Quetta Gladiators bowling coach Umar Gul has said that they are one pacer short in the middle which dented Quetta Gladiators’s chance to restrict Peshawar Zalmi to a low total.

“I will give credit to David Miller who played extremely well throughout and dominated our spinners,” Gul said in his post-match talk after Zalmi crushed Quetta by 61 runs in Abu Dhabi on Saturday night. “In the middle we were going one pacer short and that is why we could not finish it off well. But if you see our pacers bowled well in the last three overs and early on,” he added.

“The mistakes which our pacers had made in the previous game I talked to them about those areas and I think they responded well today early in the innings,” said Gul, a former Pakistan fast bowler and T20 specialist. “We took a fine start but unfortunately in the middle our spinners could not live up to the billing and could not deliver the balls which were needed,” Gul said.

Having tasted their sixth defeat from seven games, Gladiators are now out of the event but Gul said that being professional they would try to address their problems and produce good results in the coming three matches.
