Today, the exhibition match was played at the surface of Bughti Stadium, Quetta. Team Quetta batted first.
Team Gladiators set a massive target of 184 with a loss of 5 wickets. In starting, it felt that team Quetta was not in excellent form, but as the Iftikhar Ahmad came to crease, everything was going to change. He scored 94 runs in 50 balls. In the last over, he smashed six sixes to Wahab Riaz. The other vital batters from the Gladiators were Khushdil Shah and BAngalzai. They scored 36 and 28, respectively.
