Hampshire Hawks fell to a four-run defeat by Lahore Qalandars in their second match of the 2024 Global Super League (GSL) in Guyana.

Set 136 to win, the Hawks could only make 131-8 off their 20 overs, with Qalandars spinner Tabraiz Shamsi claiming 3-21.

Opener Tom Prest hit 30 off 22 balls but Hampshire could only reach 53-3 off 10 overs, ultimately leaving them with too much to do as the required run-rate climbed.

Pakistan Super League side Qalandars earlier posted 135-5 thanks to Luke Wells hitting a vital 35 not out off 24 balls late on.

Both sides have now won one and lost one in the group stage of the five-team competition.

Each team plays each other once in the group, with the top two qualifying for the final on Friday, 6 December.
