Quetta Gladiators refreshed the memories of PSL's first edition as they chased Lahore Qalandars' 201-run target on Saturday in Sharjah.

Last year, Lahore were the first team to put up a 200+ score on the board and courtesy Mohammad Nabi, Quetta chased it down on the last ball.

Today, it was Kevin Pietersen (88* off 42) and captain Sarfraz Ahmed (45 off 25) who took charge of the chase and helped Gladiators chase the target with seven balls to spare.



Earlier, Lahore managed to score 200-3 in their 20 overs courtesy Jason Roy's 51 off 27 balls.
