Weather and Pitch Report 

The weather in Rawalpindi on April 13, 2025, is predicted to be cold and sunny with a comfortable 18-22 °C at night, low humidity, and less rain chance in the forecast, which means we are set for a full match. The pitch at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will also be supporting batting; the surface will even bounce, making it easy to score high totals, but openers may struggle with the early swing that pacers like Amir and Afridi will get off the wicket. We should expect a par score of 170 to 190.

Match Preview

Quetta Gladiators enter with confidence, aiming to unleash Finn Allen’s explosiveness and Rilee Rossouw’s finishing alongside Mohammad Amir’s new-ball threat to rattle LAH. Lahore Qalandars, powered by Shaheen Afridi’s leadership and Fakhar Zaman’s strokeplay, will look to dominate with Haris Rauf’s pace and Sikandar Raza’s all-round flair. With the pitch threatening to yield runs but giving bowlers early assistance, QUE's top order will encounter LAH's aggressive pacers, and LAH's middle order may face a test from QUE's Akeal Hosein. A high-energy encounter with powerplay pyrotechnics and death-over theatrics will take over Rawalpindi.
