Rishad Hossain Shines in PSL Final Despite Lahore Qalandars’ Bowling Struggles

Among three Bangladeshi all-rounders in the Lahore Qalandars squad, only Rishad Hossain earned a spot in the playing XI for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final against Quetta Gladiators. The young leg-spinner delivered a mixed performance, conceding 42 runs in 4 overs and picking up 1 crucial wicket.

Rishad had a tough start, going wicketless in his first two overs while conceding 26 runs. However, he bounced back in his third over by dismissing the dangerous Avishka Fernando, who was threatening to take the game away. Fernando was caught on 29, giving Rishad his first wicket of the final.

In his final over, Rishad showed great control and composure, bowling tightly against Hasan Nawaz and Dinesh Chandimal. He did not concede a single boundary in that over, helping his team regain some control during the death overs.

Despite Rishad's efforts, Quetta Gladiators managed to post a competitive 201/9. While his economy rate was on the higher side, Rishad’s ability to fight back under pressure in such a high-stakes match speaks volumes about his temperament and potential.

His performance in the final marks a valuable experience for the young Bangladeshi spinner and reflects positively on Bangladesh’s growing presence in global franchise leagues.
