IU vs QG Match Prediction - Feb 27, 2020

Islamabad United managed to avoid defeat by a whisker in its previous outing as its tail-enders played a vital hand. With two wins from three matches, Islamabad United is at the top of the PSL 2020 league table at this early stage in the competition.

Its only defeat has come at the hands of the Quetta Gladiators, who also have two wins from their three matches and are separated from Islamabad United by net run-rate only. The Quetta Gladiators managed to defeat a strong Karachi Kings side with a fair bit of ease and sent a message to all other teams that the defending champions are not ready to just hand over the crown.

This is the second time the two teams are going to be playing against each other in PSL 2020. The Quetta Gladiators won the first time around by three wickets.

Islamabad United vs Quetta Gladiators PSL 2020 is going to be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi on the 27th of February 2020.

IU vs QG Team Previews

Islamabad United

There was no reason that Islamabad United should have won its previous match against the Lahore Qalandars. They gave up a pretty big total and then got off to a very poor start. Islamabad United kept on losing wickets regularly throughout the inning but contributions from its less heralded all-rounders and the lower-order managed to pave the way for victory.

Shadab Khan scored his first fifty in PSL 2020 while Mohammad Musa scored a vital 17 not out batting at number 11. Luke Ronchi, Colin Munro, and Dawid Malan all got out cheaply. Colin Ingram and Asif Ali managed to get a few big hits away before getting out but both of them seemed to getting in some good form for the remainder of the tournament.

There are some problems in the Islamabad United batting lineup that are not going to be papered away by the non-batsmen every single time. Colin Munro can be expected to be hit with a lot more spin while Luke Ronchi’s consistency is going to be tested as well.

Mohammad Musa had an off-day with the ball, as did Faheem Ashraf, but Shadab Khan’s return to form would be very promising. As the captain of the Islamabad United franchise, Shadab Khan must lead from the front and try to perform in a similar manner as the last match.

There are some very good batters in the side that make Islamabad United dangerous but the side remains a bit inconsistent as a whole.

Islamabad United Playing 11

Luke Ronchi, Colin Ingram, Dawid Malan, Colin Munro, Asif Ali, Amad Butt, Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Rumman Raees, Safi Abdullah, Musa Khan.


Quetta Gladiators

Some changes in the playing eleven made the Quetta Gladiators a lot more formidable in the previous match than they had been so far. Naseem Shah got a chance to play, Tymal Mills made an entry into the team, and both of them had an immediate impact on the match.

Naseem Shah gave away just 23 runs in his four overs while Tymal Mils picked up two wickets including the important wicket of Babar Azam. Mohammad Hasnain picked up three wickets to continue his fantastic stint in PSL 2020 as well.

The big find for Quetta Gladiators has been the emergence of Azam Khan in the middle order. He has played two match-winning knocks already and has been instrumental in taking off the pressure from the other more established players.

Jason Roy, Shane Watson, Ahmed Shahzad, and Sarfaraz Ahmed make a decent batting lineup although they have yet to show that strength. A lack of runs from Shane Watson, Ahmed Shehzad, and Mohammad Nawaz is a big concern for the Quetta Gladiators.

We have been pleasantly surprised to see Sarfaraz Ahmed back to some sort of batting rhythm and contributing to the cause consistently.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather forecast for Rawalpindi on match day is pretty good. There should be no problem in getting a complete day’s play. The pitch at Rawalpindi is always a little helpful to the fast bowlers. There will be some bounce and carry in it. That can translate to a lot of runs in the T20 format. The outfield is fantastic and a lot of boundaries should be scored in this match.
