Are Lahore Qalandars Out Of Play-Off Qualification Run After Their Latest Match Got Washed Out?

Lahore Qalandars' luck is fast running out in the PSL 2024 as the two-time defending champion saw their latest match against Peshawar Zalmi washed out due to rain in Rawalpindi on Saturday (March 2). But what is the implication of it on their qualification chances to play-offs?

Lahore Qalandars, who have lost all of their six matches before Saturday's encounter, bagged their first point of the PSL 2024 as both sides shared a point each. Let's take a look at the points table before we look into the qualification scenario.

PSL Points Table 2024

The result leaves Lahore Qalandars in further precarious situations as they are incapable of picking eight points anymore with just three matches left to play in PSL 2024. If they win all of three matches, the most they can earn is 7 points.

Their competitors for the fourth spots, Islamabad United and Karachi Kings have four points from five matches each and are occupying fourth and fifth place in the points table, separated by net run rate. This effectively means, two further wins for any of the franchises will put Lahore Qalandars out of the PSL 2024 Play-Offs run.
