PSL 2022: Jason Roy scores 49-ball century as Quetta Gladiators beat Lahore Qalandars

Jason Roy's 116 was the first century by a Quetta Gladiators’ batter and 11th overall in the history of the Pakistan Super League.

England opener Jason Roy announced his arrival in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 with a whirlwind maiden century that steered Quetta Gladiators to an impressive seven-wicket victory over Lahore Qalandars in the 15th and last match of the Karachi-leg on Monday (February 7). Roy raced to his first 50 from 20 balls, while his second 50 came off 29 balls as the Gladiators achieved the 205-target with three balls to spare.

This was the second-highest successful run-chase in the history of the tournament. Roy’s brutal 57-ball assault on probably the best bowling line-up in the competition included 11 fours and eight sixes. The opener’s 116 was the first century by a Quetta Gladiators’ batter and 11th overall in the history of the event.
