Prediction: Lahore Qalandars VS Quetta Gladiators 2025-05-25
The Pakistan Super League 2025 final is here, and what a matchup we have - the top-seeded Quetta Gladiators taking on the surging Lahore Qalandars at the Gaddafi Stadium. The Gladiators are looking for their second title since 2019, while the Qalandars are seeking their third.
Quetta has been on fire, winning seven consecutive matches, with a strong bowling core led by Mohammad Amir and Abrar Ahmed. Lahore, on the other hand, has been dealing with key player absences but still managed to secure their spot in the final with a 95-run victory over Islamabad United.
Given the Gladiators' dominant form and strong bowling, I'm picking them to win this one. The Qalandars have done a great job of "papering over" their weaknesses, but I think Quetta's depth and consistency will ultimately pay off.
Best Bet: Quetta Gladiators to win. Unfortunately, odds are not available, but if I had to put a number on it, I'd say Quetta is around a 1.80 favorite. Lahore's ability to overcome adversity and make it to the final is impressive, but I think Quetta's overall strength and momentum will be too much for them. Get ready for a thrilling match, and let's hope the Gladiators can bring home their second title!
