Lahore Qalandar on Sunday shared an update regarding their main fast bowler Haris Rauf, who was badly injured while catching against Karachi Kings at Gaddafi Stadium, said that the medical board is examining Haris Rauf’s injury.
In a statement, the Lahore Qalandar team said: “The scan on the shoulder injury is complete, but further updates will be provided after the complete scan report.”
The 30-year-old injured his shoulder while catching Hasan Ali.
During the post-match press conference, Shaheen Afridi said in the caption of Lahore Qalanders that “Haris Rauf is injured, he played really well today and I hope he recovers soon. I don’t know the extent of his injuries, but we are praying for him.”
Kieron Pollard’s 33-ball 58 and Mir Hamza (2-31) helped Karachi Kings hand Lahore Qalandars their fourth consecutive defeat in the 10th match of the ninth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday.
Chasing a target of 175-6, the visitors completed the equation in the final delivery when Mir Hamza plundered the run off Ahsan Hafeez.
After facing an early hitch, Kings lost four wickets for 44. But it was all about the immense experience of the duo of Pollard and Shoaib Malik that paved the way for Kings to get back into the match. The duo put together a partnership of 95 runs from just 59 balls which clearly added momentum to the Kings innings.
Irfan Khan (12 off 10) and Mir Hamza (1 off) remained unbeaten to ensure the Kings got past the Qalandars.
The other batsmen, Shan Masood (10), Muhammad Akhlaq (7), James Vince (8), Mohammad Nawaz (15), Daniel Sams (7) and Hasan Ali (9), did not show any significant resistance with the bat.
Zaman Khan (2-25), Ahsan Hafeez (2-19) took two wickets for Qalandars. Haris Rauf (1-22) and Shaheen Shah Afridi (1-34) claimed a scalp each. George Linde (0-25) remained wicketless.
