the hosts. A middle-order collapse put them in danger of finishing with an under-par score, but David Wiese smashed 27 off the last over to keep the Qalandars in the game.
