Role in Lahore Qalandars’ campaign: Shafique has provided quick runs in the middle overs, pairing an above‑average strike‑rate (147) with two half‑centuries. He is Lahore’s second‑highest run‑getter after Fakhar Zaman. Wisden
Biggest knock so far: 66 (off 42) against Quetta Gladiators on 1 May, sharing a 102‑run stand that put Qalandars in a dominant position before rain washed the match out. ESPN Cricinfo
Play‑off surge: In Eliminator 1 on 22 May he smashed 65 (35b, 5 × 6, 3 × 4) to chase down 191 and knock Karachi Kings out of the tournament. Those runs will push his season tally to 324 from 11 innings once the official tables update. Dunya News

A strike‑rate near 150 with 27 fours and 10 sixes shows Shafique has added the power‑hitting Qalandars often rely on once the field spreads.
With the extra 65, his average will rise to roughly 29 (with 10 dismissals) and he’ll climb into the tournament’s top‑six run‑scorers ahead of David Warner and Babar Azam.
Qalandars still have at least one match left (Eliminator 2). Another 40‑plus score would put Shafique in the race for the Green Cap, albeit still needing others above him to falter.
