The third edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) hasn’t been on the expected lines for the Brendon McCullum led Lahore Qalandars. With six losses in as many games, they were almost out of contention from making any further progress in the competition. Eventually, they claimed their maiden win beating Multan Sultans by six wickets at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday. The victory came in more as a relief for the team.
With Qalandars reeling at the bottom of the table, the win against Sultans has given them a glimmer of hope with an outside chance to excel towards the business end of the tournament. Following a series of defeats the captain McCullum was under scrutiny but the team management continues their faith in his leadership and has backed him with yet another vote of trust.
