IU vs QG Team Previews
Islamabad United
In their previous match against the Karachi Kings, Shadab Khan's team put on a strong performance, despite a poor showing from the bowlers who gave up numerous runs. The batting lineup, however, stepped up and secured a victory with six wickets in hand. As their opponents are currently struggling, Khan's team is looking to win this game and advance on the points table.
The addition of Alex Hales and Colin Munro adds to the team's already impressive batting strength, and they will be aiming to set up a big opening wicket stand. Rassie van der Dussen, Faheem Ashraf, and Azam Khan also did well in the middle order and are sure to bring confidence to the team. With deep batting, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, and Tom Curran are also expected to contribute runs.
However, the team will need to improve their performance on the bowling front. In this game, Hasan Ali and Rumman Raees will need to bowl tight spells with the new ball. In the last game, Faheem Ashraf and Tom Curran leaked runs, so they need to improve their lines. Shadab Khan and Mubasir Khan will also need to utilize the conditions and keep the scoring rate in check.

Quetta Gladiators
The upcoming match between Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United is one of the most anticipated matches of the 2023 Pakistan Super League season. The match is scheduled for March 5th, 2023, and both teams are expected to bring their A-game to the field.
Despite coming off a loss in their last match as well, the Quetta Gladiators are entering the match with a renewed sense of confidence after their superb bowling performance against Lahore Qalandars. However, they will have to face off against Islamabad United, who are currently at the third spot of the league table.
The Gladiators have been in shockingly poor form and would want to arrest the slide and move up. Despite this, the Quetta Gladiators are not to be underestimated. Led by captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, the team has shown impressive intent with the ball in recent matches. Their batting, however, has disappointed big time and unless they can get it right, they would prove to be another easy opponents for Islamabad United.
